Build a Telegram Bot using Google Apps Script

Originally posted on script.gs

I just launched SphygmoBot which is a human "Heartbeat" checker that pings you every 24 hours to see if you're alive and notifies someone in case your response fails.

SphygmoBot - A human

It uses:

  • Google Apps Script for it's backend architecture
  • Google Spreadsheet as a database
  • Telegram Bot API and it's webhook services

You can access the entire codebase on my GitHub repository here.
