BadArgument:Security token not valid for this conversation

Question

I'm trying to use Direct Line API of microsoft bot framework,

Following steps are followed.

1. Got Conversation Id from application(running on node.js)

[conversationId123]

2. Create Conversation Token from postman https://directline.botframework.com/api/tokens/conversation

[ConversationToken456]

3. Get Conversation Messages using conversationId123 & Authorization header using ConversationToken456

https://directline.botframework.com/api/conversations/ conversationId123 /messages

I receive

BadArgument:Security token not valid for this conversation

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

Hard to know what's going wrong without seeing the whole flow; though the error indicates that the token is invalid.

Here is a DirectLine sample using Node.js. You might want to use it as the baseline for your sample and I'm pretty sure you will find out the error.

Answer 2

I think before sending a message to the BOT you should call the URL stream that returns from the initial "Start conversation" POST request. At least that appears at the documentation In my case, using C# I'm able to retrieve a token, then message ID and even request the bot to send me a list of activities, but I'm unable to send a message (the POST request never comes back with an answer)
