Set Bot with BotFather for Telegram

Follow these Tutorial to setup Bot with BotFather and Don’t Forget to add your Bot to the Group.

​
Get the chat_id of your Telegram Group

  1. Open https://web.telegram.org/ and Follow the instructions
  2. Click your Telegram Group and your Group chat_id is on your url like https://web.telegram.org/a/#-7222xxxxxx

​
Update Mage project settings

Once you’ve set up the Bot and get the chat_id of your group, you need to set the webhook like example below: Here is an example webhook (yours may vary): 
https://api.telegram.org/bot{your_token:from_botfather}/sendMessage?chat_id=-7222xxxxxx
Follow these steps to add that webhook URL to your project settings:
  1. Open the Mage tool in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:6789/).
  2. Open a pipeline and start editing it (e.g. http://localhost:6789/pipelines/example_pipeline/edit).
  3. In your left sidebar in the file browser, scroll all the way down and click on a file named metadata.yaml.
  4. In the metadata.yaml file, add a section with the following configuration or update the existing notification_config section: 
    notification_config:
  alert_on:
    - trigger_failure
    - trigger_passed_sla
    If you omit the alert_on section it will default to trigger_failure and trigger_passed_sla. Options:
    • trigger_failure: alert when a run of a trigger fails
    • trigger_success: alert when a run of a trigger succeeds
    • trigger_passed_sla: alert when a SLA is missed.
      • In this context, SLA (Service Level Agreement) is an expected amount of time for the pipeline to complete.
      • If the pipeline runs longer than the SLA, an alert will be sent.
  5. In the metadata.yaml file, add the following values: 
    notification_config:
  alert_on:
    ...
  telegram_config:
    webhook_url: ...
    Change the webhook_url value to be the webhook URL like mentioned above.

​
Customize message templates

You can customize message templates in notification_config. Here is an example config: 
notification_config:
  alert_on:
    ...
  telegram_config:
    ...
  message_templates:
    failure:
      title: 'Failed to execute pipeline {pipeline_uuid} at {execution_time}'
      summary: >
        Failed to execute pipeline {pipeline_run_url}.
        Pipeline uuid: {pipeline_uuid}. Trigger name: {pipeline_schedule_name}.
        Test custom message.
    success:
      title: ...
      summary: ...
    passed_sla:
      title: ...
      summary: ...
You can customize the message template for success, failure, passed_sla scenarios. For each message template, you can specify the sentence on summary and the title. To interpolate variables in the message template, you can use {variable_name} syntax. Here are the supported variables:
  1. execution_time
  2. pipeline_run_url
  3. pipeline_schedule_id
  4. pipeline_schedule_name
  5. pipeline_schedule_description
  6. pipeline_uuid
  7. error
    • available only for the failure message template
  8. stacktrace
    • available only for the failure message template
Note: For pipeline_run_url, the default host is http://localhost:6789. You can specify MAGE_PUBLIC_HOST to be the host url you want to use in the notification messages.

🚀 Pro Only: Interpolate Mage Variables in Message Templates

If you’re using Mage Pro, you can interpolate environment variables and other Mage variables directly in your Telegram message templates using the familiar Jinja-like syntax: 
notification_config:
  message_templates:
    failure:
      title: 'Failed to execute pipeline {pipeline_uuid} at {{ env_var('ENVIRONMENT') }} environment'
      summary: >
        Failed to execute pipeline {pipeline_run_url}.
        Pipeline uuid: {pipeline_uuid}. Trigger name: {pipeline_schedule_name}.
        Test custom message.
This makes your Telegram notifications more dynamic and context-aware — ideal for multi-environment deployments and advanced workflows.

What next?

Whenever a pipeline run is successfully completed or fails, a Telegram Group message will appear in the group you configured the webhook URL for. Here is an example of what that message could look like:
