Can a bot on Microsoft Bot Framework use Skype, Telegram, and email?

Question

Skype

Reading the Bot Framework FAQ
Bot Framework currently support?
Supported channels as of March 30, 2016 are:
Text/sms
Office 365 mail
Skype
Slack
GroupMe
Telegram
Web (via the Bot Framework embeddable web chat control).
Did I understand correctly that a bot created on this framework can use all these channels to communicate with the user?
That is, a user, having entered the site, can initiate a dialogue in any form convenient for him?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yes essesna!

Answer 3

For those who will ask the same question - yes and no.
In principle, it works, it can use these communication channels, and other communication channels can be attached to the request processing algorithm with crutches. Through a direct channel, you can connect, say, viber (sort of).
But so far (as of May 2017), the framework is still in the test stage and is not going into commercial operation. There are some bugs that I don't know when they'll fix it. For example, in Telegram, a bot can only respond, it cannot notify the user about the event itself. It's kind of like being treated with crutches.
You have to pay for universality, in the sense of functionality. Bots native have more chips, the same skype bot framework from the same Microsoft can do more, but this is logical.
