      if (!message?.text) {
        console.log("Skipping message that isn’t a bot command");

        return;
      }

      const command = message.text.split(" ")[0];

      if (typeof this.commands === "string") {
        this.commands = JSON.parse(this.commands);
      }

      const foundCmd = this.commands.some((cmd) => command.includes(cmd));

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Telegram Bot	`telegramBotApi`	`app`	This component uses the Telegram Bot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Commands	`commands`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Telegram Bot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Telegram Bot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Telegram Bot APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To use the Telegram Bot API, you must first create a new bot by chatting with the BotFather.

After you create your bot, copy the bot token and add it below.
