Telecord
Telecord is a bot that translates Discord messages to Telegram Messages (and the other way around).
Current Status

- Sends text and media from Discord to Telegram
- Sends text and media from Telegram to Discord
Usage
Make sure you have the proper environment variables set. You can do this with export or by modifying the .env file. A sample .env is provided in this crate as .env.sample
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN are self-explanatory, but CHAT_MAPPINGS is a comma separated list of colon-separated tuples. The environment variable 1234:abcd,5678:efgh maps telegram chat 1234 to discord channel abcd, and also maps telegram chat 5678 to discord channel efgh.
Once you have your environment variable set, you can use cargo run to run the bot. Please note that the bot must be added to and be able to read messages in the Discord Channels and Telegram Chats it is meant to connect.
