AHK Telegram MsgBox (Telegram_MsgBox)

25 Nov 2016, 04:33

Hi there
I was tired of sending me alerts via mail so I created a function to send me messages via telegram.
Telegram is a messenger like WhatsApp, but it has a API through you can send messages directly to your telegram and so to your phone.
Here is the code with two functions. One is the main function (Telegram_MsgBox) to send messages to telegram the other is just for the first setup. (an easy click-through to get the Bot Token and the Chat ID)

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

RandomVariable = sting with variable: %A_OSType%

Telegram_MsgBox(16,1,"string") 						;icon before text
Telegram_MsgBox(32,2,RandomVariable) 				;icon after text
Telegram_MsgBox("%F0%9F%8E%88",2,RandomVariable) 	;own icon
Telegram_MsgBox(0,a,"string with space")			;no icon	

Telegram_MsgBox(Option,EmojiPosition,Text)
{
	TelegramBotToken = 
	TelegramBotChatID = 
	
	if TelegramBotChatID =
		Telegram_FirstCFG()
	if TelegramBotChatID =
		Telegram_FirstCFG()
	
	if Option=16
		TelegramIconString := "%E2%9D%8C"
	if Option=32
		TelegramIconString := "%E2%9D%94"
	if Option=48
		TelegramIconString := "%E2%9A%A0%EF%B8%8F"
	if Option=64
		TelegramIconString := "%E2%84%B9%EF%B8%8F"
	
	IfInString, Option, `%
		TelegramIconString := Option

	IfLessOrEqual, EmojiPosition, 1
		Text = %TelegramIconString% %Text%
	
	IfGreaterOrEqual, EmojiPosition, 2
		Text = %Text% %TelegramIconString%
		
	loop 3
	{
		UrlDownloadToFile https://api.telegram.org/bot%TelegramBotToken%/sendmessage?chat_id=%TelegramBotChatID%&text=%Text%, %A_ScriptDir%\check.rups
		sleep 1000
		ifexist %A_ScriptDir%\check.rups
		{
			break
		}
		if A_index = 3
		{
			MsgBox, 16,, something went wrong with sending
		}
	}
	filedelete %A_ScriptDir%\check.rups
}

Telegram_FirstCFG()
{
	msgbox open telegram and open a new Chat with @botfater`nif yout dont know how you do that, search in your default serach engine for "Telegram Botfather first bot"`n`nyou need to choose a unique name (you cant change it)
	loop
	{
		InputBox, BotToken, enter the in telegram indicated bot token, 
		MsgBox, 4, , Bot Token correct?:`n%BotToken%
			IfMsgBox Yes
				break
	}
	
	Random, SecurityCode, 1000, 9999
	msgbox now open a new chat with your new created bot (search for @*yourbotname* and start a new chat) and enter this number %SecurityCode% and send it via telegram`n press OK, when done.
	UrlDownloadToFile https://api.telegram.org/bot%BotToken%/getupdates , %A_ScriptDir%\findChatID.txt
	sleep 2000
	run %A_ScriptDir%\findChatID.txt
	msgbox now search for the number %SecurityCode% and on the same line there should be something like: "chat":{"id":782163891`n`nfound it? press ok
	InputBox ChatID, enter the number after "chat":{"id": here:
	FileAppend, Telegram Bot Token = %BotToken%`n, %A_ScriptDir%\TokenAndID.txt
	FileAppend, Telegram Chat ID = %ChatID%, %A_ScriptDir%\TokenAndID.txt
	run %A_ScriptDir%\TokenAndID.txt
	msgbox here you go. copy and past the values to the variables TelegramBotToken & TelegramChatID in the sourcecode.`n`n(you can delte all the .txt files)
	exitapp
}
I orientated the Telegram_MsgBox function on the AHK MsgBox function. But just in point of icons ;)
Telegram_MsgBox(Option, EmojiPosition, Text)

EmojiPositon

Hope you like this funcion and that it will help you. Here are some ideas for what telegram and ahk can be used:

I think telegram has a big potential and maybe sometime in the future we will have a lot of Telegram function. Because Telegram can do sooo much more :)
Sorry for my bad English.

nice code... spur thx :clap:

looking for a solution to send german letters in specified telegram-Messages so I decided to use StringReplace:

Code: Select all

StringReplace, text, text, ä,       `%C3`%A4    , All
StringReplace, text, text, ö,       `%C3`%B6    , All
StringReplace, text, text, ü,       `%C3`%BC    , All
StringReplace, text, text, Ä,       `%C3`%84    , All
StringReplace, text, text, Ö,       `%C3`%96    , All
StringReplace, text, text, Ü,       `%C3`%9C    , All
StringReplace, text, text, Space,   `%20        , All
StringReplace, text, text, ß,       `%C3`%9F    , All
StringReplace, text, text, °,       `%C2`%B0    , All
The variable %text% contents the basic text-string (with german letters) and afterwards the converted code for Telegram ... hope someone could do with it :dance:

happy coding... moefr01

mustang, use this as own ico:

Telegram_MsgBox("%F0%9F%A4%BE",2,RandomVariable)

You can see the working html-code on your browser's statusline by pointing your mouse over the unicode U+1F93E at line Codepoints of your emojipedia.org site.
8-) other Emojis work too... give them a try!

Append the following line into the StringReplace-block of my suggestion regarding german Umlauts (see above):

Code: Select all

StringReplace, Infotext, Infotext, &, `%26, All
should work for any ampersand in your string. :wtf:

Hi @all
Thanks for the positive feedback and I am glad to hear one or another could find a use for it.

Yes there is a way to send photos and videos (and use all other Telegram methods https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available).
You can do that with cURL.

Code: Select all

Telegram_Token = XXX_Token
Telegram_ChatID = XXX_ChatID
path = %Folder%\%File%
runwait, curl -X POST https://api.telegram.org/%Telegram_Token%/sendPhoto -F chat_id=%Telegram_ChatID% -F photo="@%path%", , Hide
Works for me on Windows 10 1803

Hope that helps.

regards Spur

Edit: Thanks @gregster for pointing out the mistake. :thumbup: I corrected the code.

It is also possible without cUrl, but you will have to create multipart/form-data from an image. I can post an example later this weekend.
On Win10 (with cURL already included), cUrl is probably easier to use - but I haven't tried it yet for this purpose.

But is this correct? Doesn't have the API command sendPhoto a photo parameter and not a video parameter (which you would find with the command SendVideo?!)

Would love to see an example. Looking forward to see that.

Thanks "Spur" for sharing this great script. Can you help me with one last question?
I am trying to send messages with "line break" and the "API" does not recognize. Did you get something like that?


CODE:
Words=here is my text`n\and this is a new line`nanother new line

Hey, snowmind, you can do it like this:

Code: Select all

text := "Let's have a%0Alinebreak."     ; url encoding:  %0A = newline
There are a number of other signs that you need to replace, like 'plus': %2b = plus sign (+)

@spur: it was too hot this weekend 8-) - I will dig it up tomorrow.

You are welcome :) . You can just look for url encoding or percent encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding.
