This project implements a bot for managing the 'FirmaChain Global Official' Telegram group.

The bot immediately kicks out any new bots that join the chat room, temporarily restricts all rights of new users, and sends a message button for restoring these rights. Users have to click the button within 3 minutes, otherwise the message will be automatically deleted. When the button is clicked, a welcome message is sent to the user, and each time a new user clicks the button, the most recent welcome message is deleted and a new welcome message is sent.

This project uses a separate scheduler process. The scheduler automatically deletes the message 3 minutes later if the user does not click the button to restore rights.

To set up the environment, you first need to copy the .env.sample file to .env.production and set appropriate values for each environment variable.

# File copy
$ cp .env.sample .env.production

• PORT: Specifies the port on which the server will run (e.g. 3000).

• TOKEN: Specifies the token value of the bot.

• GROUP_CHAT_ID: Specifies the ID of the Telegram group chat to be managed.

• RESTRICT_DELETE_TIME: Specifies the time in minutes to delete the message after setting the restriction (e.g. 3).

• RESTRICT_FILE_PATH: Specifies the path of the file where the restriction message is stored (e.g. public/your_restrict_filename.json).

• NOTICE_FILE_PATH: Specifies the path of the file where the notice message is stored (e.g. public/your_notice_filename.json).
