5. Once you save the BotFlow, the WFS will reload the Activity.

6. Let’s add an activity. Click on the Activities Tab and Search for SystemCodeActivity. Drag and drop the Activity to the designer window.
   
   

   

   
   

7. Select the Activity, click on the Properties tab and change the Name to meaningful. In this example, we renamed it as SetResourceOptions.
   
   

   

   
   

8. Add the following snippet of the code. Double-click on the SetResourceOptions and replace the codes of the Implement method. You will also need to include the “TheDotNetFactory.Framework.BotWF.Common” library with a using statement to use bot features like HeroCard.
   
   

   Code Block
   using TheDotNetFactory.Framework.BotWF.Common;

   
   

   Code Block

   [TheDotNetFactory.Framework.Common.ActivityEventHandlerPostSharpAttribute()] public virtual void Implement(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //TODO: Implementation goes here! BotHeroCard botHeroCard = new BotHeroCard { Title = "BotRequestAppAndMgmtRolesTitle".ToEidResxString(), Text = "BotRequestAppAndMgmtRolesDescription".ToEidResxString(), Buttons = new List<BotCardAction> { new BotCardAction { Type = BotActionTypes.ImBack, Title = "ITShop_Common_ApplicationRole".ToEidResxString(), Value = "ApplicationRole" }, new BotCardAction { Type = BotActionTypes.ImBack, Title = "ITShop_Common_ManagementRole".ToEidResxString(), Value = "ManagementRole", } } }; this.CurrentWorkflow.ResourceOptions.HeroCard = botHeroCard; }

   
   

9. Click on the Activities Tab and Search for BotHeroCardActivity. Drag and drop the Activity to the designer window. Please rename it to reflect its purpose. We have renamed it to ResourceOptions.
   
   

   

   
   

10. Please make sure that all the activities are connected with lines. The Workflow should look similar to the image below.
