To create a Telegram bot using BuildShip that sends responses directly to the user who asked the question, you can use the chat ID provided by the incoming message payload. This way, the bot dynamically responds to the user who initiated the interaction.
Here’s a general approach:
1. Set up the Telegram Bot Trigger: Use the Telegram Bot Trigger node to listen for incoming messages. This node will capture the chat ID from the incoming message.
2. Pass the Chat ID: Extract the chat ID from the incoming message payload. This chat ID will be used to send the response back to the user.
3. Generate a Response: Use the AI Assistant node (like OpenAI Assistant) to generate a response based on the user's question.
4. Send the Response: Use the Telegram Send Message node to send the response back to the user using the extracted chat ID.
For detailed steps on setting up and configuring the nodes, you can refer to the BuildShip documentation. Unfortunately, I don't have a specific link for Telegram bot setup, but you can follow the general principles outlined in the AI Assistant Builder Guide:
