Great Tutorial, thanks kevin. May be you can create another video to show how to use PVA bots as skill or integrate node js middleware into them

[cheterete]

Just what I needed! ❤ Although my Teams doesn’t have the “app” button so I can’t add PVA. And you also mentioned I need a work account instead of a personal account, but the link you provided in the top right corner is about a business account.

hello kevin, it was an really excellent video with simple and short explanation. It will be helpful if u can make video which will integrate excel or sqlserver db to fetch data and display in PVA bot.

[aymeetolander]

Hello Kevin, I really enjoy your videos, you make learning easy and fun! Can you make videos on jamf Parent please? There is not a lot of information on how to use that app, specially when the iPad belongs to the school and the parents are trying to set some boundaries for usage at home

Thanks Kevin. Can you help me on the store hours for a more complex scenario? I am building a bot for bank branches. It has thousands of branches across the country. When a customer asking for "Opening Hours", the bot needs to ask back "Where are you located", waiting for user provide a post code or suburb name. If there is a match, then the bot needs to return all the branches in that suburb. If it doesn't have a branch in that suburb, it needs to provide a nearby branch. How do I provide a list of all branches, suburb and postcodes? Also how would the bot work out the nearby branches when there is no direct match?

[mohdahmed-zeuz]

[thenoobdev]

[sushmapatole]

@Kevin Stratvert I have successfully implemented a chatbot using Direct Line, and within the web chat interface, I have integrated a 'Home' button. Now, I am calling a trigger (Dashboard_trigger) that I created in Bot Composer when the user clicks on the 'Home' button. Is it feasible to achieve this functionality?
