Telegram bot update

For me, the general bot also was not working. Have to try it again once more since others seem to be using it without trouble.

Any plans of adding the option to send videos and images via the bot to remnote in future. That will definitely speed up my workflow.

I added the saving photos functionality few minutes ago :slight_smile:. But I think it is not possible to embed a video with the API’s current state (it has somewhat restricted functionality)… Only text or images. Waiting for the further API development :slight_smile:

@arunnbabu81 It is very unfortunate that you are facing those issues… Please see if you entered all the variables correctly, using the example_bot branch on a github as a reference. I fixed some chunks of code, but nothing seems to be related to your problem… Try at first the general version of the bot → it should work :slight_smile:
Let me know if the problem won’t be solved, will be more than happy to help!

Thanks for the reply. I will try it once i am free and will get back to you.

Oh, and I am not sure if sending audio is within the functionalities of the current API development state as well. As soon as API will evolve, extending it’s functionalities, I will add this feature right away!

Thanks Pavlo! I’ll try images. Audio, when the API will be ready would be very nice!

Pavlo, the images are working! But I’ve tried to send text to the daily document before creating the today document and the bot sent the text to the folder with today’s date tag. So, only the next time I could send text directly to the today’s document.

Oh, I see… I thought I solved this issue.
I will look into that right away.

Btw, it turned out that you can embed videos and audios via API. Therefore, you can now do this via telegram bot as well!
But for now, only sent audio files are supported… For videos, you can send either a link or a file. More information is in the README

That’s great! If I hold the audio button and send is still not working?

Working! That’s amazing! Remnote!

Pavlo, as a tested today again, the bot can’t create the daily document. If you need to add to it you have to create it manually in Remnote.

Found those 3 Telegram Bots so far. I’ll list them in no particular order. I do not know if all are still updated (please confirm).

  1. Telegram bot update (GitHub - pavlohrab/RemNote-bot: Small telegram bot to send notes into RemNote daily document.)

  2. Rembot Telegram Bot is the same as How to use the telegrambot for remnote (GitHub - dmrd/rembot: Run Telegram -> Remnote chatbot on now.sh)

  3. Rembot Telegram Bot (Paste.ee - View paste zoOte)

There’s also the Official RemNote Clipper Extension that may satisfy some uses, albeit you seem to be talking about something else.

I’m not a developer so all this goes in one ear and out the other, but hope this is helpful. :sweat_smile:

Unless the request is for RemNote to make an official bot or related to RemNote development in some way (e.g. API), it may be more useful to send your requests to the developer’s topic, rather than requesting updates to those bots in the Feature Request section for the RemNote App. They are probably paying more attention to their own topics when it comes to bot updates. :innocent: (albeit yes, would help to know which ones are maintained).

Is the general bot working for you. Mine is still not working. Can it be an account specific problem? Should I contact the remnote team by email to get help?

Mine works sometimes yes sometimes no.

I don’t think the remnote team has much to do with this unofficial bot working.

(I’ve been using the individual version for the last month without problems.)

I have tried at least 6 to 8 different times. Still-not able to use the general bot or the individual bot.

Looks like all the issues are with the general version.

@helado I have a VPS in Vultr. Is it easy to set the individual bot?

I had no experience with Telegram bots or Heroku, and found it easier than expected to set it up, both on Heroku and on my home PC. The only weird issue was that the bot.py file had some duplicated lines around line 270.

Thanks I’ll try here!

I’ve set the new individual bot, have successfully deployed the new app to Heroku. Have set the bot.py as instructed but my bot isn’t getting any response…
Don’t know what’s wrong.
