Messages

Messages can be sent to a Telegram chat using a TelegraphChat model

use DefStudio\Telegraph\Models\TelegraphChat;

$chat = TelegraphChat::find(44);

// this will use the default parsing method set in config/telegraph.php
$chat->message('hello')->send();

$chat->html("<b>hello</b>\n\nI'm a bot!")->send();

$chat->markdown('*hello*')->send();

Options

Telegraph allows sending complex messages by setting some options:

edit

Updates an existing message instead of sending a new one

$chat->edit(123456)->message("new text")->send();

reply

The message can be sent as a reply by setting the original message ID

$chat->message("ok!")->reply(123456)->send();

forceReply

Forces the user to reply to the message. For more information see the official api documentation

$chat->message("ok!")->forceReply(placeholder: 'Enter your reply...')->send();

forwardMessage

Use this method to forward messages of any kind.

$chat->forwardMessage($fromChat,$messageId)->send();

copyMessage

Use this method to copy messages of any kind. The method is analogous to the method forwardMessage, but the copied message doesn't have a link to the original message.

$chat->copyMessage($fromChat,$messageId)->send();

protected

Protects message contents from forwarding and saving

$chat->message("please don't share this")->protected()->send();

silent

Sends the message silently. Users will receive a notification with no sound.

$chat->message("late night message")->silent()->send();

withoutPreview

Disables link previews for links in this message

$chat->message("http://my-blog.dev")->withoutPreview()->send();

Deletions

Delete a message

The ->deleteMessage() Telegraph method allows to remove a message from a chat/group/channel.

Warning

A message can be deleted if it was sent less than 48h ago and if it was sent by the bot or if the bot has permission to delete other users' messages.

Delete multiple messages

The ->deleteMessages() Telegraph method allows to delete multiple messages from a chat/group/channel simultaneously. If some of the specified messages can't be found, they are skipped. Identifiers of 1-100 messages to delete.
