LingoBot MS Team Setup

This portion of the installation guide only applies if the collaboration environment you will be using is MS Teams. If you will be using either Flowdock or Cisco Spark or Slack, please skip to the corresponding setup instructions.

• Navigate to the Bot Registration Page page. Create a Botframework Registration by completing the Bot Registration Page.

• On this page, you can set a custom icon for the bot under the "Upload custom icon" section. You can download the following icon and upload it, upload your own custom icon, or simply leave it blank.

• In the Display name field, enter the name that you would like LingoBot to respond to.
  • By default, we recommend simply calling it "lingobot", however you're welcome to name it whatever you would like.
  • If you do choose to call it something other than "lingobot", make sure that you set the LINGOBOT_NAME variable in the configuration file to whatever name you chose.
    • Example: export LINGOBOT_NAME=lingobot-123

• Click Create Microsoft App ID and password. Store the created app id and app password for use later.

• Copy the created app id and past it into the LingoBot configuration file

(/var/lib/jenkins/lingoport/lingobot-<x.y>/config/lingobot_config.sh) next to the BOTBUILDER_APP_ID variable declaration.

Example:

export BOTBUILDER_APP_ID=e8911192-eca4-4f37-8284-616f3339f0e6

Furthermore, make sure the LINGOBOT_ADAPTER variable is set to botframework.

Example:

export LINGOBOT_ADAPTER=botframework

• Copy the created app password and past it into the LingoBot configuration file

(/var/lib/jenkins/lingoport/lingobot-<x.y>/config/lingobot_config.sh) next to the BOTBUILDER_APP_PASSWORD variable declaration.

Example:

export BOTBUILDER_APP_PASSWORD='wdS50{cphgeDCTKZO073{]#'
