Ending conversation

My bot (using MS BotFramework) is supposed to be hearing the conversation stream. If someone mentions 'chatbot' it should say 'Here I am!', otherwise stays quiet. It seems to be very simple and maybe it is but I am having a hard time trying to implementing it. Here is what I have: 

bot.add('/', function(session) {
  if (someoneSaidChatbot) {
    session('Here I am!")
  } else {
    // session.reset(), maybe? No!
    // session.endDialog() then? Uh...nope.
    // nothing? Hmmm. negative
  }
});

So, nothing works. If I leave there the bot just hangs and it stops listening to the stream or answering commands. Any thoughts?

I'd like to suggest use endConversationAction() to register a Bots Global Actions

bot.endConversationAction(
      'enddialog',                 //dialog Id
      'Here I am',                 //message
      { matches: /^.*chatbot/i }   //match pattern
    );

since this is global action, anytime when bot heard "Chatbot", it will say "Here I am" , if there are some dialog in stack, your proposed solution might not work.

It may also depend on which channel you're using. Some channels don't offer the ability for the Bot to listen to all of the messages in the conversation.

This code ends a dialog when someone types "chatbot" as part of the utterance. Is this what you are looking for? 

bot.add('/', function (session) { 
    if (session.message.text.search("chatbot") >= 0) {
        session.endDialog("Here I am");
    }
});
