Telegram bot sendMessage support

bublik56 years ago

Hello!

Any chance to add telegram support to server? Just like an alternative to emails.
API is very simple https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage
You don't need any libraries, only simple url download like
https://api.telegram.org/bot123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11/sendMessage?text=...

User should set bot api key and telegram ids for each user (or even device would be better).
By providing user_id we can post to groups, channels, not only to private chats.
That would be awesome!

As for now we have to use email-telegram bots like etlgr one but they don't provide full message text customization, support for groups, have other limitations and may be not so reliable as a private dedicated Traccar server.

The only caveat is to add support for socks5 proxy while using https://api.telegram.org
Just if you have your Traccar server on Russian server )

There is no plan at the moment, but you are welcome to contribute to the project and implement it.
