Telegram notification channel

[garanda21]

First time contributing to this amazing project, hope you like!

Added Telegram notification channel, it looks like mail channel with multiple senders and threshold notification.

Telegram Bot Token must be configured on .env file:

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=999999:AAFT8KMLBD78HNFFNVGD

Result screen shoot:

Please let me know any issues!

This is awesome thank you! I'm offline for a couple days for the holiday so I'll review it next week.

@alexjustesen Should I also update documentation at https://github.com/alexjustesen/speedtest-tracker-docs with this new feature ? Or later when you ready to merge ?

I'll do it when I merge as new screenshots will need to be taken as well.

@garanda21 working on testing this tonight, where are you creating the bot token from? I'm getting an error (might be on the Telegram side) when trying to create an app in https://my.telegram.org/apps

[alexdelprete]

where are you creating the bot token from?

Start a chat with @BotFather on Telegram:

And this bot is also useful: @getidsbot

[alexdelprete]

I forgot the best one, relevant for this project: @speedtestidbot

[alexjustesen]

@garanda21 can you do me a favor and update your fork from main and resolve the conflict? I removed some dependencies since you forked.

[alexjustesen]

Did you mean to close it?

[garanda21]

Did you mean to close it?

Nop, I'm just resolving conflicts, but for some reason it deletes my commits.

I'm working for push my changes again, sorry for that...

[alexjustesen]

np, I'm going to test this out during lunch later

[garanda21]

Published changes again. Please let me know if you have any issues.

For configuration like @alexdelprete said, basically you just need few steps:

1. Create your telegram bot using: @BotFather
2. Use the Bot token ID generated on the previous step, and configure on .env file TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
3. Get your own Chat ID using @ get_id_bot and configure on Telegram Notifications section
4. Add yourself to your new created bot and start the bot

For configuration like @alexdelprete said, basically you just need few steps:

We should make sure docs are really clear about the process. Thanks for your work on this.

@garanda21 @alexdelprete you guys run into a 400 - Bad Request: chat not found error when following the steps above?

Never mind, I can't read. I didn't start a chat with the bot yet so that is definitely going in the directions.

Yeah I forgot to mention, that same happens when you forgot to setup the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN on .env file

difficult request: could the procedure be automated in the code? I mean, the creation of the bot, the token, then the Chat ID etc. It would be so cool...:)

@garanda21 Thanks for your work for this project , any chance you can add Discord Notification also if you have any free time ?

Very difficult indeed... I'm not quite sure, if you can interact with the @BotFather via API, because you need to send /start, /newbot, etc commands...

[alexdelprete]

I was thinking maybe Telegram had an API to interface bots..
