I am trying to setup my bot so that it will 'listen' to a specific user and print out any incoming message.
I have already setup a bot in telegram using BotFather. This is what I have so far
const { Telegraf } = require('telegraf')
const bot = new Telegraf('my_bot_token_here');
bot.telegram.getChat(Chat_Id).then(function(chat) {
console.log('chat info', chat);
});
The object does not contain the user message.
Any advice on this is appreciated.
Yes, absolutely. You need to check the 'from' field in the message before executing your logic.

I recently got a domain from Google Domain and it provides professional emails for the domain. So, I made a support#domain email to send and receive emails. Right now, I built a web app that will use this email to send email-verification to new users who sign up.
I got the code working, however, I used OAuth2.0 from Google to allow the web app to sign into the support email. This causes the Access token to expire and forces me to into my .env file and replace BOTH tokens. How tedious! If I were to publish this web app, I can't just go into my heroku vars and replace the tokens every hour. Thats extremely impractical.
I looked into service accounts by google, but they seem to STILL need OAuth anyways as a 3 legged OAuth. As I am using Express.js, I wanted to know if there was a way to set the tokens and be done with it permanently. Essentially giving the web app permanent control of the google account. What do I do? And what do I use? All advice is greatly appreciated.
Code for sending email verification:
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer")
const dotenv = require("dotenv")
const {generateVerifyToken} = require("./auth")
const { print } = require("#AlecRuin/color-logger")
dotenv.config()
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service:"gmail",
auth: {
type: 'OAuth2',
user: process.env.EMAIL,
clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
refreshToken: process.env.REFRESH_TOKEN,
accessToken: process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN
}
})
module.exports= async function(email){
try {
let mailOptions={
from: "support#domain.us",
to:email,
subject:"Verify your email",
text:`
Thank you for signing up with redacted!!
To verify your email (and make sure you're not some kind of annoying bot), simply follow this link:
${process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"?"www.redacted.com":"localhost:3001"}/api/user/verify/?token=${generateVerifyToken(email)}
`
}
print("sending email",new Error,{isClient:false})
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions,(err,data)=>{
if (err){
console.error(err);
return err
}else{
print("Email sent!",new Error,{isClient:false})
return true
}
})
} catch (error) {
print(error,new Error, {isClient:true,severity:4})
return error
}
}
I am learning TestCafe and am trying to create an account on a website and then logging in to Gmail to find the activation link. When I try to do this I just get a browser isn't secure message when I get to the part to enter a password. How do I get Gmail to trust TestCafe?
While you might succeed in doing so, this is not a good approach because:
it's slow doing this via GUI
it's britle because selectors will likely change, and you have no control over Google email selectors, so you won't even know if they change them
A better approach wuld be to use a service like Mailosaur where you can create an account and receive emails that you can later query via an API. Instead of doing a whole e2e flow over GUI, you request an email on Mailosaur's API, and if such an email exists, you'll receive a response you can parse and check for various things.
I've done this in the past, you can see my post here: https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/40427/automating-verification-of-sent-email-sms-messages/45721#45721 It's exactly Mailosaur and Testcafe (plus it requires axios as a package), so it seems to be what you're looking for.
To add the same code here:
import config from '../config';
import { customAlphabet } from 'nanoid';
import axios from 'axios';
import Newsletter from '../Objects/newsletter';
async function request (reqObject) {
try {
return await axios(reqObject);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
function serverId () {
return process.env.MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID;
}
function mailosaurFullEmail (id) {
return (id ? id : nanoid()) + '.' + serverId()
+ '#' + config.mailosaurDomain;
}
fixture `Newsletter`
.page(baseUrl);
test
('Sign Up For Newsletter', async t => {
const id = (customAlphabet('1234567890', 10))();
await t
.typeText(Newsletter.newsEmailInput, mailosaurFullEmail(id))
.click(Newsletter.consent)
.click(Newsletter.sendButton);
let res = await request({
method: 'POST',
url: config.mailosaurUrlEmail + serverId(),
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic '
+ Buffer.from(process.env.MAILOSAUR_API_KEY)
.toString('base64'),
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
data: {
sentTo: mailosaurFullEmail(id)
}
});
await t
.expect(res.status).eql(200);
});
and it requires some config values:
{
"mailosaurUrlEmail": "https://mailosaur.com/api/messages/await?server=",
"mailosaurDomain": "mailosaur.io"
}
This is definitely much better, but it still has some limitations:
Mailosaur's API can still change, so it won't be exactly without any maintenance
it assumes that an email is sent immediately after a user action (newsletter in my case), but that might be far from reality in many situations such as when emails are sent to a queue where it can easily take several minutes to send an email
If you absolutely have to do it via Gmail, you will still be better off looking at their API that should allow you to search and query email messages as well.
