Telegram-Bot: A PHP repository from bitcoin-token

Bitcoin Token Telegram Bot

The Bitcoin Token Telegram Bot is a great way to introduce some response automation for your Telegram group. This application is built using the Laravel framework, the Vue.js framework and the Botman library. Database support was added as a way to allow multiple team members to update the bot's response content. You will need a database in order to use this, which could be as simple as SQLite or as complex as MySQL.
