task for a conversation resource response.

Remarks

Override this method to create a new Conversation.

POST to this method with a * Bot being the bot creating the conversation * IsGroup set to true if this is not a direct message (default is false) * Array containing the members to include in the conversation

The return value is a ResourceResponse which contains a conversation ID which is suitable for use in the message payload and REST API URIs.

Most channels only support the semantics of bots initiating a direct message conversation. An example of how to do that would be:

var resource = await connector.conversations.CreateConversation(new ConversationParameters(){ Bot = bot, members = new ChannelAccount[] { new ChannelAccount("user1") } ); await connect.Conversations.OnSendToConversationAsync(resource.Id, new Activity() ... ) ;

end.
