Cant send message using directlineapi in bot framework

Question

I am using directline api for webchat.

After generating token, Along with that token in the header and activity object in the body I am requesting to this url:

https://directline.botframework.com/v3/directline/conversations/{conversationID}/activities

I am getting 404 page not found response:

Here is my Activity object:

{"type":"message","text":"Testing Directline API","conversation":{"id":"conversationId"},"recipient":{"id":"User request id"},"from":{"id":"mybot id","name":"My Bot Name "}}

My Request body:

{"type":"conversationUpdate","id":"ID","timestamp":"2017-12-23T05:03:45.5925924Z","serviceUrl":"https://directline.botframework.com/","channelId":"webchat","from":{"id":"FROMID"},"conversation":{"id":"conversationid"},"recipient":{"id":"mybotid","name":"Bot Name"},"membersAdded":[{"id":"mybotid","name":"Bot name"}]}

I don't know how to fix that.

getting 404 page not found response

If you’d like to send an activity to the bot, the API that you are using seems ok.

POST https://directline.botframework.com/v3/directline/conversations/{conversationID}/activities

Based on my test, I suspect something wrong with {conversationID} that you provided, which causes the issue. Please try to open a new conversation and use the returned conversation id to send activity and check if it works fine.

In my test, if I provide an incorrect conversation id, I will get 404 with “Unknown conversation” error message in fiddler.
