This Telegram bot takes whatever message it is sent or forwarded and sends it to a LucaTNT/microsoft-todo-adder API endpoint to add it to a Microsoft To Do list.

Configuration

It requires four parameters through environment variables:

• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN (required) is the token obtained from @Botfather.
• AUTHORIZED_CHAT_IDS is a comma-separated list of chat IDs allowed to talk to the bot. Get yours through @chatIDrobot.
• TODO_ADDER_AUTH_TOKEN is the secret authorization code that allows access to microsoft-todo-adder
• TODO_TASK_ENDPOINT is the microsoft-todo-adder endpoint (it usually ends with /api/v1/todo)

Running the app

You can either run the app directly through NodeJS

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-token AUTHORIZED_CHAT_IDS=your-chat-id TODO_ADDER_AUTH_TOKEN=your-secret TODO_TASK_ENDPOINT=your-endpoint node index.js

Or you can run it in Docker

docker run -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-token -e AUTHORIZED_CHAT_IDS=your-chat-id -e TODO_ADDER_AUTH_TOKEN=your-secret -e TODO_TASK_ENDPOINT=your-endpoint --init cr.casa.lucazorzi.net/easypodcast/telegram-to-todo

Note that the --init option is highly recommended because it allows you to stop the container through a simple Ctrl+C when running in the foreground. Without it you need to use docker stop.
