    parameters=BotChannel(
        location="global",
        properties=MsTeamsChannel(
            properties=MsTeamsChannelProperties(
                is_enabled=True
            )
        )
    )
)

Add Direct Line Channel

from azure.mgmt.botservice.models import (
    BotChannel,
    DirectLineChannel,
    DirectLineChannelProperties,
    DirectLineSite
)

channel = client.channels.create(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    channel_name="DirectLineChannel",
    parameters=BotChannel(
        location="global",
        properties=DirectLineChannel(
            properties=DirectLineChannelProperties(
                sites=[
                    DirectLineSite(
                        site_name="Default Site",
                        is_enabled=True,
                        is_v1_enabled=False,
                        is_v3_enabled=True
                    )
                ]
            )
        )
    )
)

Add Web Chat Channel

from azure.mgmt.botservice.models import (
    BotChannel,
    WebChatChannel,
    WebChatChannelProperties,
    WebChatSite
)

channel = client.channels.create(

                    WebChatSite(
                        site_name="Default Site",
                        is_enabled=True
                    )
                ]
            )
        )
    )
)

Get Channel Details

channel = client.channels.get(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    channel_name="DirectLineChannel"
)

List Channel Keys

keys = client.channels.list_with_keys(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    channel_name="DirectLineChannel"
)

# Access Direct Line keys
if hasattr(keys.properties, 'properties'):
    for site in keys.properties.properties.sites:
        print(f"Site: {site.site_name}")
        print(f"Key: {site.key}")

Bot Connections (OAuth)

Create Connection Setting

from azure.mgmt.botservice.models import (
    ConnectionSetting,
    ConnectionSettingProperties
)

connection = client.bot_connection.create(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name,
    connection_name="graph-connection",
    parameters=ConnectionSetting(
        location="global",
        properties=ConnectionSettingProperties(
            client_id="<oauth-client-id>",
            client_secret="<oauth-client-secret>",
            scopes="User.Read",
            service_provider_id="<service-provider-id>"
        )
    )
)

List Connections

connections = client.bot_connection.list_by_bot_service(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name
)

for conn in connections:
    print(f"Connection: {conn.name}")

Client Operations

SKU Options

Channel Types

Best Practices

1. Use DefaultAzureCredential for authentication
2. Start with F0 SKU for development, upgrade to S1 for production
3. Store MSA App ID/Secret securely — use Key Vault
4. Enable only needed channels — reduces attack surface
5. Rotate Direct Line keys periodically
6. Use managed identity when possible for bot connections
7. Configure proper CORS for Web Chat channel

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for enprojectnment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
