New Employee Onboarding(NEO) enables your organization to connect new employees to people & culture and provide them with consistent experience and information to be productive faster. Built with Sharepoint New Employee Onboarding solution as a backend with deep integration in Teams, NEO app makes it super easy for learning teams/ Human resources to manage relevant content and process for new employees using sharepoint lists. HR teams can also configure the time for an employee to be a new hire ex. 90 days and the app will stop notifying the new hires after that window. The new hire checklist is integrated into the NEO Teams app and is used to guide the new hire through the onboarding journey. The checklist can be corporate or departmental. Additionally, new hires can also introduce themselves using the app by sharing an introduction which is automatically shared with their managers. This automation makes it easier for managers to review introductions about all new hires and share them with the relevant teams in one shot! At any time, new employees can share feedback on a task in their onboarding journey or on the overall experience using a helpful bot command. All feedback is shared with HR team through helpful notifications and can be downloaded. Moreover, HR teams can also use the app to share pulse surveys for new employees at a configurable frequency.

Signin Error

Hello,
User is facing the below issue while accessing the app.

How should this be resolved and what is causing this issue?

It appears that the lookbook link on the following page is no longer valid:

Clicking https://lookbook.microsoft.com/details/75e60a32-9849-4ed4-b83e-b2b08983ad19 redirects you to https://lookbook.microsoft.com/.

NEO Bot Azure Table Storage CreateIfNotExists failure

Hi,

As per the code, any table should be created automatically before query/insert/update because I can see the code for InitializeAsync from BaseStorageProvider is called every time. This fails and as a result, the Bot fails in the following scenario.

1. Uninstall NEO Bot from the MS Teams client.
2. Go to Azure Table Storage and delete UserConfiguration table.
3. Install NEO Bot on the MS Teams client again.
4. After installing a welcome message should appear and user details should be stored in UserConfiguration table, this fails because it fails to create UserConfiguration table even though the code is there.
5. I also observe the same happens with TeamConfiguration table.

My team and I are working on one of our clients and need to have the solution for this to expand this bot's functionality as per our requirement.

Thanks
Amit Gaonkar

Error once app installed

Have encountered several issues while installing the app template.
First trying to install it in a Teams Channel server IP address could not be found.
While trying to talk with the bot, error message and an authentication button but clicking on it doesn't do anything.

New Employee Onboarding App is not Microsoft published

Hi,

We are getting the following confirmation message when trying to install the NEO template. The message here says that the app is not published by Microsoft that concerns Me and our client. Can you please look into it as soon as possible.

Thanks
Amit

Error deploying the solution in Azure (App Service)

After performing the previous steps indicated in the installation guide, when deploying the NEO solution in Azure, I receive this error:

{ "code": "DeploymentFailed", "message": "At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.", "details": [ { "code": "Conflict", "message": "{\r\n \"status\": \"Failed\",\r\n \"error\": {\r\n \"code\": \"ResourceDeploymentFailure\",\r\n \"message\": \"The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.\"\r\n }\r\n}" } ] }

I think it can be a problem when trying to download many packages or frameworks that use the web solution, this takes a lot of time and gives an error.

Teams Bot - Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes.

Deploying this new app as a test before we try in a live environment and having issues with the bot in teams getting the error - Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes.

This is for a brand new user just added as a test so the automated flow is working as the message appears on its own but not the correct content. I don't believe I have done anything wrong, deleted and re-created this twice and same error in Teams so what can i do to further fault find this?

Kind Regards

"Review introductions" from bot commands do not work and don't access feedback tab

Hi everyone ı have two question;

Secondly, I cannot access the feedback section in the team.

What is the solution for these two errors, thank you.

