how to get newly created chain info when calling createReplyChain?

[richard1122]

Hi, I'm using createReplyChain to send messages to a new chain (in the channel).

      const activity = {
        type: ActivityTypes.Message,
        attachments: [{
          contentType: 'application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive',
          content: buildFeedbackDialog(message),
        }],
      } as Activity
      const resource = (await adapter.createReplyChain(context, [activity]))[0]
      console.log(`Add record: ${resource.id}`)

After that, the only thing I got is resourceId

So after I reply to the message created by the bot and received onMessage webhook, how could I know which 'initial activity' or 'reply chain' the replied message activity belongs to?

Or knowing the relation between the bot's initial activity and the user reply message?

Thanks.

Hi @richard1122 ,

You may check out the conversation object (and its id) from the incoming activity, by context.activity.conversation.id, and the conversation id looks like:

19:[email protected];messageid=1557438940572

which means Channel id + Reply chain root message id: 19:[email protected] is channel id messageid=1557438940572 is the parent / root message id of the current reply chain.

Hi @robin-liao ,

Thanks for your reply.

I know that I could extract message_id when receiving updates from the context.

But when creating the reply chain ( bot send the first message ), no message_id is returned.

The only response from createReplyChain is:

export interface ResourceResponse {
    /**
     * Id of the resource
     */
    id: string;
}

The id is 1:1xel-XL7Sppbet .....

Which means I'm not sure how to get the message_id when creating reply chain.

Thanks.

@richard1122 you're right!! After some investigations, I found it's indeed a design flaw. It should've return new message id. Reopen this issue and will fix bug soon. Thanks!
