Overview
Create a bot with @BotFather and use that token only here. Truest polls Telegram getUpdates and indexes messages from groups and channels the bot is in. Do not reuse another bot’s token — Telegram allows only one getUpdates client. Truest does not send Telegram messages from this connector.
Features
Truest understands and retrieves
- Group and channel messages the bot can read
- Chat administrators as the permission bar
- Sender and timestamps
Truest can do
- Connect with a BotFather token used only by Truest
- Add the bot to each group or channel to index
- Sync to import waiting updates
Benefits
Ops decisions in Telegram sit next to mail, still only visible to people who belong to that chat.
