Update — Botlify Cloud Docs

This object represents an incoming update.

At most one of the optional fields can be present in any given update.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`update_id`	Integer	Always	The update's unique identifier. Update identifiers start from a certain positive number and increase sequentially. This identifier becomes especially handy if you're using webhooks, since it allows you to ignore repeated updates or to restore the correct update sequence, should they get out of order. If there are no new updates for at least a week, then identifier of the next update will be chosen randomly instead of sequentially.
`message`	Message	Optional	New incoming message of any kind - text, photo, sticker, etc.
`edited_message`	Message	Optional	New version of a message that is known to the bot and was edited. This update may at times be triggered by changes to message fields that are either unavailable or not actively used by your bot.
`channel_post`	Message	Optional	New incoming channel post of any kind - text, photo, sticker, etc.
`edited_channel_post`	Message	Optional	New version of a channel post that is known to the bot and was edited. This update may at times be triggered by changes to message fields that are either unavailable or not actively used by your bot.

The update isn't received for reactions set by bots.
`message_reaction_count`	MessageReactionCountUpdated	Optional	Reactions to a message with anonymous reactions were changed.
