3.2) Adding the bot user to the group<\/h2>\nTo add a bot user to the group, we will need to post to the\u00a0v1\/groups\/{{group-id}}\/bot<\/strong>\u00a0endpoint with the botUserId generated in step 3.1.<\/p>\n\n \n\n\n| \n METHOD<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n POST<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n URL<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n {{endpoint-url}}\/v1\/groups\/{{group-id}}\/bot<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n REQUEST BODY<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n {<\/p>\n \u201cbotUserId\u201d:\u201d<<bot user id>>\u201d<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n ![\"add-bot-user-to-group\"](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/06\/3.2add-bot-user-to-group.png\") <\/p>\n
3.3) Generating access-token for the bot user<\/h3>\nTo generate access-token for the bot user, we will need to do a GET to the\u00a0v1\/bot\/accessToken\/{{bot-user-id}}<\/strong>\u00a0endpoint.<\/p>\n\n \n\n\n| \n METHOD<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n GET<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n URL<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n {{endpoint-url}}\/v1\/bot\/accessToken\/{{bot-user-id}}<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n ![\"generate-bot-access-token\"](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/06\/3.3generate-bot-access-token.png\") <\/p>\n
Note: The accessToken used in the header for steps 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are the access token that belong to the group admin. Only from the next step will we be using the accessToken of the bot user.<\/p>\n Step-4: Replying to user input as a bot<\/h2>\nNow, using the token generated in step 3.3, you could send a message (or attachment \/ action) \u2013 but with the accessToken of the bot. When it appears for the subscriber, it would appear with the test bot\u2019s name.<\/p>\n ![\"send-message-to-subscriber\"](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/06\/4send-message-to-subscriber-1.png\") <\/p>\n

Tapping on the bot name, (GLS test bot1<\/strong>\u00a0here), opens up a contact card for the bot that looks like this (name and profile pic used while creating bot in step-1):<\/p>\n![\"bot-profile-image\"](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/06\/4.2bot-profile.jpg\") <\/p>\n
