Usage

1. Get VK community token (Just open the "Manage community" tab, go to "API usage" tab and click "Create token")
2. Activate Bots Long Poll API ("Manage community" → "API usage" → "Bots Long Poll API") and choose the latest API version. Make sure that under event types all message-realted events are turned on.
3. Activate an option to message your community. To allow group chats, activate it under bot capabilities.
4. On matrix, contact @_vk_puppet_bot:your.domain and type link <vk token>
5. Now, if someone contacts your community, you will be invited to the corresponding room on Matrix.

Plese note: when community is invited to the group chat as a bot, make sure it has message access. Only chat admins can change bot permissions.
