Aura Bot channelData

The current section details the management by aura-bot skill of the channelData property used by Aura to define the Aura Request – Response Semantic Model.

The Aura semantic application model defines a set of properties that can be used as secondary elements of the Microsoft Azure Bot Service and Bot Framework Activities property included in the application activities.

channelData is an open field in the activity, i.e., the message exchanged during a communication between a channel and a bot built on top of Microsoft Bot Framework, that is devoted to define the specific format of the request needed by the specific bot to provide a proper response to the channel and, thus, to the user.

The current section will describe the specific channelData aspects related to aura-bot, such as:

• How to handle the different channelData versions.
• channelData mapping in Aura response.
• channelData validations in requests and responses.
