visually build a full featured chat bot for **Telegram**, **Facebook Messenger**, **Viber**, **Twilio** and **Slack** with Node-RED. ~~Almost~~ no coding skills required.\n\n\u003e Node-RED is a tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.\n\nMaintaining **RedBot** is very time-consuming, if you like it, please consider:\n\n\u003ca

Documentation\n\n1. [RedBot nodes](https://github.com/guidone/node-red-contrib-chatbot/wiki/RedBot-nodes)\n2. [Examples](https://www.notion.so/redbot/Examples-5c2c1d6bd49641499c97b65d9f46d4ba)\n3. [Advanced examples](https://www.notion.so/redbot/Advanced-Topics-18a43568eaf14ee4a442ea4cf2f44068)\n4. [Chat context](https://www.notion.so/redbot/Chat-Context-3460c588cf234344974936acd05f8c16)\n5. [Changelog](https://www.notion.so/redbot/Change-log-b46a94ab6bbc4c7d8a586cbc21af7d78)\n\n## Getting started\n\nFirst of all install [Node-RED](http://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/installation)\n\n```\n$ sudo npm install -g node-red\n```\n\nThen open  the user data directory  `~/.node-red`  and install the package\n\n```\n$ cd ~/.node-red\n$ npm install node-red-contrib-chatbot\n```\n\nThen run\n\n```\nnode-red\n```\n\nThe next step is to create a chat bot, I recommend to use **Telegram** since the setup is easier ( **Telegram** allows polling to receive messages, so it's not necessary to create a https certificate).\nUse **@BotFather** to create a chat bot, [follow instructions here](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) then copy you access **token**.\n\nThen open your **Node-RED** and add a `Telegram Receiver`, in the configuration panel, add a new bot and paste the **token**\n\n![Telegram Receiver](https://github.com/guidone/node-red-contrib-chatbot/raw/master/docs/images/example-telegram-receiver.png)\n\nNow add a  `Message`  node and connect to the  `Telegram Receiver`\n\n![Simple Message](https://github.com/guidone/node-red-contrib-chatbot/raw/master/docs/images/example-simple-message.png)\n\nFinally add a `Telegram Sender` node, don't forget to select in the configuration panel the same bot of the `Telegram Receiver`, this should be the final layout\n\n![Example Simple](https://github.com/guidone/node-red-contrib-chatbot/raw/master/docs/images/example-simple.png)\n\nNow you have a useful bot that answers *\"Hi there!\"* to any received message. We can do a lot better.\n\n\n## Credits\n* Inspired by the Karl-Heinz Wind work [node-red-contrib-telegram](https://github.com/windkh/node-red-contrib-telegrambot)\n* [Telegram Bot API for NodeJS](https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api)\n* [NLP.js](https://github.com/axa-group/nlp.js)\n\n## The MIT License\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in\nall copies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
