Question

Can we use Markdown with Bot Framework for Skype for Business?

We implemented a code to send an image following the document below. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-create-messages

But it didn't work. So we though Skype for Business may not be able to use Markdown feature.

Answer 1

Markdown is not currently a supported text format for Bot Framework bots on the Skype for Business channel.

For more information on supported message formats see: Skype for Business Bot Framework (Preview) > Feature Support

Messages : Your bot can send plain text, HTML, and emoticons to a user or group. Users can send rich text, HTML, and emoticons to your bot.

Note: HTML support is planned for mid-to-late June release.
