Logic Flow Diagram
This is how the the Bot should work.
Create a new Scenario
On main page choose Create a new scenario
Choose services to intergrate.
In this case we'll choose:
Telegram Bot: trigger and send message
HTTP: get information on nCoV
Google Sheets: record message logs
Set up the Scenario
Step 1, select Telegram Bot, choose Watch Updates module
This will trigger the whole scenario when a message calls for the bot in Telegram.
Step 2, link the module with the Bot that created in Telegram.
Using Webhook, link the two with the Bot's Token that given. Select Add, to add the Webhook
Select Add to add connection to the Bot.
Insert the Token, then Continue
Step 3, Connect to a second module, Make a Request from HTTP.
This module helps us getting information on nCoV on websites using API.
In this case, we'll use the API on website theVirusTracker.com. The API from the website provide us the GET method.
For example, using URL https://api.thevirustracker.com/free-api?global=stats to get information on the virus all over the word.
Step 4, Copy and Paste https://api.thevirustracker.com/free-api? to the URL box.
Step 5, On Query String box, select Add parameter.
That's equivalent to the URL above.
Step 6, Choose Parse response, select OK.
Step 7, Create module Send a Text Message or a Reply.
This will send the message including the information required.
Step 8, Select the connection to the Bot.
Step 9, Enter Chat ID, this is where the Bot will send the message
Step 10, Type what you want the Bot to return.
Remember to run the HTTP module before to see what result of data you're getting.
Step 11, Press Run Once. The message will return the values we want Telegram
Step 12, From Google Sheets, choose Add a Row module.
Choose connection to your Google account, in which you have your Google Sheets.
Step 13, select the Spreadsheet and the values to save in columns. Press OK.
Every message logs will be recorded to the Spreadsheet.
Step 14, Click Save.
Step 15, Set Scheduling for the Scenario. Choose Immediately for all the time the Bot is triggered.
Step 16, Use Router module, this will help in seperate cases to process.
To return a text when a command isn't right, add a path to another Telegram Bot. Add the module between the first Telegram Bot and the HTTP module.
Also select Send a Text Message or a Reply to send a message for the person who triggers the command that is wrong.
Step 17, Setup this module like as Step 7.
For example, this will return the message if the type doesn't start with slash(/).
Step 18, Setup Filter for the path after the Router
The filters must be created for different paths of each module after the Router
That's the end of the Basic Steps. Have fun discovering more.
This is the basic Scenario.
After developing, this is a more completed version.
