Telegram Notifications Channel for Laravel
This package makes it easy to send Telegram notification using Telegram Bot API with Laravel.
Contents
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require laravel-notification-channels/telegram
Setting up your Telegram Bot
Talk to @BotFather and generate a Bot API Token.
Then, configure your Telegram Bot API Token:
// config/services.php
'telegram-bot-api' => [
'token' => env('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN', 'YOUR BOT TOKEN HERE')
],
(Optional) Proxy or Bridge Support
You may not be able to send notifications if Telegram Bot API is not accessible in your country,
you can either set a proxy by following the instructions here or
use a web bridge by setting the base_uri
config above with the bridge uri.
Usage
You can now use the channel in your via()
method inside the Notification class.
Text Notification
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class InvoicePaid extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [TelegramChannel::class];
}
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
$url = url('/invoice/' . $this->invoice->id);
return TelegramMessage::create()
// Optional recipient user id.
->to($notifiable->telegram_user_id)
// Markdown supported.
->content("Hello there!\nYour invoice has been *PAID*")
// (Optional) Blade template for the content.
// ->view('notification', ['url' => $url])
// (Optional) Inline Buttons
->button('View Invoice', $url)
->button('Download Invoice', $url);
}
}

Routing a Message
You can either send the notification by providing with the chat ID of the recipient to the to($chatId)
method like shown in the previous examples or add a routeNotificationForTelegram()
method in your notifiable model:
/**
* Route notifications for the Telegram channel.
*
* @return int
*/
public function routeNotificationForTelegram()
{
return $this->telegram_user_id;
}
Handling Response
You can make use of the notification events to handle the response from Telegram. On success, your event listener will receive a Message object with various fields as appropriate to the notification type.
For a complete list of response fields, please refer the Telegram Bot API's Message object docs.
On-Demand Notifications
Sometimes you may need to send a notification to someone who is not stored as a "user" of your application. Using the
Notification::route
method, you may specify ad-hoc notification routing information before sending the notification. For more details, you can check out the on-demand notifications docs.
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramChannel;
Notification::route('telegram', 'TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID')
->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
