PokemonRaidBot usage
Send your location to the bot
If RAID_LOCATION is set to true (default), the bot will guide you through the creation of a raid poll based on the settings in the config file.
In case of a raid poll the bot will ask you for the raid level, the pokemon raid boss, the time until the raids starts and the time left for the raid. Afterwards you can set the gym name and gym team by using the /gym and /team commands.
If LIST_BY_LOCATION is set to true, the bot will instead list all nearby saved raids.
Using inline search of @PortalMapBot or @Ingressportalbot
You can add new gyms to the bot using the inline search of one of the bots mentioned above. Just search for a portal name, e.g. Brandenburger Tor, and select one of the portals shown as result of your search.
On selection the portal information will get posted as a normal message and detected, so a new gym is automatically created from the portal info in that message.
In case the portal is already in your gym list / database, it will get updated with the new info (latitude, longitude and address) from the message.
Example: @PortalMapBot Brandenburger Tor
