About how to create a bot that will work in the current session and respond to messages
TelegramBot | bot object |
getUpdates | check incoming messages |
sendMessage | send reply |
XXXX.
Import the package:
In[49]:=
<<KirillBelov`TelegramBot`
Let's create a bot first:
In[50]:=
bot=
["1247031088:AAGW73yzggrm4Tr7bldGCCaIrrwISNsdDzg"]
 | TelegramBot |
Out[50]=
TelegramBot
 |
| ||||||||||
Let's create an event handler that will respond to all "Hello" messages:
In[51]:=
handlerHi[bot_TelegramBot,update_?AssociationQ]:=Module{chat},chat=update["message","chat","id"];
[bot,chat,"Hello"]
 | sendMessage |
Delete webhook if exists:
In[52]:=
 | deleteWebhook |
Out[52]=
okTrue,resultTrue,descriptionWebhook was deleted
Add this handler as a bot property:
In[53]:=
bot["UpdateHandler"]=handlerHi
Out[53]=
handlerHi
And run the bot in the current session:
In[54]:=
bot["Task"]=SessionSubmitScheduledTask
[bot],{Quantity[1,"Seconds"],300}
| HandleBotUpdates |
Out[54]=
Go to the chat and let;s send to the bot "Hi"
