botframework mention conversation id in webchat

How do we mention the conversation id in the botframework webchat instead of it being randomly generated? We can currently mention the userid and username for the webchat but could not have the conversation id mentioned.

For more information on this subject, check out the guide: Send proactive messages.

To be able to send an ad hoc message to a user, the bot must first collect and save information about the user from the current conversation. The address property of the message includes all of the information that the bot will need to send an ad hoc message to the user later.

bot.dialog('/', function(session, args) {
    var savedAddress = session.message.address;

     // (Save this information somewhere that it can be accessed later, such as in a database.)

    var message = 'Hello user, good to meet you! I now know your address and can send you notifications in the future.';
    session.send(message);
});

After the bot has collected information about the user, it can send an ad hoc proactive message to the user at any time. To do so, it simply retrieves the user data that it stored previously, constructs the message, and sends it.

function sendProactiveMessage(address) {
    var msg = new builder.Message().address(address);
    msg.text('Hello, this is a notification');
    msg.textLocale('en-US');
    bot.send(msg);
}
