Telegram Bot with Schedule and Spam Control

This repository contains a Python script for a Telegram bot that sends scheduled messages to users. The bot allows users to start or stop the spam messages using inline buttons.

Features

• Start and Stop Spam: Users can control whether they want to receive spam messages using "yes" and "no" buttons.
• Threading: The script uses threading to run the message schedule in the background without blocking the bot's other functionalities.
• Environment Variables: The bot token is securely managed using an .env file, ensuring that sensitive information is not hardcoded in the script.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Telegram bot token (you can create a bot and obtain a token using BotFather)
