• App endpoint is registered as messaging end point in bot registration portal and provides an endpoint /api/messages to process bot and tab requests/response.
• App service hosts React application for tabs and set goals and provides custom APIs in back end for fetching and storing data securely.
• Single Sign On experience is implemented in React application for seamless user authentication.

Azure table storage

Azure search service
