Suggestion: Telegram option for alert? #11

(I've never used github so idk if I leave suggestion in here, sorry if wrong place, but some mod on discourse locked your thread and I'd suggestion to add).

Me as newb to raspberry pi, easily followed the guide and got your pi.alert installed, and I like it!

What I'd like and use, would be if the alerts could be sent to Telegram. Perhaps to also add those alert options in the GUI. Now the info in mail is a lot and then perhaps make it customizable (kind of what I can with RemoteBot app for telegram), such as adding variable where I can have text be: [Device-Type] has [Event-Type] at [Time] or so, simply personally I'd just need the name of device which I've edited in pi.alert to be said if it has connected or disconnected and perhaps at which time (if there would be some delay(?). Would be perfect to me. Same if it's able to do on newly connected devices.

(was kind of able do this before, on TP-Link router I have and IFTTT, but they disconnected their service together)

You can select whats devices are informed to you with the "Alert all events" checkbox, "Alert Down" and "Skip repeated notification".

Telegram can be a good channel to report alerts.

noted the suggestion.

Yes! Telegram would be great thanks. Thank you for this project btw (my first install on dietpi yesterday only detected router, but will try again)
