Telegram Bot and chat to create WebSite Helper (PHP+JS(JQuery2)+HTML+CSS)

If you try everything, but it is not working - you can write me (https://telegram.me/surzhikov).

The general scheme of ideas:

That's how it happens:

1. Online users write to chat
2. Post it flies on your server
3. From there Telegram-bot sends it to the correct manager
4. The manager responds by Telegram
5. Bot sends a message back to chat_na_sayte

Screenshot:

Requirement:

You must've Telegram Account. If you don't have make one using https://web.telegram.org/).

Todo:

1. Download or clone this repo
2. Create a new bot. Add user @BotFather and follow this step to create a new bot
   
   
3. Edit configuration in «telegramSiteHelper/tbConfig.php»
   
4. Upload everything to your hosting/server/VPS
   
5. «telegramSiteHelper/tbServer.php» should run continuously, because it is a server. Add the cron job with a period of 1 every minute for this script. If the script fails, it will start again for a minute. It will be launched at the same time only one copy of the script.
   
6. Try!
   
7. Usage:
   
   

• Add your bot to your contact list
  
• Enter your manager password
  
• Use command «/offline», «/online», «/exit»
  

Minuses:

• Chat Who made "in haste" to start soon in the project. There are many loopholes, by which for example can be written in another chat room and peek's correspondence.
• Now, these problems do not disturb me, because chatting assistant site have been made to transfer important and sensitive information.
• When a manager and a lot of customers - can be confused whom to answer.
• ... I supplement of the comments

Pros:

• It works!
• Free Forever and for any number of managers
• No need extra applications only telegrams, which is for all popular platforms
• You can rewrite and stylized chat as you want.
• Telegram is very fast
• ... I supplement of the comments

What can be done:

• Foolproof and work on security
• Smart distribution system communications between managers (now the bot sends a random message to the manager)
• Automatic responses from the bot when the manager was silent for a long time
• Add a name and a photo manager that is responsible chatting
• ... I supplement of the comments

In the plans:

• Admin panel with statistics
• Work through webhook
