Paste one file into Cloudflare Workers, and you're done.</p> <h2> 🤖 What It Does </h2> <p>HG-TeleFlare is a complete bot builder in a single <code>worker.js</code> file. It runs entirely on Cloudflare's free tier (100,000 requests/day), so there are no server costs.</p> <p><strong>The setup wizard auto-provisions everything:</strong></p> <ul> <li>D1 database for storing bots, rules, and users</li> <li>KV storage for media files and session state</li> <li>Child Workers for each bot you create</li> <li>Webhooks connected automatically</li> </ul> <p>All you need is a Cloudflare account and a Telegram bot token from <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/botfather">@botfather</a>.</p> <h2> 🎨 Visual Rule Builder </h2> <p>No coding required. Build bots with triggers and actions:</p> <p><strong>Triggers:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Commands like <code>/start</code>, <code>/help</code> </li> <li>Messages (contains, exact match, starts with, regex)</li> <li>Inline button callbacks</li> <li>New members joining a group</li> <li>Conversation state (multi-step forms)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Actions:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Send a message (personalized with <code>{first_name}</code>, <code>{username}</code>, etc.)</li> <li>Send photos or documents from your media library</li> <li>Show custom keyboards and inline buttons</li> <li>Fetch data from an external API</li> <li>Store data in KV storage</li> <li>Set or clear conversation state</li> </ul> <h2> 🚀 How It Works (3 Steps) </h2> <h3> 1. Paste the File </h3> <p>Copy <code>worker.js</code> into a new Cloudflare Worker. Click deploy.</p> <h3> 2. Run the Setup Wizard </h3> <p>Paste your Cloudflare API token once. The wizard auto-creates the database, storage, and runs migrations. Register your admin account.</p> <h3> 3. Build and Deploy Bots </h3> <p>Add your bot token from <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/botfather">@botfather</a>, create rules in the visual builder, and click <strong>Deploy</strong>. Your bot is live instantly.</p> <h2> ✨ Features </h2> <div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Feature</th> <th>Description</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Zero-Config</strong></td> <td>No CLI, no npm, no local environment</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Visual Builder</strong></td> <td>Drag-and-drop rules, no code needed</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Multi-Step Forms</strong></td> <td>Conversation state for complex flows</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Broadcasts</strong></td> <td>Send newsletters with personalization</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Media Library</strong></td> <td>Upload and reuse images and documents</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Real-Time Logs</strong></td> <td>Monitor bot activity from the dashboard</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Import/Export</strong></td> <td>Share rule templates as JSON</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>100% Free</strong></td> <td>MIT license, runs on Cloudflare free tier</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <h2> 🎯 Who Is This For? </h2> <ul> <li>Telegram group admins who want automation</li> <li>Small businesses needing a support bot</li> <li>Developers who want to skip boilerplate</li> <li>Anyone curious about serverless architecture</li> </ul> <h2> 🔗 Links </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>GitHub:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/Hamed-Gharghi/Cloudflare-Telegram-bot-builder" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/Hamed-Gharghi/Cloudflare-Telegram-bot-builder</a> </li> <li> <strong>Live Demo:</strong> Deploy it yourself in 60 seconds!</li> </ul> <p>I'd love to hear what you think — what features would you want to see next?
