Reply to a conversation thread in teams using Teams bot

I have a bot that is created by using Microsoft botframework sdk, I’m trying to find a way to reply to a conversation thread in a teams Channel conversation without being prompted first by a user. So for example given a certain condition (eg. triggered by some event such as time of day, a pull request, etc.) it posts a message in a channel to a particular thread. I have read the documentation on the proactive messaging in teams. I gather that in order to send a message to a teams channel, the bot needs to know the “conversationId” of the user. This information is stored in the conversationreference object, and it gets this from the current conversation. However, in my case I don’t have a ‘current conservation’, because I don’t want to just respond to a user, I want to post a reply to a thread proactively. How can I achieve this ?
