A simple telegram echo bot is first made with aiogram, that fetches updates using web-hook connection.
Deploy
This bot can be easily deployed to Heroku cloud platform.
The following steps assume that you have Heroku CLI installed in your system.
- Clone the repo and move into the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/aahnik/webhook-aiogram-heroku.git
cd webhook-aiogram-heroku
- Create a new Heroku app.
heroku create
- Set the Config Vars.
| Config Var |

To confirm your bot is working:

- Send a message to your bot, and your bot will echo it back to you.
The bot will go to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. So you save dyno hours in Heroku.
