Unfortunately, Tony and I were not successful in sending a message during this stream, but we were correct as to why sending to a channel was not working. The bot we created had not been added to any of the channels in our Microsoft Teams instance.
I decided to start again from scratch with a new bot. After a few Google search, I came across the Beginners Guide to MS Teams Development #2: Bots guide by Tomomi Imura. I used this to create my bot using App Studio available inside the Microsoft Teams client. I recommend checking out the post if you are looking to get started working with Microsoft Bots.
After creating the Reverse Bot from the post and seeing it work, I added the Team scope and found the option to add my bot to a channel in a team. In App Studio, when you click Install in the Test and distribute section, you can click the dropdown arrow on the Add button and select Add to a team. This will prompt you to select a team and channel to install the bot to.
Once I had done that, I was able to use the methods Tony walked me through on the stream to locate the channel_id and successfully send the message to that channel.
I'm still working on successfully sending a proactive message to a user. I believe we were close and just have to find the correct user_id. I'm going to continue working on it and will include any solution in a follow up post.
