telegram-bot's Issues

Receiving unexpected behavior while handling Telegram bot commands

Hello and thank you for this nice software and tips. Following your instructions I am using AWS Lamba as webhook for all messages that comes to telegram bot.
However I got an issue. For some reason lambda function does not reply on command first time. Telegram user just has no answer. But it replies every next time on previous request.

I will give and example:

I put command 1. Result: no answer.
I put command 2. Result: answer on command 1.
I put command 3. Result: answer on command 2
I put command 4. Result: answer on command 3
and so on... what is going wrong?

Possible to keep track of state in AWS lambda TG bot?

Hi,
First off thanks so much for this useful tutorial

I am wondering if it's possible to prompt the user with a menu of options depending on what query they run. For example they say /weather, then the bot asks for your location, then you hit back with /Singapore or /NewYork or something. Is this possible? Would state need to be stored in a DB?

Thanks,
