Get Checkin info of user

This sample shows feature where user can checkin with current location and view all previous checkins using bot.

Currently, Microsoft Teams support for get geolocation capability is only available for mobile clients

Included Features

• Bots
• Adaptive Cards
• Task Modules
• Device Permission API (Location)

Interaction with app

Try it yourself - experience the App in your Microsoft Teams client

Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).

App check-in location: Manifest

Prerequisites

• Microsoft 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)
• ngrok or equivalent tunneling solution
• M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.

Setup

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.

1. Setup for Bot

• In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource.
• Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
• While registering the bot, use https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint. NOTE: When you create app registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

2. Setup NGROK

1. Run ngrok - point to port 3978

   ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"

3. Setup for code

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

2. In a terminal, navigate to samples/app-checkin-location/nodejs

3. Install modules

   npm install

4. Update the .env configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword, BaseUrl with application base url. For e.g., your ngrok url. (Note the MicrosoftAppId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup for Bot), the MicrosoftAppPassword is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)

5. Run your app

   npm start

Note: If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment this line and put your debugger for local debug.

4. Setup Manifest for Teams

• This step is specific to Teams.
  • Edit the manifest.json contained in the appPackage/ folder to replace with your MicrosoftAppId (that was created in step1.1 and is the same value of MicrosoftAppId in .env file) everywhere you see the place holder string {MicrosoftAppId} (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
  • Zip up the contents of the appPackage/ folder to create a manifest.zip
  • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the left-bottom Apps view, click "Upload a custom app")
