Use the Telegram bot when a human operator wants mobile access to SimpleFunctions alerts, slash commands, and natural-language follow-up.

​
Start

sf telegram --token YOUR_BOTFATHER_TOKEN --daemon
Restrict the bot to one chat: 
sf telegram --token YOUR_BOTFATHER_TOKEN --chat-id 123456789 --daemon
Use environment variables instead of flags: 
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=YOUR_BOTFATHER_TOKEN
sf telegram --chat-id 123456789 --daemon

​
Operate

sf telegram --status
sf telegram --stop

​
Use with runtime