There is an issue related to the Google login. You can try turning on the "Allow less secure apps" Google account setting to workaround this issue. Please note that this setting is available for the disabled 2-Step Verification.
I created a bot via webhook method of api telegram and It's okay and working.
but I want know how can delete any new_chat_participant messages before sending message by members.
You know that telegram don't send request to your hook url until have not any message with members !!!!!!!
I need just message_id for example when a member add an another to supper group.
Set /setprivacy to disable in #BotFather to receive the whole actions and messages from your group. (In order to delete these messages, the bot must has access to messages in the group, needs to be administrator).
When new member has been added to group, you will receive a json in your webhook something like this:
{ update_id: 123123123,
message:
{ message_id: 2599, // Pay attention to this message id
from: {
...
},
chat: {
id: -987372183 // This is your group's id
...
},
date: 1582378239,
new_chat_participant: { // Field when new member is added to group
}
...
}
Now you need to send a post request to Telegram to delete this message (action). The request is:
request.post("https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_BOT_TOKEN/deleteMessage?chat_id=GROUP_ID&message_id=MESSAGE_ID_RECEIVED", ... )
Hope this helps.
I have created custom telegram notification very similar to email notifications. The problem is that it works for hosts and most of the services but not for all of them.
I do not post the *.sh files in scripts folder as it works!
In constants.conf I have added the bot token:
const TelegramBotToken = "MyTelegramToken"
I wanted to manage telegram channels or chat ids in users file, so I have users/user-my-username.conf as below:
object User "my-username" {
import "generic-user"
display_name = "My Username"
groups = ["faxadmins"]
email = "my-username#domain.com"
vars.telegram_chat_id = "#my_channel"
}
In templates/templates.conf I have added the below code:
template Host "generic-host-domain" {
import "generic-host"
vars.notification.mail.groups = ["domainadmins"]
vars.notification["telegram"] = {
users = [ "my-username" ]
}
}
template Service "generic-service-fax" {
import "generic-service"
vars.notification["telegram"] = {
users = [ "my-username" ]
}
}
And in notifications I have:
template Notification "telegram-host-notification" {
command = "telegram-host-notification"
period = "24x7"
}
template Notification "telegram-service-notification" {
command = "telegram-service-notification"
period = "24x7"
}
apply Notification "telegram-notification" to Host {
import "telegram-host-notification"
user_groups = host.vars.notification.telegram.groups
users = host.vars.notification.telegram.users
assign where host.vars.notification.telegram
}
apply Notification "telegram-notification" to Service {
import "telegram-service-notification"
user_groups = host.vars.notification.telegram.groups
users = host.vars.notification.telegram.users
assign where host.vars.notification.telegram
}
This is all I have. As I have said before it works for some services and does not work for other services. I do not have any configuration in service or host files for telegram notification.
To test I use Icinga web2. Going to a specific service in a host and send custom notification. When I send a custom notification I check the log file to see if there is any error and it says completed:
[2017-01-01 11:48:38 +0000] information/Notification: Sending reminder 'Problem' notification 'host-***!serviceName!telegram-notification for user 'my-username'
[2017-01-01 11:48:38 +0000] information/Notification: Completed sending 'Problem' notification 'host-***!serviceName!telegram-notification' for checkable 'host-***!serviceName' and user 'my-username'.
I should note that email is sent as expected. There is just a problem in telegram notifications for 2 services out of 12.
Any idea what would be the culprit? What is the problem here? Does return of scripts (commands) affect this behaviour?
There is no Telegram config in any service whatsoever.
Some telegram commands may fail due to markdown parser.
I've encountered this problem:
If service name has one underscore ('_'), then parser will complain about not closed markdown tag and message will not be sent
My bot is working again! BUT
I have a script asking the user for his name.
So I went through all topics on stack and the repos in github but somehow it never clicked.
My question is How can I get the input from the user after he has entered something - based on the scripts request?
(Would it involve postback or do I need to let smooch listen for messages or or or?
Thanks for any help!

Using the smooch-bot library, in the receive callback of your script file, the second parameter is the user's message. You can use that message object to know what the user has said. You can see this in action in the smooch-bot-example repo:
askName: {
prompt: (bot) => bot.say('What\'s your name?'),
receive: (bot, message) => {
const name = message.text;
return bot.setProp('name', name)
.then(() => bot.say(`Great! I'll call you ${name} Is that OK? %[Yes](postback:yes) %[No](postback:no)`))
.then(() => 'finish');
}
}
You can use message.text, as in the example above, to get the reply to your question
