Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.BotService
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;

// Authenticate using DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription and resource group
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync("myResourceGroup");

// Access bot collection
BotCollection botCollection = resourceGroup.GetBots();

Resource Hierarchy

ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── BotResource
            ├── BotChannelResource (DirectLine, Teams, Slack, etc.)
            ├── BotConnectionSettingResource (OAuth connections)
            └── BotServicePrivateEndpointConnectionResource

Core Workflows

1. Create Bot Resource

using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService.Models;

// Create bot data
var botData = new BotData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
    Kind = BotServiceKind.Azurebot,
    Sku = new BotServiceSku(BotServiceSkuName.F0),
    Properties = new BotProperties(
        displayName: "MyBot",
        endpoint: new Uri("https://mybot.azurewebsites.net/api/messages"),
        msaAppId: "<your-msa-app-id>")
    {
        Description = "My Azure Bot",
        MsaAppType = BotMsaAppType.MultiTenant
    }
};

// Create or update the bot
ArmOperation<BotResource> operation = await botCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed, 
    "myBotName", 
    botData);
    
BotResource bot = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Bot created: {bot.Data.Name}");
