First of all, thank you for this bot!

My question is, how can I change the formatting so that the bot would let me use telegram emojis in my text?

Thank you in advance and greetings from Austria. :)

Telegram keeps banning my numbers despite the fact that increased the delays signficantly.

any work around to ensure the bot stays active for a long time without getting suspended

Please i would like to send different messages to same group at the different intervals. how do i do that on the same settting.yml file because it seems to delete duplicate group names

Hi All. I'm asking if is there a way to correctly terminate the bot along with the telegram session. I found that stopping the container in Docker seems not to close the telegram session in telegram. Thanks.

I cant run yet. Am on Linux mint. docker and python installed. settings file verified with yaml. +++++++++++

when i run with docker, i get this message:

When i run the python, i get this:

if i run it with root access, i get this:

if i use python3 command to run, i get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "tg_shill_bot.py", line 260, in CLIENT = TelegramClient(APP_SHORT_NAME, API_ID, API_HASH) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/telethon/client/telegrambaseclient.py", line 299, in init self.api_id = int(api_id) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1d491ef9d3521e4be434f0483d6a6d60'

Help please

Hey there, I'm getting the following error that I did not get with the version before. In the previous version, the bot somehow simply does not send to that group and there is no error. I see what the error means but would it be possible to catch it and make the bot send again to that group once the required wait time is over? The error:

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! One thing that would push the value of this bot further would be the possibility to add pictues into your message. Would that work? Kind regards

Add unique image to message

Make it possible to add a different image to each message or add no image

messages:
  one:
    image: images/grogugif.gif 
    text: |
      this is message 1
    
  two: 
    text: |
      this is message 2

Make thank you messages optional

Tag in raid channel:

"add_thank_you": {"type": "boolean"},

get a lot of these error messages

Hello!

I'm trying to use your bot and I would like to join ~200 groups. After one hour of joining, I get this error: FloodWaitError invoked while connecting to... forcing a 70k second...

Do you have tips to "bypass" this value?

Thank you :)

i ran with python and go this error message

Traceback (most recent call last): File "tg_shill_bot.py", line 149, in CLIENT = TelegramClient(APP_SHORT_NAME, API_ID, API_HASH) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/telethon/client/telegrambaseclient.py", line 299, in init self.api_id = int(api_id) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1d491ef9d3521e4be434f0483d6a6d60'

Please help

Great tool sir.

It worked nicely and accurately.

Would it be possible to add multiple accounts for shilling like it is with the "raid" that enables us to add multiple messages ?

Ty.
