I've been using Notify My Android for any server events that happen. 

This app just went down a few weeks ago, so I moved all my applications to use a custom Telegram Bot

Would it be possible to add a Telegram Bot  to Settings - Notification Settings?

 

 

Probably a good idea to remove Notify my Android as well as it's no longer supported and the servers are gone.

The most easy way for me to receive notifictions via Telegram is by using this bot: 

https://t.me/gmailbot

You just setup notifications via email to some gmail account and than login to the account with the bot.

Happy to do a Telegram bot integration if @limetech is happy with the idea. Microservice hosting such as now.sh could do for hosting the bot router, but might need a subdomain CNAME that would go in the webGui source.

With a few extra steps, it is possible without hosting a bot middleware: https://github.com/limetech/webgui/pull/425

@limetech, following this up from:

 

 

@Ashe, as you can see from here, the script checks if the `chatid` file does not exist and if it doesn't it asks the Telegram API for the latest bot updates, expecting to find a message from the user in there that would get the chat id to the `chatid` file. I have recently noticed that the timestamp on the files generated by this script updates everytime an update has come through, which is something I would not expect. Will do a revision in the following days.

@realies thanks for this, gets me fully onto telegram now and no more slack.

Working fine with manually creating the chatid file

@Ashe , did some bug fixes that can be seen here. Did retest in a clean environment and can't replicate the issue you were having. Feel free to test it yourself (note you also have to remove /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/notifications/agents/Telegram.sh if you do change NotificationAgents.xml).

 

Pretty sure @limetech will merge the changes for the next release.

Thanks@realies, once released I'll test the upgrade and if not will test on fresh install.

Yes they have been merged.  Please test and verify correct functionality.

 

Also, we received this on our twitter feed:

 

"I think the Telegram Support in 6.7.0+ is a bit weird. I would prefer to enter a ChatID and Token, instead that it keeps reading the /getUpdates chat IDs"

 

Any merit to this?

Tested under RC3, same problem as before.

There is no option to add the chatid therefore a chatid file is not created in the config just the tokenid. If I manually create a chatid file it works.


Far easier to have a chatid entry line in my opinion

Just seeing this now. I am still using the plugin without any issues, can someone report if there's anything wrong?

 

RE: Adding ChatID/Token text fields, am not aware this is currently possible with the way NotificationAgents.xml is parsed, perhaps @bonienl can shed some light on this?

It's not working for me at all, chatid file is not being created. Do I just create a chatid file in the same directory as the tokenid file, and paste the chatid in there?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, figured out that creating a "chatid" file and just putting it in the same folder as the token file makes this work. 

 

I don't understand why this doesn't have a Chat ID file and when it's populated unraid generates a chatid file and inside it it appends the 9 digit ID. It's not that difficult.

FIgured it out.

Yes, it's as simple as that. Would note after upgrading my main server to 6.7, it worked without chatid

Yeah figured it out. 

I'm on 6.7 and it wasn't working for me at all. 

I had to create a chatid file and once I did the test was successful. 

Prior to that it went nowhere with just the BOT token.

My test server is still on RC, will update to 6.7 and see whether that works without chatid

I am having issues as well setting up telegram agent in UnRAID.

 

I can make the same bot work in Radarr and Sonarr where the GUI lets me add the "chatID" in a field. But the Unraid notification agent settings GUI doesn't have this.

I get results in log and no error but nothing pops up on Telegram....

Nov 23 13:18:20 REMOTE ool www[9010]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'enable' 'Telegram.sh'
Nov 23 13:18:23 REMOTE ool www[9010]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'test' 'Telegram.sh'
Nov 23 13:20:27 REMOTE ool www[14897]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'test' 'Telegram.sh'

But setting up in a bot with Radarr docker on same UnRaid server works instantly, what am I missing?

 

Found this in my searching and trying to figure this out is it related - https://github.com/limetech/webgui/pull/512

Well I am not sure why but after throwing my hands in the air and leaving it alone for a day, notifications starting coming in on my UnRAID notification bot.

 

Now if I press the test button I get an instant message on telegram bot, yay But odd cause I didn't change anything just took a day to start working.

 

Only thing I can't get sorted is how to get unRAID bot to post in my custom telegram channel I have that all the other bots for various dockers and other stuff post in to keep telegram cleaner. In Radarr docker for instance I can add the chat ID of my Notification channel into a field beside my bots API key and then they post in my unified notification channel instead of each bot posting in their own thread.

I set it up on 12.10.2019 since then no message at all, test works of course...

I think you are supposed to be able to enter

'apikey:chatid' and it should work

However I just created a file called 'chatid' and entered the number in there

Hmmm thx for the info, Just tried "apikey:chatid" but test didn't work, perhaps a day delay again.... not sure as the APIkey for my bot has a " : " in it perhaps that mucks things up.

 

Nov 25 10:14:34 REMOTE ool www[5445]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'test' 'Telegram.sh'
Nov 25 10:14:51 REMOTE ool www[25433]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'enable' 'Telegram.sh'
Nov 25 10:14:54 REMOTE ool www[25433]: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/agent 'test' 'Telegram.sh'

first test listed in log above worked, then I add chatid with apikey using ":" in between and get no test message popup, to my eyes no error on either not sure why no results again once chatid added.

Where do you put this file? As I am just using the built in agent not a custom user script and an UnRAID nOOb still

I will wait and see if it starts working later with "apikey:chatid" if I patiently wait again, but another way if this fails would be welcome.

 

Not sure why its so easy cut and dry with other dockers, but built in UnRAID usage has been difficult for me

Awesome thank-you for the details, all sorted now notifications arriving in my alert channel now.

 

Easy once one know how but that said a simple chatid field in the UnRAID notification agent GUI for Telegram would sure be more user friendly than having to use terminal