NEO Solution Cost

I'm trying to understand the fee structure for the NEO Solution Accelerator. Does it cost $75 per new user? If so, is that a straight fee or does it depend on what they do in the NEO Solution Accelerator?

unable to add the feed back tab in teams

unable to add the feed back tan in teams (Deploy using publishing and vs code deployment using build and publish commands )

Introduce Yourself pop up is empty

The "Say Hello to NEO" card displays with all options to Introduce yourself, Take a Tour, and View weekly Plan.
The bot responds when clicked on Introduce Yourself, with a pop-up window titled New Employee Onboarding that is empty.

The SharePoint list with the intro questions has been populated.

I need help with troubleshooting why the Introduce Yourself pop-up is empty, nothing is displayed.

Problem creating App Service

The app framework is dotnet3.1 but the only two options in Azure App Service are .net 6 LTS and .net 7 STS, how it must be handled?.

New Employee Checklist blank and Bot not responding

Hello,

I am having some issues after deploying the ARM and having the app uploaded to Teams without error. The bot does not respond to any of the commands. Also when I look at New Employee Checklist the page is just blank. Another thing I found was when I wanted to add the bot to a Team the window that pops up is also blank and I can not add the bot to the Teams.

Images below of each issue.

Bot not responding:

New employee check list blank:

Can't add to a Team:

I've checked other issues and they didn't seem to fit the same bill. Any help would be appreciated.

Microsoft.Web/sites/sourcecontrols Conflict Error

Hi, when trying to deploy to our tenant, we get a "deployment failed" message, with the Microsoft.Web/sites/sourcecontrols.
Can you help us?

"something went wron. Try again in a few minutes"

When I submit a new introduction or type employee checklist the bot responds with something went wrong try again in a few minutes.

Sign-in prompt doesn't follow the bot design guideline

There is a serious design issue:

• When user first installs the app, the bot sends a prompt to user to sign-in
• ->If user clicks on the "Sign-in" button and fails to authenticate on the first try:
• ----> The same button no longer works saying "The Sign In code was not found or expired. Please try asking the bot to sign in again."
• ---->The bot never send another prompt to sign-in if the previous attempt fails
• ----> If the user tries to use a functionality that requires users' identity (which is most of the app), the auth. fails and it never send another sign-in request. : Signature validation failed. Unable to match key
• Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityTokenSignatureKeyNotFoundException: at System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt.JwtSecurityTokenHandler.ValidateSignature (System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXX) at System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt.JwtSecurityTokenHandler.ValidateToken (System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXX) at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer.JwtBearerHandler+<HandleAuthenticateAsync>d__6.MoveNext (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer, Version=3.1.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXX)

Issue running application after install

Now that we've successfully deployed the application in our environment, we're starting to test and setup the different areas. In a preliminary test where the users is asked to Introduce themselves we do get a pop up window, however the window is blank!

See attached. What are doing wrong? We've double checked all the configurations in the app to make sure they're pointing to the correct places.
Do you offer paid support? We'd be happy to pay to get this up and running.

Thanks
Brendan

Bot not responding

Hi Community,
The app has been uploaded and I could see the new employee checklist in the tab but the bot is not responding on the commands. Is there any way that I can fix this?

Bot : "Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes"

Hi, after the deployment we face this issue with the bot. It occurred in two different environments therefore not intermittent issue. Please advise how to fix this.

Error with the introduce yourself feature

Post troubleshooting I was able to deploy the solution but the App doesn't work completely. Facing the issue with 'Introduce yourself'. I see the app insights record several instances of

The details of the log item are as followed

Hopefully someone is able to provide me with some guidance.

Thanks!

