# Features

* [x] List approvals
* [x] Approve pending approvals
* [x] Reject pending approvals
* [x] Delete archived approvals
* [x] Permission handling based on telegram usernames
* [x] Filter visible approvals on a per-chat basis
# How it works
This bot uses the REST api provided by Keel to interact with it
and relies on the Webhook functionality to receive and forward notifications
to telegram chats. On one hand **keel-telegram-bot** acts like the web
interface, on the other hand it acts like a proxy, both combined into a
single package.
To get the commands working simply provide all the necessary details of
the configuration file.
To get notifications working you will have to provide the address of
**keel-telegram-bot** to Keel using the `WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT` env variable.
The simplest way to achieve this is by running both Keel and **keel-telegram-bot**
on the same host and specifying `http://localhost:5000/`.
# How to use
Configure the docker image using either environment variables, or mount the configuration
file from your host system to `/app/keel-telegram-bot.yaml`.
## Configuration
**keel-telegram-bot** uses [container-app-conf](https://github.com/markusressel/container-app-conf)
to provide configuration via a YAML file as well as ENV variables. Have a look at the
[documentation about it](https://github.com/markusressel/container-app-conf).
See [keel-telegram-bot_example.yaml](/keel-telegram-bot_example.yaml) for an example in this repo.
## Run
To run **keel-telegram-bot** using docker you can use the [ghcr.io/markusressel/keel-telegram-bot](https://github.com/markusressel/keel-telegram-bot/pkgs/container/keel-telegram-bot) image:
```
sudo docker run -t \
ghcr.io/markusressel/keel-telegram-bot:latest
