Is it possible to have my chatbot written in c++ to work with microsoft bot framework's bot connector?

I've a chatbot with rest api written in c++. Can this chatbot work with microsoft's bot framework bot connector to make my chatbot work with skype, email and etc?

Solution

  • Yes, you can connect any bot (written in any language) to the Bot Framework. Rather than use Bot Framework's Bot Builder SDK, you communicate to the Bot Connector service directly using HTTP over a secured channel (SSL/TLS). You need to pay special attention to the authentication procedures to make sure your bot is secure, but the process is well documented.
