How to run pretasks before the prompt is run

[jdmevo123]

Im trying to use the teams-ai library for a teams bot.

Im stuck trying to get a pretask run before the message is sent to the LLM by the planner.

the flow im looking for the onmessage functionality in bot-sdk.

I am trying to have:
incomming message >> Fetch data from database >> supplement incoming prompt with data >> send to LLM >> return response to user.

I have tried with planner.plan, app.run and nothing is proving to be successful in this scenario. Do you hvae any examples where a function is run to summplement the incoming request from the user before going out to the LLM?

Have you looked into beforeTurn?

teams-ai/getting-started/CONCEPTS/PROMPTS.md

Line 104 in ab2130f

teams-ai/getting-started/CONCEPTS/APPLICATION.md

5. The `beforeTurn` activity handler is executed. If it returns false, save turn state to storage and end the turn.

The following is deprecated code, so it might be out of date, but it's an example of beforeTurn being used in a deprecated sample we had, quest bot.

teams-ai/js/samples/04.q.questBot/src/bot.ts

Line 139 in e7dcc20

app.turn('beforeTurn', async (context: TurnContext, state: ApplicationTurnState) => {
