You don't want to deal with complex webhooks or maintain a long-polling daemon just to get a notification on your phone. This Connector solves that by providing a clean, one-way bridge to Telegram. You just give your agent a bot token and a chat ID, and it can start pushing updates immediately. It handles the heavy lifting of the Telegram API so you don't have to. Because it's designed for notifications, it's incredibly secure. Your agent can't read your private messages or see who's in your groups; it can only send messages out. It also supports proper formatting, so your alerts can have bold headers, code blocks, and clickable links instead of being a wall of plain text. It's a simple way to give your AI a voice on your mobile device. When you find this in the Vinkius catalog, you'll see it's built for speed and simplicity. It's the quickest way to get your agent to ping your phone with status updates, build failures, or any other critical info without overcomplicating your setup. ## Tools ### send_telegram_message Sends a message to a Telegram chat or channel with optional HTML or MarkdownV2 formatting. It's perfect for pushing alerts or status updates to your phone. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Send a Telegram message saying the nightly build failed. ``` **Response:** ``` I've sent the failure notification to your Telegram chat. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Send an alert to Telegram. Format it in HTML with bold text for 'CRITICAL'. ``` **Response:** ``` The HTML formatted alert with bold **CRITICAL** text has been delivered to your Telegram chat. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Tell my team in Telegram that the data migration is 50% done. ``` **Response:** ``` I've sent an update to your Telegram group. It now shows: **Migration Progress: 50%** ``` ## Capabilities ### Send push notifications to mobile devices Your agent can send messages directly to your phone via the Telegram app. ### Format messages with bold text and links The agent can use HTML or MarkdownV2 to make alerts easier to read. ### Create alerts for automated build failures Your agent can push specific error logs to your chat the moment a task fails. ### Post status updates to group chats Keep your team informed by having the agent post progress updates to a shared channel. ### Deliver code blocks for error logging The agent can send formatted code snippets so you can see exactly what went wrong. ## Use Cases ### Build Failures A CI/CD pipeline fails, and the agent uses send_telegram_message to ping the dev team with the error log. ### Long Tasks An agent is processing a large dataset and sends a 50% complete update to a private chat every 10 minutes. ### Security Alerts A security script detects an unauthorized login and has the agent send a high-priority alert to a Telegram group. ### Status Summaries At the end of the day, an agent sends a formatted summary of completed tasks to a project management channel. ## Benefits - Get real-time mobile alerts without setting up a dedicated server or managing complex webhooks. - Use send_telegram_message to push formatted text like bold headers and code blocks for better readability. - Keep your data private because this Connector is one-way and cannot read your chat history or private messages. - Send updates to group chats or channels to keep your whole team informed of agent progress. - Eliminate the need for manual dashboard checking by having the agent ping you when a task finishes. ## How It Works The bottom line is your AI gets a direct line to your Telegram app without any complex infrastructure. 1.
