I'm trying to add Microsoft bot to teams group through an api,i have gone through graph api documentation and teams apps concepts etc, but i didn't find anything, main goal of the this idea is to add bot with out user interaction.
Is there any way to add bot?
It's currently in beta version you can try to use
POST /teams/{team-id}/installedApps
{
teamsApp: <AppId>
}
This API currently require admin consent so don't know if I recommend it more here,
I saw apps like Polly that are doing it in an undocumented way, no idea how

I need to create an App for Microsoft Teams live events.
I've found that it is possible to Teams Meetings
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/apps-in-teams-meetings/teams-apps-in-meetings
The documentation doesn't mention Live Events.
Is it possible?
Thank you all!
Currently there is no API to set up live event in teams. Check the documentation. The closest one i can remember is that you can use MeetNow, but it is done in Graph API using application permissions. So a bot, application or a Flow / Logic Apps can create a Teams meeting.
I have a logic app which posts a channel chat message to teams automatically when a new item is created in SharePoint. This I have working but our client requires that all the team members receive a banner alert and activity feed which I am having a lot of difficulty with.
What I've already tried...
Using a Incoming web hook on the teams channel - this was a very simple way to post from the logic app but the incoming webhook don't seem to support mentions.
Using the msft graph api - The /team/channel/message endpoint can post messages and user mentions but the this endpoint doesnt support channel or team mentions. It also appears that the graph API needs to use delegated permissions to post messages in teams. I'm using application permissions as this is a logic app. The logic app HTTP post connector doesnt offer the "connect as username#tenant.com" some of the other connectors use.
Using the flowbot post message - Like the above channel and team mentions are supported here so the post is added to the channel but with no notification to the team members
Using a notification only bot - I thought I nearly had it with this one. Microsoft's node bot sample number 57 looked like it can do most of what I want, it iterates through the users in the team and messages them this a customisable alert message...
https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/javascript_nodejs/57.teams-conversation-bot
However I can't see how this bot can be triggered from my logic app as it seems to require an existing conversation context or an #mention from within teams to start communicating with users.
What I'm considering trying next
Iterating users within the logic app - Next I plan to try and get team membership from the graph API and iterate the members in the Logic App, posting a message to each user separately. I had hoped to utilise the group #mention feature as a simpler way so I'd be grateful if anyone had any thoughts on other ways of doing this, or maybe there's something wrong with what I've already tried that you could give me some expertise on.
Thanks in advance ;)

You're on the right track with the Bot, but you're wanting to send something called a "Pro-active" message. You need the bot registered in the channel in order to get access to a few key properties (conversation id, service url, etc.), but you can use those to send a message from -outside- your bot (e.g. in an Azure Function). You might be able to do this directly from a Logic App, but I haven't tested that specifically.
To find out more, see my answer at Programmatically sending a message to a bot in Microsoft Teams but I've also got a recent blog post that you might find interesting for background on this at How Bots Actually Work.
Hope that helps
You can use Graph to post a message in 1:1 chat as long as you have the chat it. You can find the answer in this post Send message to personal Chat via Graph API
You can also call Graph API from Logic Apps.

I'm trying to figure out how to segment multiple customers in a SaaS app when using Twilio's Authy.
One of the ways is to create an application per customer (with/without sub-accounts per customer/customer-group). However, to onboard customers automatically I would like to create applications via API.
Authy's docs are unhelpful - https://www.twilio.com/docs/authy/api/applications#create-new-application says "To create a new Authy application, click the red plus ('+') button from the console".
Is there a way to create an app from the API?

I'm afraid there is not a way to create an Authy app from the API.
I want Teams users to use my Bot.
But I don't want to inform the MicrosoftAppId of the Bot for the users.
According to this site : https://msdn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/microsoft-teams/botsadd
I tried the way 1(select Add to Microsoft Teams) and the way 3(Get or create a deeplink)
(I skipped the way 2 since it needs information about MicrosoftAppId)
Those ways worked for users using Teams in Windows PC.
But they never worked for users using Teams in iOS Moblie.
So, how can I solve the problem?
Is there any other way to let the users use my Bot without inform the MicrosoftAppId?
The implicit registration of a bot from mobile device is not supported yet. In order to discover a bot, user need to invoke the bot at least once from desktop client/web.
Alternatively, you could sideload your bot in perticular team by creating an app manifest file. Sideloaded bots can be discovered by all the members by bot name.
I'm currently investigating the possibility to connect rails applicatrion with exchange for getting user information. I think to create rails page with user profile, and get profile information from exchange.
I found this: Outlook Social Connector
As I understand, this is an API for getting information about user (contact list, updates, new e.g.) from exchange, isn't it?
So, please, help me to understand this thing...
Is it possible to get facebook-updates of my outlook-contacts using some of EWS/Social Connector APIs ?
No, the Outlook Social Connector is a way that Outlook can connect to social networks. It sounds like you want to access data in the Exchange server. Have you looked at the REST APIs? There's a Rails sample here: https://github.com/jasonjoh/o365-vcftool. The code from that sample is also wrapped in the ruby_outlook gem.
