Use the home page of the bot itself to publish a web chat channel.

Use the latest V4 web chat control

Call out to Luis and get results.

Entity extraction dealt with separately

Right now, there are several hard-coded values relating to the TableStore. Move them to app settings (secrets) and update Azure App service

Create a way to store mandatory category mappings.

For example

If ProductFamily = Surface
Then
User must provide Colour and Memory categories

If Product = Surface Go
Then
User must provide Connectivity category

Publish the bot to azure and verify it works by testing via the 'test in web chat' pane of the azure portal

Standard welcome message when use joins the conversation.

Should only be shown once per user per conversation.

Copy: "Welcome …. I can help you find Microsoft devices, what are you looking for"

Create a RG on Azure to contain resources

Deploy to Azure and setup CD based off master branch

Implement a repository for accessing table storage (for mandatory category table) which can be easily used within the search dialog

Update readme. Include demo script and link to live bot example. Should be readable by someone not familiar with the project. Inlcudes the Dispatch Readme

If there are no links for the current combination of categories, then execute a search using the category values that have been gathered

Make the bot work on Teams

Extract entities from Luis utterance.

Check mandatory categories mapping

Prompt the user to provide all mandatory categories if not provided in initial utterance.

Create QNA KB which provides links as answers based on metadata (categories)

Create the basic bot, scaffold the conversation dialogs and plug in the Bot Services class with the .BOT file

We are using table storage for other reasons, therefore the benefit of using QNA for link mapping is muted. Would it make for a smarter, more cost effective solution to use table store for link mapping and mandatory categories. This task is to explore it and see if there are technical blockers

From bot code and luis application model

If QNA has a link as an answer, automatically show the user a button to open the link in their browser rather than showing the actual link itself

generally improve the 'start again' flow by offering a hero card with suggested action of the sorts of things users can ask

It is not working in the Azure portal and the main website which has the web chat gives and IIS 502.5 error
