Use platform narrowing when you need Telegram-specific actions.

​
Starting a conversation

Resolve a user by their Telegram user ID and open a space. You can also pass a chatId parameter to target a specific Telegram chat: 
const tg = telegram(app);
const user = await tg.user("123456789");
const space = await tg.space.create(user);

await space.send("Hello from Spectrum.");
