Unable to connect Message From Using PVA in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 11

Hello, all,

 

We're looking to deploy a chat bot in O365 SharePoint and have followed these steps:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Virtual-Agents-Community/How-to-use-Chatbots-inside-SharePoint-pages-no-code-Power/ba-p/779757

 

The chatbot webpart has been deployed to our App Catalog:

The App has been added to the site in which we would like to deploy it to:

ui_1-1681922169102.png

After adding the webpart to the SharePoint page and then clicking "Edit web part", we input the following details into the "Chatbot Webpart" 

ui_2-1681922238752.png

Bot ID: fdc7b2764859499b948a996ec542b683

BOT Name: Unable to connect, my dude

BOT logo: {blank}

BOT Image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Icon-round-Question_mark.svg/1200px-Icon-round-Question_mark.svg.png

 

When I try to use the chat bot through SharePoint, I get the following error:

ui_3-1681922429147.png

What's really strange is when I try and connect to another user's Bot ID (taken from another thread here), I get the following message:

ui_5-1681922621609.png

 

(^Bot ID 7f109be3-f5ea-4c49-bc96-f6aa4b15a81d)

 

This functionality was initially working when we incorporated it into SharePoint and tried it a few months ago. Each bot is also currently working when testing them in the "Demo site". Currently, the SharePoint functionality won't work with any bots created in Teams nor any created through the PVA portal. We have tried removing and re-adding the SharePoint package, and re-adding the App. We've tried creating new bots, and nothing has worked for the past 4 weeks. We're completely at a loss for what is causing this. Any ideas?

    This has been solved with the help of Microsoft. The fix was to update the Bot ID to add the dashes that were present in the other user's bot (Bot ID 7f109be3-f5ea-4c49-bc96-f6aa4b15a81d) to my bot:

     

    Bot ID: fdc7b2764859499b948a996ec542b683 (original)

    versus

    Bot ID: fdc7b276-4859-499b-948a-996ec542b683 (updated)

     

    After this change, the bot worked. Which means that if anyone would like to use this same solution, they will need to add the dashes to the Bot Schema in the same locations as above.
