Notifications: Telegram and Webhook#

PrivateFlare can notify you about domain and node status changes in two ways:

  • via Telegram — a simple notification in a chat;

  • via Webhook — a flexible automation tool that lets you trigger your own logic on events.

Webhook#

A webhook is an HTTP GET request that PrivateFlare sends to your URL when a domain or node status changes.

On your end, you can implement any response: switching nodes, restarting a service, updating a DNS record, and so on.

Examples:#

Webhook for domains:

http://yourwebhook.url?status={status}&domain={domain}

  • {status} — current status (online, offline)

  • {domain} — domain name

Webhook for nodes:

http://yourwebhook.url?status={status}&nodename={nodename}&nodeip={nodeip}

  • {status} — current status (online, offline)

  • {nodename} — node name

  • {nodeip} — node IP address

Telegram#

To receive notifications in Telegram, follow these steps:

  • Launch our Telegram bot.

  • It will send you a chat ID.

  • If you want to receive notifications in a group chat, add the bot to the group and send the /start command.

  • In the user settings in the service admin panel:

  • enable Telegram notifications,

  • enter the chat ID (you can specify multiple, separated by commas).

  • Save the settings.

All set — notifications will arrive automatically.

You’re awesome!
