Conversation
When it comes to chatbots, you probably don't want to react to single keywords, but instead, you might need to gather information from the user, using a conversation. Let's say that you want your chatbot to provide a rich user onboarding experience for your application users. In the onboarding process, we are going to ask the user for their first name and email address - that's a perfect fit for conversations! (More on Conversation Wiki)
$config = [
'token' => "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
];
$botter = BotterFactory::create($config);
class SignupConversation extends Conversation {
public function start()
{
$this->say("Welcome, Whats your name?");
$this->next("askEmail");
}
public function askEmail()
{
$this->name = $this->getAnswer()->getText();
$this->say("Whats your email?");
$this->next("finishSignup");
}
public function finishSignup()
{
$name = $this->name;
$this->say("Thanks {$name}! Your account has been created.");
$this->finish();
}
}
On::text("/signup", function() use($botter){
$botter->startConversation(new SignupConversation);
});
$botter->listen();Why did I make Botter?
The goal was to simplify the process of making Telegram bots for my projects. ~2 years after I built Botter, I decided to publish it as an Open Source library.
Of course, there are still some problems in Botter that I am constantly trying to fix them. If you find a problem, you can tell me in Issues.
