TheBDayBot

A simple birthday reminder bot for Telegram.

Want to add it to your group? Look for @the_bday_bot on telegram

Note: it only works for groups since every birthday is tied to a specific group member id / username.

Want to host it by yourself?

1. Clone this repository onto your server

git clone https://github.com/azzlabs/the_bday_bot.git

2. Install all the dependencies - You'll need npm installed!

npm install

3. Copy the contents of config.json.example into config.json and add your api key (you can create a new bot and obtain a key using @BotFather)

4. You can either run it on the shell with npm start or in background using pm2 pm2 start bday_bot.js

Note: it requires MongoDB to run! You can specify the MongoDB uri and the database name into the config.json file. You'll just need to create a database and create a couple of collections named birthdays and groups respectively
