Deploying a telegram bot using Cloud functions

  • Deploying a telegram bot using Cloud functions is a much simpler process than the previous 2 deployments.
  • To start with, go to the Cloud Functions page and click on the Create Function button. cloud-build-home
  • In the next page, set the Environment to 1rst gen and set the Function Name. Allow the Allow unauthenticated invocations option, set the Trigger to HTTP and set the Environment variables and Build variables. cloud-build-new
  • Now, click on the Create button. In the next page, set the Runtime to Node.js 14 and set the Entry point as the function name which is exported. Set the Source code as Inline editor and paste the code in the index.js file. Also update the package.json file with the dependencies and then, click on the Deploy button. cloud-build-new-2
  • Now, the bot is deployed on the cloud functions!🥳 cloud-build-new-3
  • But the bot is not yet available to the public. To make the bot available to the public, we need to set up the webhook. For this, first remove the webhooks present for the bot by sending the following request to the telegram bot API:
curl -X POST https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/deleteWebhook
  • Then, set the webhook by sending the following request to the telegram bot API:
curl -X POST https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/setWebhook?url=<url>
  • In the above request, <token> is the token of the telegram bot and <url> is the url of the cloud function.
  • Now, the bot is available to the public!🥳 cloud-build-demo
