MS Team App with Connector (Incoming webhook) and Bot support in GCC-High and DOD

Hello Hasit P, I'm Segunfunmi, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you. Thank you for posting your query in this forum. Thank you for your question. Yes, creating a custom bot for MS Teams in both GCC-High and DOD environments is possible. However, custom connectors are not available in these environments. To configure a bot for these environments, you need an account in the Azure Government cloud and an Azure Bot resource created in the Office 365 GCC High environment. Your bot project should be in C# or JavaScript and use Bot Framework SDK version 4.14 or later. You must also ensure that your bot uses the cloud adapter, which lets you specify settings specific to the Azure Government cloud and the Office 365 GCC High environment. Only the Microsoft Teams channel is available in the Office 365 GCC High environment. Also, image URLs in Adaptive Cards aren’t supported in GCC-High and DOD environments. You can replace an image URL with Base64-encoded DataUri. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation. Unfortunately, custom connectors are not currently supported in GCC-High and DOD environments. However, for GCC High, bots and message extensions are now available in Microsoft Teams. Please evaluate the risk and compliance of any endpoint and URL you connect to, ensuring it meets your compliance requirements, including FedRAMP, DFARS, ITAR, etc. Sources: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/bot-service/how-to-deploy-gov-cloud-high?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=csharp https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/platform/bots/what-are-bots Please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance. Kind regards, Segunfunmi.

Thank you for the detailed response.

Most of the documents i referred related to the support of Connectors in teams gov cloud states that webhooks and connectors aren't supported in these two environments (GCC-High and DOD).

But this roadmap of mircosoft teams indicates that Custom connectors and webhooks are already lauched in GCC-High and DOD environments.

Could you please confirm?

We are using botframework-connector SDK for python for implementating bot, in that we would like to retrive user's conversation ID whenever user install teams bot in personal scope or groupchat.

To get conversation id we were listening on_installation_update_add event of botbuilder.core.teams.TeamsActivityHandler and using turn_context.activity.conversation.id to that get conversation id.

1. Is there any expiry time for this conversation ID?

2. Can i believe that conversation id would be unique globally (Across multiple orgs)? which refers unique connection between user and bot.

3. Can i flooded a message (adaptive card) on the same conversation id within teams bot limits
