In this chapter, we have learned the following:
- Registering a bot: Once registered, we use the dashboard to test the bot to ensure that it is talking to the connector service and/or use the web chat control, and an auto-configured channel, to experience what users will experience when conversing with the bot
- Connecting to channels: Connect the bot to the conversation channels such as Skype, Slack, and/or Facebook Messenger using the channel configuration page
- Testing bot: Test the bot's connection to the Bot Framework and try it out using the web chat control
- Publishing bot: We get to publish the bot
