Telegram Notifications

Notifications are sent to a group with Topics. Each source routes to a different topic.

Quick Usage (CLI)

# Goes to 🔔 Alerts (default for CLI sessions)
notify "Task Done" "Finished implementing the feature"

# Specify source to route elsewhere
notify "Title" "Body" "jobs"     # → 🎯 Jobs
notify "Title" "Body" "email"    # → 📧 Email

Topic Routing

| Source | Routes To | Used By | |--------|-----------|---------| | alerts | 🔔 Alerts | CLI sessions (default), Golems | | claude | 💬 General | ClaudeGolem only (DO NOT use from CLI) | | nightshift | 🌙 Night Shift | Night Shift golem | | email | 📧 Email | EmailGolem | | jobs | 🎯 Jobs | JobGolem | | healthcheck | 🔔 Alerts | Daily healthcheck |

Note: ClaudeGolem chat goes to General (Telegram's default topic)

HTTP API (for TypeScript)

await fetch("http://localhost:3847/notify", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: "Title",
    body: "Message body",
    source: "alerts",  // or email, jobs, nightshift
    priority: "default",  // or "high" for urgent
  }),
});

When to Notify

DO notify:

• Task complete (commit, PR, feature done)
• Waiting for input (blocked, need decision)
• CLAUDE_COUNTER hits 0 (still working)
• Errors or failures

DON'T notify:

• Routine progress (reading files)
• Every small step
• Questions (use AskUserQuestion instead)

Tips

• Title: 2-4 words max
• Body: 1 sentence max
• Escaping: The notify CLI handles special chars automatically
• High priority: Only use for urgent issues needing immediate attention
