Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security It's fast, simple, and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any number of your phones, tablets, or computers. This guide walks you through using Telegram to deliver notifications at different points of your data workflows on Deepnote (like delivering machine learning model training updates).
Deepnote and Telegram
How to set it up
The first step in integrating Telegram with your Deepnote notebooks is creating a Telegram bot. Luckily, all you need to do is message the Botfather (yes, that's the name of the bot that can create bots). Telegram provides great documentation and examples on how to create a bot using the Botfather.
Once you've created a bot, you'll need two pieces of information:
1.The BOT_TOKEN
This token allows Telegram to recognize you're authorized to use this bot to send messages.
2.The CHAT_ID
The ID of the chat you're trying to send your notifications to.
Take a look at this section of Telegram's documentation to find out where to retrieve your BOT_TOKEN and CHAT_ID. Once you've found them, consider storing both as environment variables in Deepnote for security purposes. Environment variables in Deepnote are encrypted and offer a secure way to store sensitive data.
How to use
Once you've stored the BOT_TOKEN and CHAT_ID as environment variables, all that's needed to send messages is a simple function that sends the notification string to you via Telegram's API. Here's an example of what that could look like:
1
import requests
2
import os
3
    
4
def telegram_sendtext(bot_message):
5
    send_text = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + os.environ["BOT_TOKEN"] + '/sendMessage'
6
    response = requests.get(send_text, params={'chat_id': os.environ["CHAT_ID"], 'parse_mode': 'Markdown', 'text': bot_message})
7
    return response.json()
