Telegram integration

Integration
1

Has anybody tried Telegram integration using GitHub - python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot: We have made you a wrapper you can't refuse

It sounds promising if we can integrate and send messages from notification to telegram.

Both being open source, it would be a good fit.

I liked the topic, so I started working on it by making a custom app to send notifcation to Telegram.
Do you have any suggestions?

How can we add it to the Notifications if we do a custom app?

I duplicate the Doctype and make all the changes I need

Hi, I will be happy to share and cooperate with you or anyone interested in the topic.
I almost finish most of the work but it still needs some improvements and bug fix or adds more features.

I have tried to install the app, but it failes with below error:

raise ImportError('Module import failed for {0} ({1})'.format(doctype, module_name + ' Error: ' + str(e)))
ImportError: Module import failed for Telegram User Settings (erpnext_telegram_integration.erpnext_telegram_integration.doctype.telegram_user_settings.telegram_user_settings Error: No module named 'secrets')

I am not sure which secrets module does it look for. I checked the .py file but it didn’t show any references.

./env/bin/pip install secrets --upgrade

AttributeError: module ‘secrets’ has no attribute ‘token_hex’

From No module named `secrets` ¡ Issue #2 ¡ adamrehn/ue4-docker ¡ GitHub I realised that I needed to install python 3.6 to make it work.

Faced another problem because I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS it is necessary to install python 3.6 by using the instructions in solution at software installation - How do I install Python 3.6 using apt-get? - Ask Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6

Make sure old custom apps have the “pip requirements” removed.

I made a new commit to fix it and no need to secrets or to update python version

Does this work? I’ll love to try it in production.

14

I am using it in the production instance with no problems.

15

I use it in one of the to-go-live environment. It works.

16

Unfortunately, we cant use as Telegram is blocked in our country. Hope the WhatsApp integration comes through.

17

I think whatsapp integration is similar but much more expensive as they charge per message.

@youssef maybe rename SMS alerts to URL based Alerts as many other solutions that use URL based SMS and WhatsApp (Clickatel) can make use of it.
