Demos delivered in this session

  • Teams Leaderboard – measure Channel engagement with a Teams Toolkit sample in Blazor – use Gamefication approach for displaying activity from a Microsoft Teams channel.   Sample uses TeamsFx for scaffolding a Teams Blazor project, calls Microsoft Graph to retrieve messages and reactions and a simple UI to visualize the Leaderboard.  Populate dropdowns with Team and Channel IDs.   App counts/returns score data for evaluated activities (messages initiated, reactions, responses) for user selected activity in targeted Teams Channel.      

  • Surface an embedded web chat that can communicate with users in a Teams Channel – application sample allowing Microsoft Teams to interact with external users via Web Chat.  Uses Bot Framework, Azure Cosmos DB to store conversations, adaptive cards and activity handlers for conversation.  Architecture and code reviewed.   External user submits request in Web Chat form.   Communications about request limited to internal Teams channel except when Bot is @ mentioned.  Easily add new channel, web chat bot to app. 

  • Updates on Independent Publisher Connectors for Power Platform & UK Bank Holidays Connector Demo –  time off request app using independent publisher connector to grab a list of UK Government Bank Holidays (json).  Employees quickly determine if time being requested falls on a bank holiday negating the need to request time off for those official holidays.  User enters dates in request form, Power Automate flow processes the request - checks holidays and returns answer.   Create a connector during Hactoberfest 2021.
