resource "awscc_chatbot_microsoft_teams_channel_configuration" "ChatBot_Test" {

  configuration_name = var.Name_Chatbot
  iam_role_arn       = aws_iam_role.role.arn

  ## Here we put the channel ID of the Microsoft teams group, but in the AWS Chatbot when it creates it does not identify the "Channel Name" and sets it to Null.

}

Debug Output

Resource "awscc_chatbot_microsoft_teams_channel_configuration" "ChatBot_test" {
+ arn = (known after apply)
+ configuration_name = "ChatBot_Notifications"
+ guardrail_policies = (known after apply)
+ iam_role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxx:role/xxxxxxx"

}

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

field: teams_channel_id

In the configuration Channels of AWS Chatboot the channel name field should appear as the name of the channel name if the default is "General" or if you create another should also put the name.

I provide the information on how the link to the teams channel is provided.

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/xx%xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%40thread.tacv2/General?groupId=xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx&tenantId=xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Actual Behavior

field: teams_channel_id

It is always setting the Channel Name to NULL.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter all the information from Resource "awscc_chatbot_microsoft_teams_channel_configuration".
2. terraform apply
3. Validate in the AWS ChatBot in the Channel settings. Check the field called Channel Name. You will notice that there is nothing.
4. Select the Channel I just created and edit it manually.
5. Check the field called Channel URL and copy all the information from the URL that appears there. Look that in this link appears the word NULL and not the name of the channel we want to send the notifications.
   https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/xx%xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%40thread.tacv2/null?groupId=xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx&tenantId=xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
6. If you try to send a test notification it does not reach the Teams group, because you cannot identify which channel name to send it to.

Same problem here

[SuryaTeja18]

The issue is also the same with CDK CfnMicrosoftTeamsChannelConfiguration construct:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_chatbot.CfnMicrosoftTeamsChannelConfiguration.html

It doesn’t send Channel Name so its always set to null. If it does include Channel Name, this ideally shouldn’t occur.

[SuryaTeja18]

On a side note, is there any reason as to why ChannelName is also not a "required" parameter in SDK? Eg - create_microsoft_teams_channel_configuration (boto3)

https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/chatbot/client/create_microsoft_teams_channel_configuration.html

bump, it still doesn't work

[7adityaraj]

same issue, It is always setting the Channel Name to NULL.
while trying to create via AWS console, it take full URL of msteam (link to the channel) and channel name get populated itself

@SuryaTeja18 , to confirm, are you able to replicate the problem while using CDK ? where the Channel name always returned null ?
