Send notifications via Telegram
===============================
[◀ Go back to main README](../../README.md)
> **Info**: This module can not be used on its own but requires the base
> installation. See [main README](../../README.md) for details.
Description
-----------
This module adds support for sending notifications via
[Telegram](https://telegram.org/) via bot api. A queue is used to make sure
notifications are not lost on failure but sent later.
Requirements and installation
-----------------------------
Just install the module:
$ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-telegram;
Also install Telegram on at least one of your mobile and/or desktop devices
and create an account.
Configuration
-------------
Open Telegram, then start a chat with [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and
create your own bot:
![create new bot](notification-telegram.d/newbot.avif)
Now open a chat with your bot and start it by clicking the `START` button.
Open just another chat with [GetIDs Bot](https://t.me/getidsbot), again start
with the `START` button. It will send you some information, including the
`id`, just below `You`.
Finally edit `global-config-overlay`, add `TelegramTokenId` with the token
from *BotFather* and `TelegramChatId` with your id from *GetIDs Bot*. Then
reload the configuration.
### Notifications to a group
Sending notifications to a group is possible as well. Add your bot and the
*GetIDs Bot* to a group, then use the group's id (which starts with a dash)
for `TelegramChatId`. Then remove *GetIDs Bot* from group.
Usage and invocation
--------------------
There's nothing special to do. Every script or function sending a notification
will now send it to your Telegram account.
But of course you can send notifications directly or use a function in your
own scripts. Give it a try:
$SendTelegram "Subject..." "Body..."
Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured
methods:
$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body..."
