You can send outgoing messages as usual, when your bot is added by users.
Please run the following skype bot sample (this sample shows the help text when you add this bot), and you can download C# code (MessagesController.cs) in github.

I am using the bot framework with Cortana , and the communication goes very well . However when I have to send a message to Cortana after completing a log running task , it is sometimes accepted by it and mostly rejected with a timeout exception.
what I am trying to do is send an ad-hoc or a proactive message from the bot to cortana using the previous dialog’s conversationId and the serviceURL . usually if my response is within 15 sec it gets through . But I do not want to limit my usecase here as there could be more long running jobs. do you have an example to sending proactive messages to the client / cortana in REST?

Hi, Bashir-san
Sorry I don’t know about the details of Postman, but first the serviceUrl (https://skype.botframework.com or https://smba.trafficmanager.net/apis/) will be determined by the bot framework, and this service url will be notified by bot framework first. When the user adds your bot, this first notification (webhook) will be arrived into your bot, and you can retrieve this service url. (For details, please see the section “Messaging Flow – Make contact with your bot” in this post.)
Please see which one is used in this notified webhook body message, and it is the right service url for your bot. (I think that the correct service url will be https://smba.trafficmanager.net/apis/ for your case, because of HTTP status 400. But, you remember that https://skype.botframework.com is still now being used in several cases…)
If https://skype.botframework.com is used, please register the new bot in your bot framework developer portal and use this new one.

The second, I think that the HTTP status 403 is indicating your access token is invalid. There’re many cases for the invalid access token like the expired token (the token is expired by 1 hour), etc, etc, and sometimes the reason is described in HTTP response body.
If this 403 error remains (not fixed), could you please send your access token string (which is very long string) by e-mail because it’s the secure information. I’ll try to check this access token when I’m in available.

I get the token posting to https://login.microsoftonline.com/botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token
Then I send oneway message to my skpye using Postman.

POST https://skype.botframework.com/v3/conversations/29%3A1iFtpwQ…/activities
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOi…
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{
“type”: “message”,
“timestamp”: “2016-08-18T09:31:36.2281894Z”,
“from”: {
“id”: “28:1f7dd6e9-cbd7-4c38-adf2-6e9bcab5310a”,
“name”: “My bot”
},
“conversation”: {
“id”: “29:1iFtpwQ…”
},
“recipient”: {
“id”: “29:1iFtpwQ…”,
“name”: “My Name”
},
“text”: “Good morning !”
}

I use my bot ID and my user ID which I extract them from sesseion.message. but always I get 400 bad request.
If I use https://smba.trafficmanager.net/apis/v3/conversations/…. I get 403 Forbidden.
I tested my bot by adding it to my Skype. When I type a message it echo back.
What is wrong.

Thank you

I’m so sorry for the late response, and I modified this post for the latest updates.
As you write, now the protocol of my old post works well, but soon it’ll be changed and please use the new authentication protocol. (If you’re using SDKs, please upgrade to the new version and re-build your app.)
Please see the details for the authentication changes. (v3.0 -> v3.1)

Thanks !
