## RequestEventMatcher interface

Rule that controls which request matches, and to which Telegram chat the text should be sent.

The rule `predicate` determines whether a request matches or not.

The rule `text` converts the combination request and event into a text to send to Telegram. This text should respect the formatting options and length allowed by the sendMessage endpoint of the Telegram API.
