Update your Skill Manifest

A default manifest describing your Skill is provided as part of the project, you can find this within the src\manifest folder. Following deployment this requires updating with the deployment URL and Azure AD Application ID. manifest-1.0 is provided for Power Virtual Agent support only, you should use manifest-1.1 for Virtual Assistant scenarios.

  1. Update {YOUR_SKILL_URL} with the URL of your deployed Skill endpoint, this must be prefixed with https.

  2. Update {YOUR_SKILL_APPID} with the Active Directory AppID of your deployed Skill, you can find this within your appSettings.json file.

  3. Publish the changes to your Skill endpoint and validate that you can retrieve the manifest using the browser (/manifest/manifest-1.1.json). Check the deployment scripts document.

    .\Deployment\Scripts\publish.ps1 -botWebAppName {YOUR_SKILL_BOTWEBAPP_NAME} -resourceGroup {YOUR_RESOURCEGROUP_NAME}
    

Note: {YOUR_SKILL_URL} is the endpoint URL where the Skill will receive the messages that matches with the “Messaging endpoint” of the Web App Bot resource after deployment (e.g. https://bf-skill.azurewebsites.net/api/messages). Also, {YOUR_SKILL_APPID} is the microsoftAppId value, the {YOUR_SKILL_BOTWEBAPP_NAME} is the botWebAppName and the {YOUR_RESOURCEGROUP_NAME} is the resourceGroupName that you can find in the appsettings.json file populated after the deployment of the Skill.
