# Blogs To Telegram
This GitHub Actions workflow automatically posts new articles from your DEV.to account to a specified Telegram chat. The workflow runs every hour and checks for new articles. If a new article is found, it sends a message to the Telegram chat with the article's title and URL.
## Setup
1. **Fork the repository**: Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.
2. **Add Secrets**: Add the following secrets to your GitHub repository:
- `DEVTO_API_KEY`: Your DEV.to API key.
- `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`: Your Telegram bot token.
- `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`: The chat ID where you want to post the messages.
3. **Configure the Workflow**: The workflow is defined in `.github/workflows/post-to-telegram.yml`. It is scheduled to run every hour but can also be triggered manually.
## How It Works
1. **Fetch DEV.to Articles**: The workflow fetches the latest published articles from your DEV.to account using the DEV.to API.
2. **Check for New Articles**: It compares the ID of the latest article with the ID stored in `last_posted_article_id.txt`. If they are different, it means a new article has been posted.
3. **Post to Telegram**: If a new article is found, the workflow sends a message to the specified Telegram chat with the article's title and URL.
4. **Update Last Posted Article ID**: The workflow updates the `last_posted_article_id.txt` file in the repository to keep track of the last posted article.
## Running the Workflow
The workflow runs automatically every hour. You can also trigger it manually from the Actions tab in your GitHub repository.
## Example
Here is an example of the message that will be posted to Telegram:
New DEV.to article published: ["How to Automate Your Workflow with GitHub Actions"](https://dev.to/yourusername/how-to-automate-your-workflow-with-github-actions)
