How to get conversationId for skype user for sending skype message

[jameslew]

Hi Shijuamt,

Which API are you using? If you're using the C# SDK there are CreateConversation and CreateDirectConversation methods that will give you an id to use in subsequent calls. Read here for more detail: https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/csharp/builder/sdkreference/routing.html

@jameslew what is the equivalent to CreateConversation and CreateDirectConversation in the NodeJS SDK? Is it ChatConnector#startConversation(IAddress)?

[Thegaram]

@palmerabollo I believe this is hidden in the Node.js SDK. If you don't specify message.address.conversation, the SDK will automatically create a new conversation for you. (See Universalbot.ensureConversation)

This is somewhat related: #1193

[muzahmed]

@Thegaram yup, thats correct -- thanks!

@palmerabollo let us know if you have further questions/issues -- closing this for now.

is there any possible way to get skype bot id ?

[TrashCoder96]

somebody help with getting conversations id by REST Skype API? without C# or Node.js SDK

[annstriganova]

@TrashCoder96 have the same question and spent a lot of time to find the answer, but unsuccessful. The only thing I found out: It's possible to obtain conversationId by sending /get name to specified group chat (doesn't work for 1-1 chats), answer will be like this: name=19:[email protected]

P. S. /get name is unavailable on Skype for Linux Beta and Skype for Web
