ChatOps (Teams bot) – is it possible to add custom commands in the suggestions list in Teams?

Hi Dojo!

I’m exploring the ChatOps functionalities with DataMiner and I implemented a few custom bot commands that will provide me very useful insights that I can access/request ad-hoc even directly from my mobile! (just a pocket away 🤳📱)

I noticed when typing “@DataMiner” there is a suggestions list showing up:

My question: Is it possible for us to add/extend these suggestions?

For example: What we intend to often use is following command:

@DataMiner run command tie-line overview

it would be nice if we can already push a few of these prefixed custom commands into the suggestion- list from the Teams Bot.

That will make the experience even more complete and fast! 😍

Not on topic, but a small tip: you can use ‘run’ also instead of ‘run command’, will save you a bit of time 😉

We have a release ready that will reflect the shorter command

Hi Thijs

I love the idea but unfortunately atm this is not possible as the list of commands is generic and not scoped to your session/bot instance only.

Wkr

Knowing the command name by heart is not always easy, therefor I also like the command:
“show commands” –> this allows me to select the command I want to run directly. Is it on your roadmap to list the “Show Commands” in the intellisense/suggestion list? Do I need to upgrade teams Chat Bot/APP in a certain way to reflect that once available? Or will that happen directly via my DM cloud connection?

Baptiste Pattyn [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 26th April 2023

We are limited to 10 different entries in the manifest for commands. We have split this up into different manifests for Personal and Group chats since these serve different use cases.
The commands available in Personal chat are:
Login
Logout
Help
Show DMS
Change DMS
Show Element
Show Alarms
Show View
Show Shares
Show Outgoing Shares

For group chat we have removed Login and Logout since this always happens in a private chat with the bot. That is why we had room for two extra commands here being Show and Run for commands.
