Retrieve UserName from Bot

Posted on by 29

My Organization has Office 365.  I'm trying to get the user's name from Virtual Agent on my webpage without having the user enter their name.  I can't seem to find a solution

    Hi @BatInDaCave,

    Did you manage to solve the problem?

    I have the same problem.

    Totally agree with what @Yoghurt  said.

     

    the purpose is to avoid user to enter their name during the conversation, instead, they now get a login window to enter their email and password. #Counterproductive.

    It sounds weird. If I'd make a bot for a Teams channel, why there is another authentication needed? And image how could I add an app to azure ad at a big enterprise...

    Hi @MillerNation ,

     

    You need to implement the Authentication to connect in Office 365:
