Integration with Telegram

Problem/Motivation

As the name suggests, integrating with Telegram would be a great feature to send notifications. Users would get instant and free delivery and a lot of addon options thanks to the Telegram Bot API.

Proposed resolution

Check the existing example integrations:

  1. Telega → (drupal module to create Telegram Bots)
  2. Monolog → (drupal module integrating monolog library) > Handler > TelegramBotHandler.php
  3. Telegram_bot module (only available on D7) that I could easily leverage with a Rules action (now would be ECA) to send a message (given a chat ID):
<?php

/**
 * Implements hook_rules_action_info() on behalf of the user module.
 */
function telegram_bot_notify_rules_action_info() {
  $defaults = array(
    'parameter' => array(
       'chat_id' => array(
         'type' => 'text',
         'label' => t('Telegram Chat ID'),
       ),
       'message' => array(
         'type' => 'text',
         'label' => t('Message to send'),
       ),
     ),
     'group' => t('Telegram Bot'),
  );
  $actions['telegram_bot_send'] = $defaults + array(
    'label' => t('Send message with Telegram Bot'),
    'base' => 'rules_action_telegram_bot_send',
  );
  return $actions;
}

/**
 * Action: Send a message to a chat with Telegram Bot.
 */
function rules_action_telegram_bot_send($chat_id, $message) {
  telegram_bot_api_request("sendMessage", ['chat_id' => $chat_id, "text" => $message]);
}

Remaining tasks

Given I'm a noob, I don't know yet what would be the best path to make this happen..

    I just found out a new D10 module which is similar to the D7 Telegram Bot I mentioned, which is Telegram API → . Maybe check that instead :)

    Hi! I'm a developer of that module. Yes, It's very simple now. It's a drupal service with one function - send message to telegram bot. We can use it in any custom code. I don't know "Push Framework" module and can't help with integration. We need to ask maintainers of "Push Framework"

    It would be great to get Telegram integration for Push Framework. It can be done easily by providing a channel plugin in the Telegram API module. That plugin needs to implement the \Drupal\push_framework\ChannelPluginInterface which only requires a couple of methods, and especially the send method will be the one that takes the message and actually sends it to Telegram through their API.

    You can find a number of other modules implementing that same interface at https://www.drupal.org/project/push_framework/ecosystem → and use their plugins as a blueprint.