Troubleshooting Tips + Documentation Clarification

Below are updates to the documentations and clarifications on few steps during deployment:

1. Configuring SharePoint

The new lookbook URL is https://lookbook.microsoft.com/details/388a159f-475b-4557-9088-c9073a26c576. After deploying the site, continue with adding in a question to the NewHireQuestionnaire and verify that the New Hire Checklist has the required columns as described in the SharePoint Configuration guide

2. Setting up users and managers in test tenant

If you are using a test tenant, please make sure that all test users have the correct managers assigned. New Employee Onboarding uses the User Details in AAD to determine whether someone is a New Hire or a Manager. You can set up your tenant users through Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > Users

3. Deploying ARM Template

When deploying the template, we recommend the following:

• Base Resource Name should be less than 19 as the KeyVault should be less than 24 characters and the ARM template naming for KeyVault is "{base resource name}vault"
• Suggest that Base Resource Name be given in all lower cases to prevent case sensitivity in future applications
• Human Resource Link must be a team and not a channel. To get Team link, refer to the below screenshot:
• SharePoint tenant name should be in the form of *****.sharepoint.com

4. Verify Deployment Status

Before uploading the manifest to Teams, check the deployment status (steps below):

1. Go to Azure Portal and navigate to the Resource Group
2. Click on the Deployments:
   
3. If the deployment completed with the terminal provisioning state "Failed", then you will need to re-sync deployment. The transitive dependency set of the front-end web app pulls in over 1,000 NPM packages, and sometimes there is an error fetching all of the packages. To fix, please do the following:
4. Go to the "Deployment center" section of the app service that failed to deploy.
5. Click on "Sync" to restart the deployment.
   

5. Failing to Sync Multiple Times

If you are continuously unsuccessful with syncing your deployment from Section 4, you will need to delete the node_modules folder and try syncing again:

1. On Azure Portal, open the app service
2. Click on the url provided (https://******.azurewebsites.net)
3. Add .scm to the URL (https://******.scm.azurewebsites.net)
4. Click on "Debug Console" on the top menu then "CMD"
5. Navigate to Site > repository > Source > Microsoft.Teams.Apps.NewHireOnboarding > ClientApp
6. Delete "node_modules" folder or rename it to "node_modules_old"
7. Retry syncing the deployment again as described in Section 4

Issue when deploying manifest

When deploying the app manifest towards my teams admin center app catalog or through the teams app developer portal. I get the following error:

I have already tried adding the properties through the dev portal or by manually adding them to the manifest but with no success...

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?

adding to Teams Channel as a Tab - failure

When I try to add the app as tab to the existing Teams channel, getting below exceptions, any insight would be grateful.

The template does not specify the name of the azure key vault should be shorter

I was trying to deploy this template and the deployment failed with this error:
{

"status": "Failed",
"error": {
    "code": "VaultNameNotValid",
    "message": "The vault name 'BrusselsNewEmployeeOnBoardingvault' is invalid. A vault's name must be between 3-24 alphanumeric characters. The name must begin with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and not contain consecutive hyphens. Follow this link for more information: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2147742"

}

}

I find it more intuitive to specify this constraint in the deployment guide itself, rather than making the developer search for the error, then find the official docs:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/quick-create-cli#create-a-key-vault:

"Key vault name: A string of 3 to 24 characters that can contain only numbers (0-9), letters (a-z, A-Z), and hyphens (-)"

That would save time for the developers trying to deploy the template. Thank you!

Feedback function not working

Hello Team while I was able to deploy the solution, I continue to see the Feedback functionality(it goes on loop for sign-in) not working in the NEO app. Is this a bug?

The deployment guide does not which are the resources getting created in the resource group after the deployment

The deployment guide does not specify the complete set of resources which get created after deploying this ARM template. The developer deploying this template needs to inspect the ARM JSON in order to understand what's getting created. I find it nice to have in the guide:

• an explanation with all the resources which get deployed,
• the naming requirements for each resource
• and the purpose of each resource.

Thank you.

InvalidBotData while deploying time

plz help me on this

SSO doesn't work with SharePoint List in Teams tab

After the solution is deployed and when the user tries to access the New Employee Checklist from the Teams tab app, nothing happens.
It is expected that the user is authenticated and access the SharePoint List content directly within the MS Teams tab app

On Teams web client, the user needs to be authenticated on SPO first - In that case, he can access the content from the Teams tab - This is due to the authent cookie from the SPO connection being reused in the context of Teams.

