Plugin adds new section "Telegram Notifier" under profile and administration pages.
Enter bot token. What it is? To use telegram plugin you should create telegram bot.
It sends messages to subscribers.
Firstly find BotFather (case sensitive) bot. Then send /newbot
command. Enter name and username of new bot. After that, response should contains
line like 110201543:AAHdqTcvCH1vGWJxfSeofSAs0K5PALDsaw. It's bot token.
More information about creation of bots you can find in Telegram documentation.
Telegram bot can't send messages by username or to user who never write to it.
So when Teamcity is running send any message to bot. Response should
contains you chat id. Add that chat id under profile page.
- This sources contains freemarker templates from Teamcity Jabber plugin. Maybe it violates license. Anybody can view and edit this resources. And this is officially supported by Jetbrains. So I hope there is no problem. But in any case I hope I will be able to know it soon. Of course plugin can simply use same templates from jabber config directory directly, but it's strange.
- Managing build start from Telegram application.
- Right know I don't understand how to properly test Teamcity plugins.
