✈️ Telegram Notifications Channel for Laravel
License: MIT License
Languages: PHP, Blade
This package makes it easy to send Telegram notification using Telegram Bot API with Laravel.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require laravel-notification-channels/telegram
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')
],
For us to send notifications to your Telegram Bot user/channel or group, we need to know their Chat ID.
This can be done by fetching the updates for your Bot using the getUpdates
method as per Telegram Bot API docs.
An update is an object containing relevant fields based on the type of update it represents, some examples of an update object are message
, callback_query
, and poll
. For a complete list of fields, see Telegram Bot API docs.
To make things easier, the library comes with a handy method that can be used to get the updates from which you can parse the relevant Chat ID.
Please keep in mind the user has to first interact with your bot for you to be able to obtain their Chat ID which you can then store in your database for future interactions or notifications.
Here's an example of fetching an update:
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramUpdates;
// Response is an array of updates.
$updates = TelegramUpdates::create()
// (Optional). Get's the latest update. NOTE: All previous updates will be forgotten using this method.
// ->latest()
// (Optional). Limit to 2 updates (By default, updates starting with the earliest unconfirmed update are returned).
->limit(2)
// (Optional). Add more params to the request.
->options([
'timeout' => 0,
])
->get();
if($updates['ok']) {
// Chat ID
$chatId = $updates['result'][0]['message']['chat']['id'];
}
Note: This method will not work if an outgoing webhook is set up.
For a complete list of available parameters for the options
, see Telegram Bot API docs.
If you're using this notification channel in your Lumen project, you will have to add the below code in your bootstrap/app.php
file.
# bootstrap/app.php
// Make sure to create a "config/services.php" file and add the config from the above step.
$app->configure('services');
# Register the notification service providers.
$app->register(Illuminate\Notifications\NotificationServiceProvider::class);
$app->register(NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramServiceProvider::class);
You may not be able to send notifications if Telegram Bot API is not accessible in your country,
you can either set a proxy by following the instructions here or
use a web bridge by setting the base_uri
config above with the bridge uri.
You can set HTTPS_PROXY
in your .env
file.
You can now use the channel in your via()
method inside the Notification class.
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class InvoicePaid extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ["telegram"];
}
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!")
->line("Your invoice has been *PAID*")
->line("Thank you!")
// (Optional) Blade template for the content.
// ->view('notification', ['url' => $url])
// (Optional) Inline Buttons
->button('View Invoice', $url)
->button('Download Invoice', $url)
// (Optional) Inline Button with callback. You can handle callback in your bot instance
->buttonWithCallback('Confirm', 'confirm_invoice ' . $this->invoice->id);
}
}
Here's a screenshot preview of the above notification on Telegram Messenger:
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
return TelegramPoll::create()
->to($notifiable)
->question("Aren't Laravel Notification Channels awesome?")
->choices(['Yes', 'YEs', 'YES']);
}
Preview:
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
return TelegramContact::create()
->to($notifiable->telegram_user_id) // Optional
->firstName('John')
->lastName('Doe') // Optional
->phoneNumber('00000000');
}
Preview:
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
return TelegramFile::create()
->to($notifiable->telegram_user_id) // Optional
->content('Audio') // Optional Caption
->audio('/path/to/audio.mp3');
}
Preview:
public function toTelegram($notifiable)

->content('Awesome *bold* text and [inline URL](http://www.example.com/)')
->file('/storage/archive/6029014.jpg', 'photo'); // local photo
// OR using a helper method with or without a remote file.
// ->photo('https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/10/file_example_JPG_1MB.jpg');
}

}
Preview:
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
return TelegramFile::create()
->content('Woot! We can send animated gif notifications too!')
->animation('https://sample-videos.com/gif/2.gif');

// ->animation('/path/to/some/animated.gif');
}
Preview:
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 $this->telegram_user_id;
}
You can make use of the notification events to handle the response from Telegram. On success, your event listener will receive a Message object with various fields as appropriate to the notification type.
For a complete list of response fields, please refer the Telegram Bot API's Message object docs.
Sometimes you may need to send a notification to someone who is not stored as a "user" of your application. Using the
Notification::route
method, you may specify ad-hoc notification routing information before sending the notification. For more details, you can check out the on-demand notifications docs.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;
Notification::route('telegram', 'TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID')
->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
Using the notification facade you can send a notification to multiple recipients at once.
If you're sending bulk notifications to multiple users, the Telegram Bot API will not allow more than 30 messages per second or so. Consider spreading out notifications over large intervals of 8—12 hours for best results.
Also note that your bot will not be able to send more than 20 messages per minute to the same group.
If you go over the limit, you'll start getting
429
errors. For more details, refer Telegram Bots FAQ.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;
// Recipients can be an array of chat IDs or collection of notifiable entities.
Notification::send($recipients, new InvoicePaid());
These methods are optional and shared across all the API methods.
