Trigger for Telegram that invokes a Serverless Containers container

A Telegram trigger runs a Serverless Containers container whenever the Telegram bot receives a new update: message, command, button callback, and other events. To receive updates, the trigger uses the Telegram bot's token.

A Telegram trigger needs a service account to invoke a container.
