Print custom username in Azure chatbot.

Question

Hi Team ,
I am using the following code to print the custom username and ID.

ID is coming with the help of following code but name is not coming.

                var ID = turnContext.Activity.From.Id;
                var userName = turnContext.Activity.From.Name;
                await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text($"Hello and welcome- {userName}.{role}"), cancellationToken);
                await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text($"This Is your ID -{ID}"), cancellationToken);

can you please tel me is there any configuration for username in Azure portal side.

Thanks & Regards,
Preeti Bhati

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Here's an example of how to print username (BotBuilder Sample).

// the channel should sends the user name in the 'From' object
var userName = turnContext.Activity.From.Name;
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync("You are seeing this message because this was your first message ever to this bot.", cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync($"It is a good practice to welcome the user and provide personal greeting. For example, welcome {userName}.", cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
