Telegram Driver is designed to send notifications using the popular Telegram messenger. The advantages of using Telegram is quickness of receiving notifications, no fee for the service and easy notification group management.
Telegram Driver is installed in accordance with the general sequence of installing Communicator drivers. The driver library file is KpTelegram.dll.
First you need to create a Telegram bot. To do this:
Configure notifications in the following sequence:
If the settings are correct, your bot will respond to commands, for example, the /help command.
To add or remove subscriptions to the group, use the /start and /stop commands with the previously generated password. However, by default, subscription changes are blocked. To unlock it, send a standard command number 2 with a value of 1 by Communicator. Now you can add or remove subscriptions.
To send a message from Rapid SCADA to a Telegram group, you need send a binary command number 1 containing the group name (or identifier) and the message text. For example: RapidScadaBotTestGroup; Test message.
Automatic sending of notifications in case of specific conditions and events are performed by Automatic Control Module.
