title: Making a bot forward an activity using Microsoft Bot SDK
body: <h2>I have mode progress on my bot, but have not solved my problem. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/53197560/10609586">You can view my new post that goes into more detail (and has actual code) here.</a></h2>
  
  <p>I previously used Telegram as my messaging service, it had a RESTful API where I could make a bot forward a message to a certain conversation identified by a chat ID. I have been trying to find a way to replicate similar functionality for Teams using the Microsoft Bot SDK. I've looked into the MS documentation on proactive messaging and RESTful API, but I dont think they perform a similar task.</p>
  
  <p>To be more detailed, my goal is this:
  From my app send a POST request to my bot that contains </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The necessary credentials</li>
  <li>A message/attachment to forward</li>
  <li>The conversation ID of who to forward this message to</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As requested, a step by step explanation of the work flow:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>User in my web app triggers alarm.</li>
  <li>This alarm triggers a POST request with a message that is sent to the bot to dispatch to MS Teams users.</li>
  <li>The bot receives the POST request and sends the message to the specified conversations
  
  <ul>
  <li>The users and group chats would be specified in the POST request, or stored in a database the bot can reach</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>No need to keep track of replies to the message, this bot is purely for notifications.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone can offer advice or can point me towards resources they think would be helpful, I'd be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I am currently looking into the strategy of sending a POST request to the bot with an additional JSON field that specifies that the message be forwarded and to whom. Will update if I find it works.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
