For those cases when you need a quick response to what happened in scripts — you want to have an alert in instant messengers.
Google’s examples contain code for integrating with Slack — https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/examples/slack. But at some point I had to write an integration with Telegram as well:
function main() {
var CONFIG = {
// The token must be obtained from BotFather by creating a new bot
TOKEN: '0987654321:QQQWWWEEERRRTTTYYYUUUIIIOOOPPP111222333',
// Write something in the chat to your bot, then follow the link https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates
// find the line in the response text ..."chat":{"id":123456789,"first_name"... you need an id value.
CHAT_ID: '123456789'
};
var message = 'Hello world!';
sendTelegramMessage(message);
function sendTelegramMessage(text) {
var telegramUrl = `https://api.telegram.org/bot${CONFIG.TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id=${CONFIG.CHAT_ID}&text=`;
var message = encodeURIComponent(text);
var sendMessageUrl = telegramUrl + message;
var options = {
method: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json'
};
UrlFetchApp.fetch(sendMessageUrl, options);
}
}
