TowerTelegram

Error tracking and reporting to a Telegram chat (group or channel) using Tower.

It is a work-in-progress heavily inspired in the already existing TowerEmail structure, but using Telegram and telegex Telegram bot framework

Requirements

In order to use this reporter you must have a Telegram bot and provide your bot token and the chat ID (group or channel) in which you need to receive the reports.

Configuration

This reporter uses Telegex for the communication with the bot. In order to use a Telegram bot, it is necessary to specify the bot token for Telegex:

config :telegex, token: "<BOT_TOKEN>"

In addition you must specify your preferred adapter for the HTTP client. At the moment of writting this, Telegex supports Finch (recommended) and HTTPoison:

# With Finch
config :telegex, caller_adapter: Finch

# With HTTPoison
config :telegex, caller_adapter: HTTPoison

Check Telegex's Configuration section for more options and information.

You must also add the chat_id in which you want to receive the reports:

config :tower_telegram, chat_id: <chat_id>
