I want to write a bot with a program that forwards every single new message of a public channel to me.
For example, channel "A" posts a new message (this message can be varied on its types), and then my bot should immediately forward this new message to me.
I really appreciate it if you can comment any code sample for this issue.
Pyrogram's Documentation has several examples. You can use the Echobot example and adapt it to watch for a specific chat and use the bound method .forward() instead.
https://docs.pyrogram.org/start/examples/echobot
On another note; Bots can only exist as Admin in a channel. You'd have to ask the admins of the channel to add your bot as an admin, or you'll have to use a userbot. The Code itself will be the same in both cases, with the exception of the added bot token in your code/config.

I want to schedule a telegram bot message to be sent at a specific unixtime.
As from telegrams official api (https://core.telegram.org/api/scheduled-messages) that should be possible by setting the schedule_date flag.
To schedule a message, simply provide a future unixtime in the schedule_date flag of messages.sendMessage or messages.sendMedia.
However I was not able to set that flag. To be more precisely, I do not even know how to set a flag, or if I am using the correct api.
What I have tried is to use the api directly via the browser (could use curl as well) like so: https://api.telegram.org/botBOT:TOKEN/sendMessage?chat_id=ID&text=Test&schedule_date=1653503351
I also did not find any way to access this flag via https://pypi.org/project/pyTelegramBotAPI/#description https://telepot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#send-a-message, nor https://github.com/nickoala/telepot.
I want to implement this feature in a python environment, but any working suggestion would be much appreciated.
EDIT:
I decided to save the intention to send a telegram bot message at a certain unixtime in a database. I then create an infinite loop that checks if there are any unsent messages before the current timestamp. If the loop detects such a message it sends the message and sets a flag, that that message has been sent.
And as promised, here is a fully dockerized example of that behaviour in action: https://github.com/Sokrates1989/nameTheCountDown-lightweight
It creates a bot that you can pass a name and the duration. Once the duration has passed it sends a message with the passed name. Basically a simple countdown that you can give several names, that run simltaniously. As it is a telegram chat, you can modify the way you are informed about the end of a countdown by modifying the notificaiton of that chat.
And here is the Bot in action: http://t.me/NameTheCountdownBot
We can't do this by bot API itself, and there's no schedule_date parameter in sendMessage method:
https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage
And what you've read is for Telegram clients, not bot API consumers.
If you don't really need unixtime, you can simply create a table for scheduled messages with a text, chat_id and a publish_time column (like 22:15), and run a command every minute to look if there's a message for current time to send. Then send the message and delete the record.
Note that the python-telegram-bot library has a built-in solution for scheduling tasks: The JobQueue. This feature is based on the APScheduler library, which you can ofc also use without python-telegram-bot.
Disclaimer: I'm currently the maintainer of python-telegram-bot.

Now you can send scheduled messages right away
I have a nextjs project and I integrated twilio programmable chat. It basically works. Next step is to add notifications and I have very big problems due to the not updated or lack of doc. I tried this guide for web push notifications but I gave it up because after the step7 I don't know what to do and can't find anything about it.
What I want to do now is to get the status of the messages and eventually update them once I read them. First of all is it possible to do it? I don't find anything about twilio web notifications on the internet.
For example if I want to get the messages of a specific room I do as follows:
const response = await getTwilioClient(token, unique_room_name);
const messages = await response.channel.getMessages(MESSAGES_LIMIT);
messages has the following shape:
{
hasNextPage: boolean,
hasPrevPage: boolean,
items: Message[],
nextPage: () => Message[],
prevPage: () => Message[],
}
And Message looks like this:
So how can I see the status of a message?
Message read status is actually stored on the Member object. A Member is the object that represents a User in a Channel and it has a lastConsumedMessageIndex property which relates to the last message they read.
In order to read the lastConsumedMessageIndex property, you need to set where the member has read up to, using the Channel methods advanceLastConsumedMessageIndex, setAllMessagesConsumed or setNoMessagesConsumed.
I recommend you read the documentation on the Message Consumption Horizon and Read Status.
As an extra note, I see you're asking questions about Twilio Chat, however Twilio Chat will be coming to the end of life in July 2022. We recommend that you migrate to the Twilio Conversations API instead.
Is it possible to restore a 1:1 conversation?
The Conversation object in the Skype SDK seems to have such functionality. You should be able to restore a conversation by passing a href to it. But when I pass a href string as parameter to createConversation it throws the following error:
Error: ResourceNotFound
at Error (native)
at Exception (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:3346:31)
at UCWA.get (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:15141:31)
at init (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:40672:50)
at new Conversation (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:41826:25)
at createConversationModel (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:41963:36)
at BaseModel.createConversation (http://.../SkypeSDK.js:42037:48)
The lines can be a little bit off. I modified the createConveration method to pass the href to Conversation.
The href string has this format:
/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/xxxxxxxxxxxx/communication/conversations/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
We have the following situation:
One site has the normal SDK and waits for incoming calls. If you accept the call you should be redirected to a site with the SDK+CC and answer the call. Now we are stuck at how to pass the call. We also tried with it getConversation, but it doesn't return the last incoming conversation.
Once you accept a call on one endpoint you can transfer it to another endpoint. However you cannot accept a call and then re-answer it on a different endpoint. Also, answering the call starts the process of connecting media so that endpoint has effectively picked up the call.
The href of each conversation is unique per application, and in your scenario you will have one for each site. These cannot be shared between applications.
I am trying to implement a very basic Telegram client. I would like to know how can I get the info that tells me the other user is typing.
I know how to send this information: By using the setTyping method.
Now how can I receive it? There is no getTyping mehtod, and the API description is quite confusing.
upon "writing status" change, your app will receive an update of the type updateUserTyping. From there you can get the information.
Hope it helps
If my email id receives an email from a particular sender, can I ask sendmail to trigger a different program and pass on the newly arrived email to it for further processing? This is similar to filters in gmail. Wait for some email to arrive, see if it matches the criteria and take some action if it does.
This is what Procmail is for.
Set Sendmail up to use procmail as the mail delivery agent (MDA), or set up your .forward to pipe stuff through procmail. (See the man page.)
Then you can write your .procmailrc to do all sorts of things along these lines.
This filter predates gmail. Still useful if you're running a mail server.
are you talking about email clients? If so then you can set rules in outlook and I am sure there mustbe ways in other email cleints too!! If u are asking something else. sorry
ok. then I suggest Colins method.. I use cron to monitor emails (for a particluar domain) and send text messages as alerts!. Similar to what you are asking!
We handle this by having a cron process running on the mail server which watches the inbox directory and scans any new messages (files) every 10 minutes or so.
When the process finds an email of interest, it fires the information off to another process which then reacts to the new message (and, in our case, removes the message from the inbox).
--edit--
Finding the email inbox depends on your implementation - check the 'manual' your version of sendmail for details - we direct incoming email to a special directory or have parameters to work out the inbox details. I don't feel it would be useful to be more specific as the answer to 'where is the inbox' is 'it depends'.
As for the pattern to search for - we decode the email message (a text file) into a DOM that we can manipulate. For example, we can then look for specific words in property 'subject'.
