Telegram guard bot

Current

Also known as: Tagtough Telegram bot

Guards use Telegram instead of an app: register with a QR code, go on duty, share location, message the shift and report incidents.

A guard needs only Telegram on their phone. No login is required.

Register by scanning a QR code.
Go on and off duty, and see who else is on duty.
Share location.
Message everyone on shift with text, photos or voice notes. Every message is kept on record.
Report incidents, and add to incidents the team has open.

The bot writes to the same occurrence book and duty status as GuardSense, and a guard can use either or both. Telegram is also one of the channels for alerts from Tagtough Online, at no SMS cost.
