I need send multiple entries from my bot to user.
This is solved by repeatedly calling the sendMessage method? Or specific method exist for this?
You have to call API repeatedly, it doesn't support multiple requests in an HTTP request at this time. :(
BTW, you can make a suggestion to #BotSupport.

Is there any way to configure Google Chat so It will automatically reply when another user sends me a message? Similar to the way vacation reply works for GMAIL.
The trigger will be the message coming from a user. not calling any bot.
Sorry, unfortunately there is no way to do that
You can set your status as "Out of Office" and that will be reflected in chat.

The API is designed for bots so there is no way via API either.
You can always make a feature request, if you like.
I created a new Telegram Bot which maintains a simple list. When I chat with the Bot directly (in PMs) the Bot works as intended.
I created this bot for a group of friends, so I added the bot to the group, and now, whenever I execute a command, the bot responds, but also repeats my command. Is there any way to avoid this behavior?
I am using the python-telegram-bot API and sending messages using update.message.reply_text('My message')
Is this just intended behavior or is there any way to avoid the bot repeating the sent command?
The bot only is replying message, not creating 2 messages.
You should use send_message.
I found the solution. Telegram API understands this as quoting, and is enabled in groups by default, disabled in private chats.
It can be disabled by using:
update.message.reply_text("message", quote=False)
There are some steps that have been mentioned in telegram api for creating a bot using a botfather.
I was hoping if there is a way that these steps can turn into code.
to be specific, I want to get a token from botfather using code, and then later in the code, I use this token.
Yes this is very possible.
You would however need to build a Telegram Client, that will interact with BotFather.
The interaction should be easy to script, as BotFather interaction follows just a few simple steps
We can get Telegram messages when they are complete and sent via long polling or webhooks, but is there a way to understand when the user has started typing?
I guess this is not a normal case for bots and I dont think there is a straight away method but could we fall back on the Telegram API for messaging apps for that?
Well, actually I found a solution in the current Bot API; inline queries. While they are not intended for this, inline queries send what the user types in to the bot in real-time, so you are alerted as soon as the first characters are typed in.
There is a way in Telegram Core API, named: updateUserTyping.
But there is not any way in Telegram Bot API yet (until today: 2016-10-17).
If you type or send a file to the bot during these processes you do not get any message from Telegram in your webhook, but it's possible they'll add a new feature to detect user typing in future Bot API updates.
I'm developing a Telegram bot, and I want to know whether a user, that has started a private chat with my bot, has seen a certain message sent by bot, and to know when has he seen it.
Is it possible to do so?
Thank you very much.
That's currently not possible.
I'm using this solution.
Create a channel specially for your bot
Let your robot send message from this channel to users, you can use forward method.
Now you can see how many users have seen your message
Telegram Bot API has limit functionality. There is absolutely no way to get message view count at the time of this comment.
Usually TDLib can be used instead of Telegram Bot. It is Telegram client library. You can use it directly or make it as services for BOT to call.
For example. use TdApi.GetMessage to get the message, and the returned message has field of interactionInfo which contains forwardCount or viewCount.
perhaps this answer help you :
in the end of your message place
link example : yoursite.com\checkvisit.php?id=1234
when user open message link automatic run for telegram ...
you can understand message was read
you must in checkvisit.php set to check db if id exist and not read set it to read
then id in db remove or disable
but this method simple - telegram must add 1 parameter to return this
sorry my english not good
it is not possible yet , you might want to search for Madeline bot
