Janek's Computers

Nkrew

• current testing setup

Issues

• empty “from” field sometimes:
• if posting from a non-public group?

• won’t work for forwards
• we would have to add some persistence, which is a dispro amount of effort; but could be a good excercise for later
• sheets would be an options, but maybe too slow?
• alternatively supabase or mongodb serverless

• process of removing #b creates a double space
• it would be great if you could replace with nothing in integromat - instead it has to be a space or sth
• \s?#b\s? is theoretically a better regex solution to replace with space, but doesn’t reeally work

• it will currently break the scenario if you send a low q image
(because a low q image might only have 0,1,2 and not a 3)

• fix would be to either add error handling or to preprocess the json to see if it has 1/2/3
 

Log

• can’t get it to work with another group for testing
• already solved in the past, should take better notes
• for now used the ID of the group that the bot is already in (https://t.me/telebtest)
• turns out it was using the wrong tele connection (dalleanek and not telebroadcaster)
• there’s also a “group privacy” setting in Botfather

• don’t know how to forward a photo
• luckily already did that for dalleanek (media group)
• it ended up being 2 api calls based on [SO link]
• felt like there should be a better solution, but actually maybe not

• removing #b
• pretty good, see issues above

• fixing “from” field
• pretty good

ADR

• Integromat prototype

• try to estimate Integromat, useful for future projects

• Integromat is annoying as always, in particular problems with monitoring groups
• importantly, privacy off in BotFather, then re-add to group if it were already added

• considering Deno + deno or deno + fly.io, but not giving in yet - Integromat would be way faster

• Integromat/make.com worked
• make sure group perm enabled
• webhook is there, but just down the list (not its own category)
