Monitor CI/CD build status in Telegram
Route the build results that matter — a failed pipeline on your main branch — to where the team will actually see it, without the green-build noise.

the event
You emit ci.build.finished with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.
- repostring
- branchstring
- statusstringpassed | failed
- commitstringsha
- duration_msnumber
emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("ci.build.finished", {
repo: process.env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY,
branch: process.env.GITHUB_REF_NAME,
status: job.status,
commit: process.env.GITHUB_SHA,
duration_ms: job.duration,
});route it to Telegram
Message a person, group, or channel through a connected bot.
- 01
connect a bot
Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.
- 02
start a chat
Send /start to the bot from the target chat — or add it to the group/channel — then pick the chat from the list.
- 03
format the text
Messages use MarkdownV2; the default template bolds the event name and lists fields. Reserved characters in field values are escaped for you.

notes
- Telegram caps a bot at roughly 30 messages per second overall, and one per second to a single chat.
- The bot must be added to a group — and promoted to admin for a channel — before it can post.
- MarkdownV2 requires escaping characters like _ * [ ] ( ); ingestlayer escapes field values, but custom templates are your responsibility.
questions
- Can I mute passing builds?
- Filter to failures on protected branches, so a red main build pings the team and routine green runs don't.
- Do I need a CI plugin?
- No — emit the event from a final pipeline step with the SDK or a curl call. Any CI that can run a script can report.
- Can I track build time over weeks?
- Send every build to Postgres with duration_ms; the trend is then a query, independent of which builds alerted.
