Link previews in Facebook Messenger bot using MS BotFramework

I'm using the node.js botFramework from Microsoft to create a Facebook Messenger bot.

Everything is working fine except when the bot sends the user a link. The link is shown in the chat window but FB does not generate any preview for it.

Is there a way to configure the app/bot or the message my app sends back so that the link preview is generated?

I do not believe that Facebook supports automated link previews for URLs that are shared via bots. You'll need to generate your own HeroCard for the url.
