This article describes how to configure scripts for sending webhooks for chats in Telegram or to an external system. Scripts for webhooks are configured separately from the main script.
¶ Create a script to send a webhook
¶ In Telegram
- Create a new bot via BotFather in Telegram. For more information about creating a Telegram bot, see Create a bot in Telegram in Integrating Chat with Telegram.
Full integration of the bot with chat is not necessary, as the bot will only be used to send notifications.
-
Go to the Bots section of personal account.
-
Create a new scenario.
-
Set the Result block.
-
Add the following variables to the block:
text- notification text. Specify variables from your main bot to be sent to telegram.bot_token- token of your bot, generated by BotFather, to which notifications will be sent.chat_id- identifier of the chat where the notification will be sent. To get it, use the bot command/getid.
-
Set the Request block.
-
Click Open request editor in the block in the Request field.
-
Click the cURL tab.
-
Paste the following code:
cURL
curl 'https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot_token}/sendMessage' -X 'POST' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"chat_id":"{chat_id}","parse_mode":"HTML","text":"{text}"}'
- Save the scenario.
¶ To an external system
-
Go to the Bots section of personal account.
-
Create a new script.
-
Set the Request block.
-
Click Open request editor in the block in the Request field.
-
Fill in the following fields in the block:
- Method: POST.
- URL - specify the address of your system where the webhook should arrive. For example, an address with webhooksite.
- Request body: JSON:
- Key - specify the name of the field, e.g. Name, Phone.
- Value - specify a variable that is stored in the main script.
All variables transferred from one script to another are saved
- Click Save.
- Save the script.
Example request
{
“Name": ”Peter”,
“Phone": ”79000000000”
}
¶ Chat settings
-
Go to Chat bots → Settings in your personal cabinet.
-
Hover your cursor over the bot whose information you want to send to Telegram or an external system and click
. -
Select a previously created script from the drop-down list in the window that opens in the fields:
- Switch to Bot after session completed by client.
- Switch to Bot after session completed by operator.
- Switch to Bot after session is ended by lifetime.
- Transfer to a bot after an error sending a message.
-
Click Save.
Now, when the bot terminates or its session lifetime expires, it will be transferred to the specified script, from which all the specified variables will be sent to Telegram chat or to an external system.
