How to receive other notifications and handle the notification body#

You can receive not only incoming messages but also outgoing messages. You can also get the status of the sent message.

• To receive outgoing messages, you need to use the bot.router.outgoing_message object;
• To receive outgoing API messages, you need to use the bot.router.outgoing_api_message object;
• To receive the status of sent messages, you need to use the bot.router.outgoing_message_status object.

The body of the notification is in notification.event. In this example, we get the message type from the notification body.

Link to example: event.py.

@bot.router.message()
def message_handler(notification: Notification) -> None:
    print(notification.event)


bot.run_forever()