On the desktop / mobile client, the authentication flow is not trigger and nothing happens.

Based on the description of this app, the user should be able to access SharePoint from MS Teams tab

Something went wrong

I followed the whole deployment process and had no issues. When I want to install the app in Teams however, I get the error message "Something went wrong"

Which is not helpful at all

The package manifest run through without any errors, so I guess the issues can't be in the manifest, right?

I have no idea where to look

NEO Bot UserConfiguration Conversation Id is getting empty

Hi,
There is a major bug with the conversation id getting empty even for users who have installed the bot. This is resulting in the failure to send automated notifications to Bot users.
I found that class AppManagerBackgroundService method SyncUsersFromSecurityGroupAsync updates UserConfiguration table with AadObjectId and conversation id as empty for all the users including users who already have bot installed.
See screen shot for the exact line of code

Thanks
Amit Gaonkar

Cannot find Option in Deployment Guide on Azure Portal

Hello,

I am working through the deployment guide to deploy the New Employee Onboarding App for my organisation but I have hit a block.

On Step 6, number 3, I don't seem to see the Add Setting option under the Settings options as stated. Grateful if you can point me in the right direction.

I have attached screenshots if that helps

Bot asks for credentials.

I was able to successfully get the app template deployed in Azure and deploy the teams app. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be working any I’m not sure how to identify what the issue is. The onboarding bot just responds with “Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes.” It also is asking for users to sign in. Any ideas what might cause this behavior and how I can go about troubleshooting it?

What is the value of adding the MS Teams template on top of the SharePoint NEO template?

What is the value of adding the MS Teams template on top of the SharePoint NEO template? All demonstrated functionality is in the SharePoint NEO onboarding site.

<BotError>Bot returned unsuccessful status code NotImplemented

Hello, any ideas why the bot returns <BotError>Bot returned unsuccessful status code NotImplemented after clicking "Introduce yourself" in Teams? HTTP 502 is the response code to the "invoke" request. It shows "Unable to reach app. Please try again" for the user. Please see screenshot below:

Cannot figure out complete learning plan url and new hire question from SharePoint

The steps "Step 3: Configure SharePoint Hub" in the deployment guide are not clear.
Need more details in steps.

"Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes" error

I have followed the deployment guide four times, without a successful deployment of this solution. Each time I deploy, go into the "test in web chat" or sideload into Teams and (in both locations) get a "Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes" error message from the bot. Any thoughts on why this is occurring?

Bot is not responding

I just recently deployed the NEO. However the bot is not responding. I tested on the web app in Azure and no responses are given there.
I see this error on the Channels:

"There was an error sending a message to your bot: HTTP status code not found.

Introduce Yourself pop up is empty / View Weekly Plan throws error message

The "Say Hello to NEO" card displays with all options to Introduce yourself, Take a Tour, and View weekly Plan.
The bot responds when clicked on the option to View Weekly Plan, with "Your complete plan is not available right now"
The bot responds when clicked on Introduce Yourself, with a pop-up window titled New Employee Onboarding that is empty, white.
Take a Tour seems to be the only functionality working; I can submit feedback, I can see the new hire checklist in a tab from teams, but again, I cannot introduce myself as the pop up is empty.

The SharePoint list with the intro questions has been populated.
I can see all the Feedback submitted from different users in a table from a teams tab, with the option to download. Seems that is working fine.

I need help with troubleshooting why the Introduce Yourself pop-up is empty, nothing is displayed, and with the feature View Weekly Plan error message.

Deployment /Failed for Microsoft.Web/serverfarms

I have encountered the following error during deployment.

{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.","details":[{"message":"This region has quota of 0 instances for your subscription. Try selecting different region or SKU."}]}

I had selected North Central US based on the products by region info and the required services. Hopefully this was a correct region.

My subscription is a Trial Subscription in an E5 developer tenant.

Please advise what steps are necessary to rectify the issue.

Thanks in advance!
