Problem Summary
I've successfully created and deployed an Azure Bot Framework bot that works in Web Chat, but I cannot figure out how to actually use it in GroupMe after following Microsoft's configuration instructions.
What I've Done
- Created a simple Echo bot
- Deployed the bot with messaging endpoint:
https://[myhost]/api/messages - Created an Azure AI Bot Service resource
- Configured the messaging endpoint in Azure
- Verified bot works in "Test in Web Chat" - it responds correctly ✓
- Followed Microsoft's documentation to configure GroupMe channel
- Created a GroupMe application at dev.groupme.com
- Set Callback URL to:
https://groupme.botframework.com/Home/Login - Entered Access Token and Client ID in Azure Bot Service → GroupMe Channel Configuration
- GroupMe channel shows as "Healthy" in Azure
The Problem
I cannot find or add the bot to any GroupMe group.
What I've Tried:
Option 1: Search for bot by name in GroupMe
- Opened GroupMe app/web
- Searched for my bot name
- Bot does not appear in search results
Option 2: Using OAuth redirect URL
- Navigated to:
https://oauth.groupme.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[MY_CLIENT_ID] - Successfully logged in with GroupMe credentials
- After authentication, redirected to
https://dev.botframework.com - Page is blank (see screenshot)
Additional Info:
- Bot works perfectly in Azure Web Chat
- All channels show "Healthy" status
- No errors in Azure logs
- GroupMe application is created and configured at dev.groupme.com
Questions
- What am I missing to actually add this bot to a GroupMe group?
- Is there a separate step to create a GroupMe bot instance (beyond the OAuth application)?
- Should I be using dev.groupme.com/bots/new to create something additional?
Environment
- Azure AI Bot Service (Web App Bot)
- Bot language: Python
- GroupMe account: Active and working
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
