Discord ↔️ Telegram Bridge

If you want to run it on heroku, you can just click the button below.

• Clone the GitHub repo

• Execute npm install

• Create a Discord webhook. You can do this by going to Server settings -> Webhooks. Copy the URL, you'll need it later.

• Set env variables:

  • TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN - you can get this by speaking with @BotFather on telegram and creating a new bot.
  • DISCORD_TOKEN - the bot token for your Discord application. Create a new app at the Discord Developer Portal, go to the bot section, click on Create a bot and copy the bot token it gives to you.
  • TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID - The chat ID of the telegram group you want to bridge (even if public, don't use the chat's username)
  • DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID - The Discord ChannelId of the channel you want to bridge
  • DISCORD_WEBHOOK_ID and DISCORD_WEBHOOK_TOKEN. Those are part of the webhook URL you copied. DISCORD_WEBHOOK_ID is a 18 characters long int, DISCORD_WEBHOOK_TOKEN is a ~70 chars long randomly generated string. Those are seperated by slashes in the url.
  • If you use Heroku, set HEROKU_DYNO_URL to make the dyno not timeout. You can find your dyno's URL in Heroku dashboard -> Open app
  • If you need to forward Discord Bot messages -> Telegram set DISCORD_FORWARD_BOT to true (will cause duplicate messages in bridges that forward in both directions)

• Run npm start or node server.js and you're set!
