how to schedule a telegram bot to send a message?
12,136
If I understand correctly, you need to check your system time before sending a message, you could use the following code [source]:
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()
current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print("Current Time =", current_time)
To send a message you could use the following code [source]:
def test_send_message():
text = 'CI Test Message'
tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
ret_msg = tb.send_message(CHAT_ID, text)
assert ret_msg.message_id
To compare the time, you may use:
if current_time=='17:30:00':
test_send_message()

I am trying to create a Telegram bot that sends a message at a specific time, 5:30pm. However, the ways a was trying are not correct.
I wanted to trigger send_message regarding to the time and without the necessity of the user to send any /command.
import telebot import datetime TOKEN = 'MyToken' bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN) @bot.message_handler(commands=['start']) def send_welcome(message): message_id=message.chat.id bot.reply_to(message,"Welcome") bot.polling()
Until now I was trying to add something like that, of course it is not python but kind of pseudocode just to explain:
if currenttime=17:30 send_message(idchat, "mymessage")
Thank you in advance.
