Creating a Microsoft Azure Bot Service

Once you have configured a virtual proxy, you need to create a Microsoft Azure Bot Service. The Bot Service provides communication between users and the external channels.

Information noteBefore you begin, we recommend that you open a notepad to record usernames, passwords, IDs, and tokens that you need to complete the configuration. Copy the following template to a notepad:

====Microsoft Azure Bot Service====
Bot handle =								
MicrosoftAppId =

    Azure search bar for bot services

  3. Click Create.

  4. Select Azure Bot from the list.

  5. Click Create.

  6. Create an Azure Bot with the following parameters:

    Parameters Value
