How to create a bot in microsoft teams which can talk to a third party application

Question

Hi,

I want to create a Microsoft Teams bot which should be able to talk to a third party application. The bot should call a webhook service URL (of the third party app) whenever any message is posted in the bot. The webhook service will process the request and respond back to the message in the bot.

For the above use case, can someone please help me with the following details:

1. API to create the bot with a webhook service URL (if any) . If API is not there to create a bot, how can a bot be configured.
2. API to update the webhook service URL of an existing bot
3. How to get the token required to interact with the bot or to create the bot
4. API to post a message in the bot

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sriparna,

Hope you are doing well.

Please find the Microsoft Documentation Article that you can use to create and manage MS Teams Bot with webhook; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/what-are-webhooks-and-connectors.
