[Request] Webhook to Telegram

[xiNeRoar]

Dear devs,

Will there be any support to telegram bot or channel in foreseeable future?
I have tried a lot to figure out a way to connect with telegram but couldn't succeed.
Please consider to include telegram in your webhook plugin too >.<

I just connected the webhook plugin without issue. Sample for "Item Added":

1. Create a bot
2. https://api.telegram.org/bot{access_token}/sendPhoto
3. Body - this will send the poster with a caption "Item added to Jellyfin":

{
  "chat_id": insert_chat_id_here,
  "photo": "{{ServerUrl}}/Items/{{ItemId}}/Images/Primary",
{{#if_equals ItemType 'Season'}}
	"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
{{else}}
	{{#if_equals ItemType 'Episode'}}
		"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} S{{SeasonNumber00}}E{{EpisodeNumber00}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{else}}
		"caption": "{{{Name}}} ({{Year}}) has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{/if_equals}}
{{/if_equals}}
}

Dear devs,

Sorry to bother, may i know what should i type in to this field?

or how should i get it work? i am not so familiar with the code you paste. May i know where should i paste them to?
Thank you very much for your patience.

[crobibero]

You put the link from 2, replacing {access_token} with your bots access token.

Thank you crobibero!
And then i put below in "Template" field?

{
  "chat_id": insert_chat_id_here,
  "photo": "{{ServerUrl}}/Items/{{ItemId}}/Images/Primary",
{{#if_equals ItemType 'Season'}}
	"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
{{else}}
	{{#if_equals ItemType 'Episode'}}
		"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} S{{SeasonNumber00}}E{{EpisodeNumber00}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{else}}
		"caption": "{{{Name}}} ({{Year}}) has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{/if_equals}}
{{/if_equals}}
}

[crobibero]

Yes, replacing insert_chat_id_here with the chat that you want the messages to go to.

You can use this to get the chat id: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33862907

Thank you very much!
So i can customize the message in;

"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"

with markdown syntax, am i correct?

[crobibero]

I don’t know the capabilities of the Telegram api, I just got it working to confirm that it was possible

[xiNeRoar]

totally understand, thank you again for all the efforts :D

hello @crobibero. I copied this template but I'm getting this error:
[2021-05-04 11: 36: 17.949 -03: 00] [WRN] Error sending notification: "{" ok \ ": false, " error_code \ ": 400, " description \ ": " Bad Request: there is no photo in the request \ "}"

When I add new content.

[crobibero]

Please edit logging.default.json, add "Jellyfin.Plugin.Webhook": "Debug" to the overrides list (make sure to add a comma after "System": "Warning", then upload the log after trying to send another notification.

@crobibero I put this line but there was no change, no log keeps showing me the same thing

[xiNeRoar]

{
  "chat_id": insert_chat_id_here,
  "photo": "{{ServerUrl}}/Items/{{ItemId}}/Images/Primary",
{{#if_equals ItemType 'Season'}}
	"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
{{else}}
	{{#if_equals ItemType 'Episode'}}
		"caption": "{{{SeriesName}}} S{{SeasonNumber00}}E{{EpisodeNumber00}} {{{Name}}} has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{else}}
		"caption": "{{{Name}}} ({{Year}}) has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{/if_equals}}
{{/if_equals}}
}

Sorry to bother...is this template only work for TV shows since it contain "Season", "SeriesName" & "Episode" ? How can i edit it to only work for movie? And..is there anyway i can customize the template content? sorry to ask such newbie questions...

[crobibero]

This block here

	{{else}}
		"caption": "{{{Name}}} ({{Year}}) has been added to {{{ServerName}}}"
	{{/if_equals}}

is for things that aren't Season or Episode.
You can customize the template as much as you want, the template is just a sample to give you an idea of what to enter
