Send notifications via Telegram
|
||
===============================
|
||
|
||
[⬅️ Go back to main README](../../README.md)
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️️ **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:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
|
||
> [`global-config`](../../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
|
||
> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.
|
||
|
||
### 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 use the function to send notifications directly. Give
|
||
it a try:
|
||
|
||
$SendTelegram "Subject..." "Body..."
|
||
|
||
Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured
|
||
methods:
|
||
|
||
$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body..."
|
||
|
||
To use the functions in your own scripts you have to declare them first.
|
||
Place this before you call them:
|
||
|
||
:global SendTelegram;
|
||
:global SendNotification;
|
||
|
||
In case there is a situation when the queue needs to be purged there is a
|
||
function available:
|
||
|
||
$PurgeTelegramQueue;
|
||
|
||
Tips & Tricks
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
### Set a profile photo
|
||
|
||
You can use a profile photo for your bot to make it recognizable. Open the
|
||
chat with [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and set it there.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Have a look at my
|
||
[RouterOS-Scripts Logo Color Changer](https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts/plain/contrib/logo-color.html)
|
||
to create a colored version of this scripts' logo.
