Issue connecting a Bot Framework Composer Skill bot from Copilot Studio

Hi,

 

I have published a bot using Bot Framework Composer as a skill bot onto Azure App Service. 
I have copied the manifest URI which is generated from Bot Framework Composer and used to configure the skill on Copilot Studio. I am able to see the below error without any error code. It says "We couldn't reach this skill. Contact your skill developer.".

To resolve this I could not see any lead(error code) on why this error is showing up.

 

To check if there is something wrong with the Composer bot, I even tried to deploy the Skill bot using Bot Framework dotnet. But I could see the same error showing up.

 

Can someone help me on what is the root cause for this issue.

 

Thank you in Advance!

    Hi @Santhosh05 , we faced similar challenges when we were trying it. So, we wrote this article to capture the steps. Error messages are very hard to understand but check a few things that we mentioned in the article:

    * Your manifest file is reachable

    * Your endpoint, msapp id etc are correct in the manifest file

    * You have put the manifest file url as the home page url in the app registration

    * .env file for nodejs project (or settings file in C#) have correct info

     

    Above steps are more are covered in the article. Hope this helps.

    Hi @Santhosh05 ,

     

    As per your error message, it seems you have missed adding the manifest URL as the homepage URL. I found this document very useful when you are integrating the Composer skill from Copilot studio. Make sure you follow the steps and see if it helps you to get rid of this error message.
