Makarski Bot Connector for Telegram provides a clean foundation for building Telegram bots powered by WordPress. It handles all the low-level communication with the Telegram Bot API so you can focus on your bot’s logic.
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Registers a Telegram bot webhook or runs in polling mode (via WP-Cron)</li>
<li>Automatically creates WordPress users for incoming chat IDs</li>
<li>Dispatches incoming messages and commands through WordPress action hooks</li>
<li>Provides a full-featured BotApi class with 30+ methods</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Webhook & Polling — works on any hosting; polling mode requires no public HTTPS URL</li>
<li>Command routing — register bot commands with <code>register_bot_command()</code></li>
<li>Normalized message hook — <code>tgbot_message</code> fires for all message types (text, photo, voice, video, document, callback_query) with a consistent object structure</li>
<li>Broadcast — send mass messages to all bot users from the WP admin (Telegram Bot → Broadcast); filter by language, compose per-locale messages, cron-batched delivery with real-time progress and history</li>
<li>Stars payments — built-in support for Telegram Stars invoices, pre-checkout, and refunds</li>
<li>Multipart uploads — send photos, audio, voice messages, videos, and documents</li>
<li>Internationalization — translatable, ships with a .pot file</li>
</ul>
<h4>Available BotApi methods</h4>
<pre><code>send_message, `send_plain_message`, `send_markdown_message`, `send_photo`, `send_document`, `send_audio`, `send_voice`, `send_video`, `send_animation`, `send_chat_action`, `send_location`, `send_stars_invoice`, `forward_message`, `copy_message`, `delete_message`, `delete_messages`, `edit_message`, `edit_message_markup`, `answer_callback_query`, `answer_pre_checkout_query`, `set_my_commands`, `set_webhook`, `delete_webhook`, `get_webhook_info`, `get_updates`, `get_document_url`, `get_photo_url`, `refund_star_payment`
</code></pre>
<h4>Available action hooks</h4>
<code>tgbot_message</code> (primary hook) 
Fires for every non-command incoming message (text, media, callback_query).
<pre><code>add_action( 'tgbot_message', function( $bot, $user_id, $message ) {
 // $message->type — 'text' | 'image' | 'voice' | 'video' | 'audio'
 // | 'document' | 'sticker' | 'video_note' | 'callback_query'
 // $message->text — message text, caption, or callback data
 // $message->files — array of WP attachment IDs (downloaded files)
 // $message->has_media_group — true if part of a multi-file album
 // $message->media_group_id — Telegram media_group_id string
 if ( $message->type === 'voice' ) {
 $bot->send_message( 'Got a voice message!' );
 }
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
<code>tgbot_handle_custom_bot_commands</code> 
Fires when a slash command is received, before the built-in dispatcher.
<pre><code>add_action( 'tgbot_handle_custom_bot_commands', function( $bot, $user_id, $command ) {
 // $command — e.g. '/mycommand'
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
<code>tgbot_bot_call</code> 
Fires for every incoming update, including commands. Useful for cross-cutting concerns.
<code>tgbot_pre_checkout_query</code> 
Fires when a Telegram Stars pre-checkout query arrives.
<pre><code>add_action( 'tgbot_pre_checkout_query', function( $bot, $query, $user_id ) {
 $bot->answer_pre_checkout_query( $query->id, true );
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
<code>tgbot_successful_payment</code> 
Fires after a successful Telegram Stars payment.
<pre><code>add_action( 'tgbot_successful_payment', function( $bot, $payment, $user_id ) {
 // $payment->telegram_payment_charge_id — use for refunds
 // $payment->total_amount — amount in Stars
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
<code>tgbot_raw_message</code> 
Fires with the raw Telegram update object for advanced use cases.
<h4>Registering bot commands</h4>
Use <code>TGBot\register_bot_command()</code> inside an <code>init</code> hook:
<pre><code>add_action( 'init', function() {
 TGBot\register_bot_command( 'hello', function( $bot ) {
 $bot->send_message( 'Hello, ' . $bot->chat_id . '!' );
 } );

 TGBot\register_bot_command( 'ping', function( $bot ) {
 $bot->send_message( 'Pong 🏓' );
 } );
} );
</code></pre>
<h4>Minimal plugin example</h4>
<pre><code>add_action( 'init', function() {
 TGBot\register_bot_command( 'start', function( $bot ) {
 $bot->send_message( 'Welcome!' );
 } );
} );

add_action( 'tgbot_message', function( $bot, $user_id, $msg ) {
 if ( $msg->type === 'text' ) {
 $bot->send_message( 'You said: ' . esc_html( $msg->text ) );
 }
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
