I created an inline bot, that works great: if I type #BOT_NAME 1234, it posts an inline result from the bot.
Now I wish that bot could post that result by itself.
But when I call sendMessage #BOT_NAME 1234, the message from the bot is just the text #BOT_NAME 1234. If I retype the same text as a telegram user, the inline is working again.
Please see my image to this:
What parameter do I miss, or is it couldn't be done at all?

These messages are called Interactive Messages and according to Meta's docs "users cannot select more than one option at the same time from a list or button message, but they can go back and re-open a previous message."
Please have a look at the Twilio Doc to see which message types are currently supported.
Thanks for reaching this feed.
I would like to request the method/example/API doc for the popup "Spin Wheel" (see below image) in the Telegram doc.
I have tried a couple of keywords e.g. telegram bot custom popup, but still no luck..
Thanks for your time!

I think now you can do similar custom controlls with telegram web apps feature:

I have to use whatsapp's click to chat feature for automating the process of sending messages to unsaved numbers. I am currently using selenium to automate the process. I am able to send text messages only for now. I was wondering that it might be possible to send other media files as well like images and videos.
There are 2 unused parameters in my url of click to chat feature, "source" and "data". I thought using these might enable me to send media files but I Haven't been able to do it yet.
Example URL for one of my click to chat messages:
https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone=phoneNumHere&text=Hi&source=&data=
Can anyone confirm that either its possible or not. If its possible what would be the right way to do it?
Thanks

Send images, videos and docs using Selenium:
//To send attachments
//click to add
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='clip']")).click();
//add file path
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='file']")).sendKeys("FilePath");
//click to send
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='send-light']")).click();
I know it's too late, I just have to add that Whatsapp Web and Whatsapp Desktop accept paste inputs, thus if you can get your picture to the memory (I did it with VB.net took 5 mins to accomplish after a bit of googling) you can just send a paste order and it'll load it in and require and ENTER send key from you.
Part1: Sending messages to unsaved contacts
Sending media to unsaved numbers is quite a difficult task but not impossible. You can surely find XPath by text.
Part2: Yes media can be sent to contacts. I have done that in my project link : https://github.com/shauryauppal/PyWhatsapp. By using PyAutoIt you can send Pictures, PDF, Videos to the selected contacts.
Since uploading part is not the automation of web browser we auto windows using AutoIt and select the path of image/video/file to send to the user.
autoit.control_focus("Open","Edit1")
autoit.control_set_text("Open","Edit1",(PATH_OF_IMAGE_TO_SEND) )
autoit.control_click("Open","Button1")
This is just the crux of the implementation. Do refer my repo in case of more understanding.
PS: Don't forget to star repo or give credits.
Check answer Link for more info, where to download AutoIt from.
Coding Working Fine.
//To send attachments
//click to add
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='clip']")).click();
//add file to send by file path
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='file']")).sendKeys("FilePath");
//click to send
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='send-light']")).click();
I was having the same issue but right after fixing it, I made a python wrapper so that it helps more people having the same issue.
In case you're interested to explore more about the wrapper, here is a link
https://github.com/Kalebu/alright
Here is how to send a message to media files and message to unsaved contacts
>>> from alright import WhatsApp
>>> messenger = WhatsApp()
>>> messenger.find_user('255-74848xxxx')
>>> messenger.send_message("I wish you a Merry X-mass and Happy new year ")
>>> messenger.send_picture('path-to-image',"Text to accompany image")
Sending to Multiple unsaved contacts
>>> numbers = ['2557xxxxxx', '2557xxxxxx', '....']
>>> for number in numbers:
messenger.find_user(number)
messenger.send_message("I wish you a Merry X-mass and Happy new year "
I've created a messenger bot, and some action that I perform can take some time. So in order to make the user wait I would like to display the "Indicator Bubble" (the one you see when the people you talk with are typing):
Typing bubble
It is not defined in the Messenger API documentation how to do it, but it seems possible has they perform it when you hit "callBack" on their card.
How can I simulate this?
It's now available into the messenger bot API via the Sender Action. You can find the documentation here.
It's just a post with an on or off value to display / hide the bubble indicator.
{
"recipient":{
"id":"USER_ID"
},
"sender_action":"typing_on" // typing_off
}
The official messenger API does not support this feature for now. Even if #hiponcho – one of the featured by Facebook chatbot is actually using it.
A workaround would be to use the unofficial messenger API, which has a method called sendTypingIndicator that does exactly what you want. But be careful, you can be banned for using of non-official API.
api.sendTypingIndicator(threadID, [callback])
Yes, it is the only way.
When you have the Button Template and someone clicks on "button" for "postback" (documentation in section "button template").
Then during your parsing of the message and sending answer, it is shown like "writing".
I know it is a hack, but currently I send the "Typing Bubble Indicator" as a animated gif as my first reply, if I anticipate a waiting time (like an API call). At the user end, you can't tell the difference.
I'm building a telegram bot. When i try to send audio using the sendAudio method it sends like a downloadable file instead of music(playing in audio player etc.).
Example of what i send:
{"title":"Blabla","performer":"Blabla","audio":"SOME_FILE_ID"}
If I don't send title and performer it sends like a voice record.
If I send title and performer it sends like a document.
But I need to send it like a music.
