Botframework-sdk: Attachments in version 3.0

Created on 28 Jul 2016 · 7Comments · Source: microsoft/botframework-sdk

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what's the right way to send attachments in new API version (3.0>)?
I've tried it of several ways without success. The only thing I could was send image using base64 encoding. Example:

type: message/image
attachments: [ { contentType: 'image/jpg', contentUrl: 'data:image/jpg;base64,[content of file here]' } ]

However, according with documentation, in contentUrl parameter, the url of my image/file would be enough.

I'd really like to know what's the final way to do this, considering images and other types of attachments. Thank you.

Below code is working for me from a .net api. I was initially having issues with protocol mismatch, where I am using my api with https but using http for images. After changing image url's to https they were working.

reply.Attachments = new List<Attachment>();
reply.AttachmentLayout = "carousel";

ThumbnailCard card = new ThumbnailCard();
List<CardImage> image = new List<CardImage>();
image.Add(new CardImage() { Url = "image url" });
card.Title = item.Name;
card.Text = item.Value;
card.Images = image;
reply.Attachments.Add(card.ToAttachment());

@rajarameshvarma I'm using REST API and it seems it doesn't have all the new Skype Bot features...
I think it works to you because you are using .NET. I will test again later.

Anyway, thank you.

@lucasmdesousa .NET SDK calls into the same REST API documented here.
