Telegram Notifications

Get failure alerts straight to your Telegram — available on Pro and Business plans. One setup, all your jobs covered.

Pro & Business only
Telegram alerts require a Pro or Business plan. Free plan users get email notifications only.

Why Telegram?

Email is great for documentation, but when a cron job fails at 3 AM, you need something you'll actually notice. If you're building Telegram bots or just live in the app day-to-day, a Telegram alert is instant and hard to miss. No inbox to check, no risk of it landing in spam.

How to set it up

  1. Create a Telegram bot — open Telegram, message @BotFather, run /newbot, and follow the prompts. You'll get a bot token like 7123456789:AAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
  2. Get your chat ID — send any message to your new bot, then open this URL in a browser (replace TOKEN with yours):
    https://api.telegram.org/botTOKEN/getUpdates
    Find the chat.id in the response. It's a number like 123456789. If you want alerts in a group chat, add the bot to the group first and it'll appear in getUpdates.
  3. Connect in QuzenixCron — go to Settings → Telegram, paste the bot token and chat ID, and click Save & Test. You'll get a test message immediately confirming it works.
Using an existing bot
If you already have a Telegram bot for your project, you can use the same one — just paste its token and your chat ID. QuzenixCron sends messages via sendMessage using your bot, so the alert looks like it came from your own bot.

What the alert looks like

When a job fails (after exhausting all retries), you'll receive a message like:

🚨 Job Failed: Telegram Bot Keepalive

URL: https://your-bot.onrender.com/ping
Status: 503 Service Unavailable
Attempts: 4 of 4
Time: 2026-04-27 03:12 UTC

→ View job in QuzenixCron

Per-job control

Telegram alerts follow the same settings as email alerts. In the job edit form under Reliability:

Notify on failure — toggle off to silence all alerts (email and Telegram) for that specific job.

Notify after N failures— set to 2 or 3 if the job is occasionally flaky. You won't get pinged for a one-off hiccup, only when it's been broken multiple times in a row.

Disconnecting

Go to Settings → Telegram and click Disconnect. All jobs immediately fall back to email-only alerts — nothing else changes.
