Telegram respond to text not command

Configuration
1

Hey! all i’m in the process of migrating my Google Hangouts integration to Telegram and its going pretty smoothly. I migrated alot of my intent_scripts to automations but I am running into trouble with text msgs

With hangouts I had it so if someone wrote specific words it would call a script ex if someone wrote “the feels” HASS would respond with

  Feels:
    speech:
      text: I know right?!

Is there anyway to do this similarly with telegram? or does everything have to be commands with the preceding “/”

/something
Is received as a telegram bot command event.

Where as

something
Is received as a telegram bot text event

Both can be used as triggers.

Details can be found here under the events section:
