The Inbound Outbound BOT sample application  can be downloaded here: http://gotuc.net/media/p/100.aspx

To get started open the Inbound Outbound BOT project in Visual Studio and open the App.config file.

You will need to modify the sections highlighted above there is no need to change the ocsServerFqdn or the Domain these settings are already configured for you in the sample.

You should use the user, password and sip address of account number two provided in your Account Activation email.

• UserName
• Password
• SipUri

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="userEndpointSettings" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
  </configSections>

  <userEndpointSettings>
    <add key="ocsServerFqdn" value="ae.gotuc.net"/>
    <add key="userName" value="testuserbot"/>
    <add key="password" value="password"/>
    <add key="domain" value="gotuc"/>
    <add key="sipUri" value="sip:testuserbot@gotuc.net"/>
  </userEndpointSettings>
</configuration>

Once you have changed the App.config settings save your changes.
Now open the workflow1.xoml file in Visual Studio, This is the Windows Workflow for our sample application.

You should now see the Workflow loaded in Visual Studio.
Select the getPresenceActivity and view its properties by pressing F4 on your keyboard.

In the property window change the Targets property value to the sip address of account number one provided in your account activation email !

Now we need to change the CalledParty property value for the imOutbound and voiceOutbound activities. Set these values to the sip address of account number one provided in your account activation email

Just to be clear on the sip address configuration i have a screen shot of my GotUC account activation email.
If you are confused about which account to use and where this should help clarify things.

Now press F5 to debug the sample application and you should see the following screen.
All three steps should show complete once this is completed logon to Office Communicator or Communicator Web Access.

 

Once the application starts you will see a command window appear, All three steps should show completed if you configured your app.config file correctly and you are on the Internet.

In communicator type the name of your BOT user you received in your account activation email, you should see the contact appear. Start a conversation with this contact to test the BOT.

Make sure you Presence is set to Available for the first demo.

Start an IM conversation with your BOT account send over a text message, you should see an inbound IM message arrive from the BOT after pressing enter.

You can see the invite in the screen shot below.

The IM conversation should respond with your original message and append the following text (This is a message from inbound outbound sample.)

Now lets change our presence to Busy and start a new conversation with our BOT.This time the workflow will place an outbound AudioCall because the IfElseActivty has logic to place an outbound call instead of an IM message based on the status of my presence.This was done using the getPresenceActivity in our workflow.

Start a new conversation and after pressing enter you should receive an Inbound call from the BOT. The BOT will speak a text to speech message and hang up.

Click on the incoming call request and you should hear the message. (You will need audio configured to hear it)

This sample demonstrated an out bound IM and Voice call based on the status of a users presence. The trigger was my inbound IM message to the BOT but this could easily be triggered by a service application that monitors a database or even an email arriving in Exchange.

Introduction

The GotUC developer sandbox is a fully functioning Office Communications Server environment with Microsoft Exchange 2010. If you are a registered user you will be able to use Office Communicator client to sign-in and have IM, Video and Voice conversations with other members in additions to your Automated BOT applications.

The environment is merely for testing and can be used to quickly develop and deploy unified communications applications into the GotUC cloud. You can test a proof of concept or perform a customer demo without having to have your own OCS infrastructure in place.

Getting Started

To develop applications using the UCMA 2.0 SDK you will need the following items installed on your developer PC.

? Visual Studio 2008 SP1

? .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

? UCMA 2.0 SDK (32bit or 64 bit)

Download UCMA 2.0 (32 Bit)

Download UCMA 2.0 (64 Bit)

? Office Communicator Client

In order to use the developer sandbox you must register for an account at http://www.gotuc.net once registered you can click on the Developer Sandbox tab and register for developer access.

Step 1 ? Sign-on to http://www.gotuc.net and click the Developer Sandbox tab.

Step 2 ? Click Register for developer access.

Step 3 ? Complete the form and you will receive your account in 1-2 business days.

You will receive two Accounts one to logon to Office Communicator and the other can be used by your application. Once your application is running you simply have an IM or voice conversation with the application sip address provided.

Office  Communicator Options

If you don?t already have Office Communicator installed please install a licensed version or one of the trial versions available for download.

Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 Trial Download

Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Trial Download

It is recommended that you use the newer R2 version, If you already have communicator installed you can use it by simply changing your sign-in address. If you need to run the non R2 version of Office Communicator 2007 this will work as well.

If you are unable to install Office communicator or you are unable to alter your sign-in address no worries you can use the communicator web access client by pointing your browser to:    
https://cwa.gotuc.net

Configuring  Office  Communicator

To configure Communicator select the menu in the top left and navigate to:
Connect > Change Sign-In Address?

Enter the sip address provided to you in your welcome email in the field labeled Sign-in address.

Now click the advanced button and make sure your server settings are set to automatic. If you currently use Office Communicator for another network you can revert back to your original settings once finished. You can also federate your sip domain with gotuc.net so you could test your bots from your existing sip domain. This is explained in a blog post on gotuc.net.

Using Communicator Web Access
Office Communicator Web Access can be run using your web browser. Navigate to https://cwa.gotuc.net
Sign in using your credentials provided in your registration email. Make sure you supply the domain name before your userid for example: ?gotuc\keith? enter your password and click sign in.

Once logged on you can add contacts and start conversations.
