Account Linking Microsoft bot framework Facebook Tutorial

I recently started working on a bot for Facebook through the Microsoft Bot Framework, and one of the key features I need is a good account linking system. When I did research I could only find a tutorial for the Facebook Messenger Platform https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/account-linking I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar tutorial for Microsoft Bot Framework or where I can find more information on this topic, or if anyone has advice.

Thanks in advance

Even if you are using the BotFramework, you are still going to want to use Facebook's account linking (as described at the link shown above). To initiate the log-in, you'll need to create a custom message:

msg = new builder.Message(session);
msg.sourceEvent({
     facebook: {
        attachment:{
        type:"template",
        payload:{
            template_type:"generic",
            elements:[{
              title:"title",
              subtitle:"subtitle",
              image_url:"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Needle.jpg",
              buttons:[{
                 type:"account_link",
                 url: "https://www.someurl.com/authorize"
              }]
           }]
         }
        }
       }
    });
