Botframework-sdk: [NodeJS] The bot doesn't accept "add contact" request from skype

[NodeJS] The bot doesn't accept contact request from skype using BotConnectorBot.

@TheGrimmChester can you provide a few more details. What were you trying to do and what are you seeing? Are you saying that you can't add your bot as a contact in skype? Another question, are you running the latest Skype for windows client? This is the only Skype client that currently supports bots.

[TheGrimmChester]

I am trying to add the bot in my contact list with the link provided on developer.microsoft.com : https://join.skype.com/bot/[bot_id]. When I click the "add contact" button, the request is sent but I cannot verify on the bot side because I have no log.

• I run the latest version of Skype (7.22.0.107) on Windows.
• The bot is running when I triy to add it to my contact list.
• I use the latest botbuilder (0.6.4)
• Messaging Webhook (developer.microsoft.com): https://skype.botframework.com/api/bots/messages/[random_string]
• The bot is linked from dev.botframework.com
• I can send message to the bot in the skype client.
• I can receive message from the bot in the skype client.

I've forwarded this issue on internally.

This appears to be a problem on Skypes end of things and we're looking into the issue further.

I am seeing the same issue as well. Do we have an update on this?

Also, @TheGrimmChester : You mention above that the Windows Skype client is the only one supported for Bots. However, I do see other Microsoft provided bots in my iOS / Web Skype client.

Should I see my custom bot added to my iOS or Web-based Skype client as well?

Please re-open if this issue is still happening.

Skype team will follow up directly via email for more details to see if we can get logs to investigate.

[lilred]

Please follow up here rather than via e-mail, that way we have the possibility to subscribe/unsubscribe to the conversation, and any workarounds we find become available to the public! Thanks!
