README
:heavy_exclamation_mark: New! RedBot 1.0 is out, read here
With **RedBot** you can visually build a full featured chat bot for **Telegram**, **Facebook Messenger**, **Viber**, **Twilio** and **Slack** with Node-RED. ~~Almost~~ no coding skills required.
> Node-RED is a tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
Maintaining **RedBot** is very time-consuming, if you like it, please consider:
## Documentation

5. [Changelog](https://www.notion.so/redbot/Change-log-b46a94ab6bbc4c7d8a586cbc21af7d78)
## Getting started
First of all install [Node-RED](http://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/installation)
```
$ sudo npm install -g node-red
```
Then open the user data directory `~/.node-red` and install the package
```
$ cd ~/.node-red
$ npm install node-red-contrib-chatbot
```
Then run
```
node-red
```
The 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).
Use **@BotFather** to create a chat bot, [follow instructions here](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) then copy you access **token**.
Then open your **Node-RED** and add a `Telegram Receiver`, in the configuration panel, add a new bot and paste the **token**
Now add a `Message` node and connect to the `Telegram Receiver`
Finally 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
Now you have a useful bot that answers *"Hi there!"* to any received message. We can do a lot better.
