I can't get my bot approved on Kik because of the following reason:
Your bot failed to respond to messages of the following types: start-chatting, video
I'll probably fix the start-chatting, but the video part is weird.
In other channels (e.g. Facebook Messenger) my bot intercept the video and can responds to it, but on Kik, it seems like I get no message at all when the user sends a video message.
Anyone familiar with that issue? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using the Node.Js SDK.
I solved it. My bot service is running on Azure, and after 20 minutes of inactivity, the server is becoming idle and the response is delayed in about 15 seconds.

I face a somewhat weird problem. Unfortunately, I have to diagnose and repair it from distance without any real access. So I don't know if I can provide enough information to solve it.
Context:
I built an interface for my grandma (94) to chat with the family via telegram by connecting a Telegram bot to a microphone (for her to record voice messages) and a small printer (for the messages to be printed for her). [This is inspired by the Yayagram invented!]
The problem:
For the last one year, everything worked just fine. However, a few days ago, the bot stopped working. My grandma could not send any voice messages and didn't receive any of our messages. After calling her and checking all the connections, we restarted the device. Now, she can send voice messages, but the bot still doesn't process our text messages (nor commands!).
I have never encountered a bot being able to send messages without processing incoming messages. As I said, I have no way to analyze the problem in detail as my grandma lives 500km from me. If anybody has any ideas where the problem could be, I would be very happy.
Edit:
I knew it would work to post a question on StackOverflow! Out of nowhere, the bot seems to work again. I have no idea what caused it, or why it started again as I did nothing. I am still grateful for any insight for what might have caused it!
I need my discord bot written in PYTHON to be able to send a text chat notification about the start of the stream. I tried using webhooks in discord using the IFTTT site, but the alerts come with a huge delay. Can someone throw off some of the code for notification of streams? Thank you in advance
You can use Twitch's Eventsub to recieve a notification when a Stream goes live then modify the payload to match Discord's Webhook format and forward the payload on. Which is essentially what IFTTT does anyway.
Currently EventSub only offers a Webhook Transport. So you need a "Server" that can recieve a HTTP Post from Twitch.
Twitch EventSub is covered here https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub
Discord Webhooks is covered here https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook
If you want your Discord Bot to do it itself, then you generally would not use EventSub as you don't want your Bot process to be directly web accesable, so you'd have to poll the Streams Endpoint of the Helix API periodically and test for the Stream changing from offline to online and do whatever is needed. (Or setup a side process to recieve and internal relay the data)
You would use a Twitch App Access/Client Credentials Token, since this is a server to server request.
I am newbie in programming, so I'm asking to be, let's say, more patient. Thanks.
Now what I want to ask.
So I have a discord bot that check minecraft server status. By checking server status it set for himself Playing status like "Playing x/y players" or "Server unavailable". I want to make notifications when it will send message if status "Server unavailable" changes to "Playing", so users of my discord server get notified when server up. More better will be if notifications will be sent only if server was unavailable for more than X minutes.
One more thing. I do Not ask for sample code, but for directions for what I'm should Google, so I can write code by myself.
Thanks for any help!
Oh btw, bot is written on Node.js.
I'm creating a NodeJS application that should receive notifications from FCM. I've seen in the FCM documentation that you can send, but not receive notifications in the current version.
I've already searched alternatives for FCM, like pushy but seems that they have the same problem, only send notifications, not receive.
Currently I'm poling a REST api every 30 seconds to check for changes but obviously this is not the perfect scenario.
Is there any opensource or commercial solution that can receive notifications from a service, similar to firebase?
I find
https://github.com/MatthieuLemoine/push-receiver for node
and https://github.com/Francesco149/push_receiver for python
Basically there is a server with a BOT, i want to make my BOT from my server send a PM to the other BOT, the other BOT is not on my server, is this possible?
This is not possible for two main reasons.
It's explicitly blocked by Discord. You'd get the following error:
The server responded with error 50007: Cannot send messages to this user
Bots can only send a PM to a user if they share a server with the user. So while the other bot does not need to be in your server, your bot will need to be in at least one server with the other bot.
Of course, point 1 makes this a moot point anyway
