Specify relationships between app capabilities |
This sample app illustrates how to specify one-way dependency relationships between app capabilities in Microsoft Teams using the "elementRelationshipSet" property and functionality requirements with "hostMustSupportFunctionalities". |

The Microsoft 365 RT Sample App Feature is a Node.js application designed to showcase one-way dependency relationships between various capabilities within Microsoft Teams, including bots, tabs, and message extensions. By utilizing the 'elementRelationshipSet' property and the 'hostMustSupportFunctionalities' feature, this sample enables developers to define dependencies that ensure proper functionality, enhancing the integration and usability of Teams apps across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
- Tabs
- Bots
- Compose Extensions
- Element RelationShip Property
- OneWay Dependency
- Host Must Support Functionalities with dialogUrl
-
Microsoft 365, Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
-
To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 16.14.2 or higher)
-
dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunneling solution
-
M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.
The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
- Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
- Install the Teams Toolkit extension
- Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
- Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
- Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
- In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.
If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.
Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.
-
In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource
-
Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
-
While registering the bot, use
https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages
as the messaging endpoint.NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels
. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
In a terminal, navigate to
samples/requirement-targeting-oneway-dependency
-
Install modules
npm install
-
Update the
custom-environment-variables
configuration for the bot to use theMicrosoftAppId
andMicrosoftAppPassword
,BaseUrl
with application base url. -
Update the
default
configuration for the bot to use theappId
andappPassword
. -
Run your app
npm start
This sample app feature is to show oneway dependency
Manifests | Capabilities | Dependency |
---|---|---|
1.OneWay ME-DependsOn-Bot | Bot and Action-ME | Action-ME Depends on Bot |
2.OneWay Tab-DependsOn-Bot | Static-Tab and Bot | Static-Tab Depends on Bot |
3.StaticTab-With-DialogURL | Static-Tab with dialog URL | Host Support Functionalities |
- This is to specify One-Way Dependency between actionME contains a bot-sent-card scenario and has to depend-on bot to work properly.
JSON for ME-DependsOn-Bot
"elementRelationshipSet": {
"oneWayDependencies": [
{
"element": {
"name": "composeExtensions",
"id": "composeExt_ID",
"commandIds": [
"createCard"
]
},
"dependsOn": [
{
"name": "bots",
"id": "${{BOT_ID}}"
}
]
}
]
},
- This is to specify One-Way Dependency between static tab and bot where the static tab dependsOn Bot
JSON for Tab-DependsOn-Bot
"elementRelationshipSet": {
"oneWayDependencies": [
{
"element": {
"name": "staticTabs",
"id": "staticTab_Id"
},
"dependsOn": [
{
"name": "bots",
"id": "${{BOT_ID}}"
}
]
}
]
},
- This is to specify Static tab that contains a dialog using "hostMustSupportFunctionalities"
JSON for Static-Tab with dialog URL
"staticTabs": [
{
"entityId": "staticTab_Id",
"name": "Personal Tab",
"contentUrl": "https://${{BOT_DOMAIN}}/tab",
"websiteUrl": "https://${{BOT_DOMAIN}}/tab",
"scopes": [
"personal"
],
"requirementSet": {
"hostMustSupportFunctionalities": [
{
"name": "dialogUrl"
},
{
"name": "dialogUrlBot"
}
]
}
}
],
Note: Steps for manually uploading app manifests:
- The toolkit will automatically generate a
build
folder for each manifest inside theappPackage
directory. - Go to the build folder, locate the package (e.g.,
appPackage.local.zip
), and upload it to Teams.
Install App:

actionME dependsOn bots, actionME won't show up in Outlook
Tab dependsOn bots, Tabs won't show up in Outlook
