hmm ... you have to do something tricky .. here is the example: user should start the bot via this url: http://t.me/botname?start=12345

require 'telegram/bot'

token = 'SECRET_BOT_TOKEN'
Telegram::Bot::Client.run(token) do |telegram_bot|
	telegram_bot.listen do |message|
		case message.text
		when '/start'
			p "user was clicked the start button"
			p message.text
		else
			p "user typed something else ..."
			p message.text
		end
	end
end

and here is the result of our code:

> "user typed something else ..."
> "/start 12345"

i hope you've found the answer
