Following the last post, where I shared how to use Telegram’s bot; on this post I’m going to explain how implement it by Chat Nextcloud API. This post is useful for those have a Nexctcloud deployment running at home/cloud.

Assuming you have already Nextcloud up and running, we can create the new user, that we are gonna use it as “BOT” we will need the chat room token and the “BOT” credentials.

From one older post “Create a job using crontab” I used into my script the service exim4/ssmtp as mail server using gmail, but as we’re trying to walk away of Google’s jaw, I switched my notification engine to Telegram by an API service(bot)… almost it’s a step forward ! :)

Requirement:

Bot (Telegram)
Web Browser
Terminal(script)

I will assume you have already set up your Bot on Telegram with BotFather

When you have already created your Bot you can check by the API through a web browser
