TelegramBotMessageSender

TelegramBotMessageSender is a Python-based application designed to automate the sending of messages via a Telegram bot. The application reads the bot token and chat ID from a configuration file, prompts the user to either use these existing credentials or input new ones, and sends a predefined message to the specified chat.

Features

• Read Configuration: Reads bot token and chat ID from a file (bot_parameters.txt).
• User Prompt: Prompts the user to confirm the use of existing credentials or to input new ones.
• Save New Credentials: Saves new bot token and chat ID to the configuration file if provided.
• Send Message: Sends a predefined message to the specified Telegram chat using the provided bot token and chat ID.
• Error Handling: Handles file not found errors, invalid file format errors, and other potential issues gracefully.
• Simple Setup: Easy to configure and run with minimal dependencies.
