Hi

I need some help getting started with the Telegram app. I’ve setup everything, so I can make a simple flow that receives my message and displays it in a notification.

However, what I want to do is to send it “commands” if possible

I want to write “/voice hello” and the flow should understand it’s a voice message and send the message “hello” it to my chromecast speaker. I’m not sure how or if it’s possible though.

Could someone help me, maybe screenshot a flow or so?

Could you be so kind to reveal _which_ Telegram app this is about?

I recommend to post in the relevant app topic:

The app will require you to set up your own custom bot, which was optional before. People using the shared bot can already set up a custom bot in the current app to prevent br…

But I recommend you to check out the # 1 Telegram community app. It’s very versatile!
