How to know if message is continuation of conversation? <p>This might be a stupid question, but I haven't come across any mention of it in the docs.</p> <p>How do I know when a message is a continuation of a previous interaction? For example, with BotFather, you send /setdescription and BotFather tells you to send details. You send details and BotFather knows the details are a description for the specified bot.</p> <p>How does it know about the bot I previously specified?</p> <p>I want to avoid fully-qualified commands (for lack of a better term) like:</p> <pre><code>/command [parameter] [parameter] </code></pre> <p>and turn them into:</p> <pre><code>[command] &lt;reaction&gt; [parameter] &lt;reaction&gt; [parameter] </code></pre> <p>Any tips?</p> <p>EDIT: for right now, I'm simply setting 'status' flags on users every time they finish a step in a multi-step operation. I check that tag after receiving every message to determine if a user is in the middle of an operation. It's rather tedious. I wonder if there's a better way / something built in to the API.</p>
