telme

CLI inline telegram bot notifications

TL;DR

1. Get a bot token ( BotFather )
2. $ npm install -g node-telme
3. $ telme --init
4. Do something :)

How do i get a bot token?

• Get a telegram bot token from the botFather
• Just talk to BotFather and follow a few simple steps. Once you've created a bot and received your authorization token, copy it for later

Configure telme

Simply run $ telme --init and follow the easy steps. You will need the bot token at this stage. This will help you generate a .telmeconfig file in your home directory. You can always run --init again to override values or just edit the file yourself.

Profiles

You can set multiple profiles, that will target different bots and/or different chats.

You can use the same bot in all profiles if you like. But the target chat can be different

To initialize a new profile:

$ telme --init --profile <profile_name>

Examples:

Simple message

$ telme --m "Message to send"

Task message

Task messages are a simple way to receive a message from your bot once a command has been finished. It will also let you know if you had any errors.

$ telme docker build . -t my-image/build/that/takes/for/ever

In this example, once the docker build has finished you will receive a message.

$ telme npm run test

$ telme do-a-long-task
