Email question:

I am using your PoshGram package from GitHub for sending messages from a few desktop PCs on a schedule to my telegram account. I am trying to add Emojis to the messages to help differentiate them, but I cannot seem to get Emojis inline with text (or even by themselves) - I can only get stickers to send.

I think I'm doing something silly, and was wondering if you'd be able to assist me?

Expected Behavior

When DisableNotification parameter is provided to Send-TelegramSticker it should not notify the receiver.

Current Behavior

A notification is being sent when a sticker is sent regardless if the DisableNotification is specified.

Steps to Reproduce

Send-TelegramSticker `
                    -BotToken $token `
                    -ChatID $channel `
                    -StickerSetName STPicard `
                    -Shortcode ':slightly_smiling_face:' `
                    -DisableNotification

2. Check if notification is recieved

Context (Environment)

All versions

Detailed Description

When the DisableNotification is provided Send-TelegramSticker should not notify the receiving party.

Description

Bot API 4.6 introduced Polls v2.0

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for new Polls v2.0 options.

sendPoll

Use this method to send a native poll. A native poll can't be sent to a private chat. On success, the sent Message is returned.

I’m looking to implement PoshBot, but we would like to use Telegram as the chat platform backend. How difficult would it be to make PoshBot work with Telegram using PshGram?

Anyhow, as I’m really impressed with PoshGram from your video on youtube!

Grts,

In many functions parameters such as DisableNotification have been set to bool. It would be more interesting and standardized if they were set to Switch.

Thanks

Describe the solution you'd like

There is no built-in method to retrieve Chat Id from a telegram bot. It would be useful to have it as a CmdLet.

Could be added to the Test-BotToken or created as a separate CmdLet.

Hello!
When I try to send a file with cyrillic characters in name to telegram

$botToken = "xxxx"
$chat = "xxxx"
$file = "C:\абв г.txt"
$sendTelegramLocalDocumentSplat = @{
    BotToken            = $botToken
    ChatID              = $chat
    File                = $file
    Caption             = "Check out this file"
    ParseMode           = 'MarkdownV2'
    DisableNotification = $true
    Verbose             = $true
}
Send-TelegramLocalDocument @sendTelegramLocalDocumentSplat

I get the file with this name

= utf-8 B 0LDQsdCyINCzLnR4dA== =

There are no such problems with names in English or numbers.

sendSticker

Use this method to send static .WEBP or animated .TGS stickers. On success, the sent Message is returned.

getStickerSet

Use this method to get a sticker set. On success, a StickerSet object is returned.

Haven't determined a way to properly mock Invoke-WebRequest exceptions yet - which this function depends on. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

sendContact

Use this method to send phone contacts. On success, the sent Message is returned.

Expected Behavior

the script should instruct my telegram bot to send me a notification when the remaining free space on the drive that i specify is below 70%.

Current Behavior

However the bot always sends this notification, even if there is more than 70% left. Also, it does not specify the actual percentage of free space. I cannot understand where the problem comes from because i checked the $percentFree variables and they all match in the code.

I am learning powershell and scripting so i probably messed up somewhere.

Detailed Description

the telegram notification the bot sends me does not show the % of free space on the specified Drive.

driveCheck.log

Hi, I am new to bot coding. I am using this module and it works great when I send text message.
But I am not able to understand how to frame complex url like keyboard buttons, inline button , async methods...

Can someone provide code snippets on how to achieve this? Please.

sendVenue

Use this method to send information about a venue. On success, the sent Message is returned.

Description

Bot API 4.5 introduced a new parse mode MarkdownV2.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for MarkdownV2 to PoshGram.

Additional context

During this change I am thinking about changing the default parse mode for all telegram message and captions to HTML.

This is primarily due to how the default of Markdown currently doesn't handle underscores, asterisks, and other symbols without escaping.

The majority of bot type messaging is likely preferred to default to HTML type formatting.

I will leave this issue open for a bit so others can share thoughts on that change prior to implementation.

I hope to see editMessageText API support in the future

Quick start section of README is missing comments on a few examples

I recognized an issue with UTF-8 characters in the messages
As example in the function Send-TelegramTextMessage

Send-TelegramTextMessage -BotToken $Alarm_Token -ChatID $Alarm_Chatids -Message "Testmessage UTF8 Hallö" -verbose

VERBOSE: Sending message...
VERBOSE: POST https://api.telegram.org/bot{Token}/sendMessage with 141-byte payload
VERBOSE: received 88-byte response of content type application/json
WARNING: An error was encountered sending the Telegram message:
Send-TelegramTextMessage : {"ok":false,"error_code":400,"description":"Bad Request: text must be encoded in UTF-8"}

According to my analysis it can be fixed as follows, to convert the Body to UTF-8
(all functions with text messages)
Current code:
try {
Write-Verbose -Message "Sending message..."
$results = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri ("https://api.telegram.org/bot{0}/sendMessage" -f $BotToken)
-Method Post -ContentType "application/json"
-Body (ConvertTo-Json -Compress -InputObject $payload) `
-ErrorAction Stop
}#try_messageSend

Fixed code:
try {
Write-Verbose -Message "Sending message..."
$results = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri ("https://api.telegram.org/bot{0}/sendMessage" -f $BotToken)
-Method Post -ContentType "application/json"
-Body ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes((ConvertTo-Json -Compress -InputObject $payload))) `
-ErrorAction Stop
}#try_messageSend

There is an issue with the function "Send-TelegramPoll". (PoshGram/src/PoshGram/Public/Send-TelegramPoll.ps1)
Line 238 has the wrong if statement.

Expected Behavior

($null -eq $QuizAnswer -or $QuizAnswer -lt 0 -or $QuizAnswer -gt 10)
Poll answers are starting from 0. Telegram API > Poll

Current Behavior

($null -eq $QuizAnswer -or $QuizAnswer -lt 1 -or $QuizAnswer -gt 10)

Possible Solution

To change 1 to 0.

Steps to Reproduce

1. To send a telegram poll where the answer is the first option. (Which means $QuizAnswer = 0)
