How to connect QnA Service on qnamaker.ai to an azure chatbot using Bot Service?

I’ve created a QnA Service using qnamaker.ai and when I proceed further to create a bot using the Bot Service, I cannot because the upon searching there’s no option like Bot Service (Preview) as mentioned in the tutorials. Instead I’m presented with the following: • Web App Bot • Functions Bot • Bot Channels Registration

On Azure, there are 3 services related to Bot:

  1. Web App Bot
  2. Functions Bot
  3. Bot Channels Registration

Web App Bot and Function Bot are both part of Bot Service:

Bot Service provides the core components for creating bots, including the Bot Builder SDK for developing bots and the Bot Framework for connecting bots to channels.

Simply put, Bot Service will host a Web App / Functions Bot in Azure and let you config channels or edit the code online.

Bot Channels Registration is for projects where the developer creates their own web app project based on Bot Builder SDK and deploy the web app to Azure/AWS/Google Cloud Platform. In Azure's Bot Channels Registration, the developer can link their web app's url to Azure and enable channels to communicate to their bot. In summary, this scenario enable more flexiblity in development and hosting.

In your case, you can create a Web App / Functions Bot use QnA Bot template. Once created, in Application Settings > under App settings > Find QnAKnowledgebaseId & QnASubscriptionKey, enter image description here replace the two fields from the information in QnA service. enter image description here Save the update and your Bot should use the QnA service you published.
