I was testing it and it is good, I also have a somewhat more worked bot that complements well with what I already had. Thanks for sharing !

hi I installed this mod


https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4254

for the automatic bot but I can't configure it how to set the chat id and the token I can't understand the guide, does anyone know how to do it?

[vbgamer45]

Did you create the bot yet?  You have to message the BotFather on telegram
Then do /newbot

That will give you the token

The chatID you can get via taking to the getid bot with /start that will reply back with your chat id.

[goldenstudios]

ok he gave me the token code but I did not understand the ideal of the chat where I take it

[vbgamer45]

Chat id is the room/channel you want to use I believe.
Another way to find it check out https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.5/event_handlers/telegram/  the get telegram chat id page section

[goldenstudios]

my token is format this:
numer:letterAndNumer

can't understand where to find the chatid
and how to set it up in the smf mod

I go to my newly created bot and put /start ? because it doesn't give me anything

[vbgamer45]

token is good you just need the chat id number.
Check my post above on how to find it.

[goldenstudios]

i have contact this myidbot
but you say me is i not a bot because i write my account no bot

[goldenstudios]

ok solved with my id
thanks man

[vbgamer45]

Glad you have it working!

[goldenstudios]

I noticed, however, that the bot sends messages only to me..how did I force it to send messages in a public group?
when i send message show this:
/getgroupid
This is not a group! Stop fooling me!

in the end I solved it
but I wanted to ask and is it possible for the mod to also insert a preview image of the links it sends? when do you create a post? maybe attached

[vbgamer45]

Yes I think it is possible there is a setting you can pass with the API but i i did not build it into the mod.

[goldenstudios]

can you tell me how to do it? so I try and if it works it can be implemented
