Integrating a PVA bot into an existing channel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I work on a team that has a support channel for other developers in my company. I am trying to find a way to make it easier to ask questions more effectively on our support channel. I've built a bot with PVA as a proof-of-concept which could work well, but I'd like to know if the following enhancements are possible:

  • Can the bot operate within an existing chat channel, instead of separately as its own app? Ideally I don't want our users to have to find the bot in order to use it.
  • Can the bot respond to all new conversations in the channel?
  • Can the bot scan questions posted?

Ideally, the flow for a developer in our support channel would be the following:

  1. Write a question in our existing support channel
  2. The bot responds to the question, and potentially asks a few follow-up questions based on their original query
  3. The bot pings a dev on my team.

If a PVA bot is incapable of this, do you have any suggestions for what might be better? Thanks!

    hi @Anonymous  let me answer some questions

     

    • Can the bot operate within an existing chat channel, instead of separately as its own app? Ideally I don't want our users to have to find the bot in order to use it.

    YES, if you are part of the admins teams

    • Can the bot respond to all new conversations in the channel?

    Yes, the bot is going to respond to every post

    • Can the bot scan questions posted?

    Far as I know is not possible, because is like a trigger, when a new question is added to the bot reacts.

     

    mmm I recommend you to see this videos from Tomasz Poszytek - YouTube
