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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
