First, get your token from [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather). Then, install it: ```bash $ gem install telepost ``` Then, use it like this: ```ruby require 'telepost' tp = Telepost.new('..token..') Thread.start do tp.run do |chat, msg| tp.post(chat, 'Thanks for talking to me!') end end tp.post(12345, 'How are you?', 'How are you doing?') ``` All lines you provide to the `post()` method will be concatenated with a space between them. Or you can pre-configure it to talk to certain list of chats. Your bot has to be an admin of the channel, in order to post there. Here is how you "spam": ```ruby tp = Telepost.new('..token..', chats: ['my_channel']) tp.spam('How are you?') ``` That's it. ## How to contribute Read [these guidelines](https://www.yegor256.com/2014/04/15/github-guidelines.html).
