Telegram - Goreleaser

For it to work, you'll need to create a new Telegram bot.

You should get a token, and export it as TELEGRAM_TOKEN.

You will also need to create a channel, and either its numerical ID or its @channelname.

You'll need to add your bot as a channel admin, and give it "Post Messages" permissions (it's inside the "Manage Messages" permission menu).

Then, you can add something like the following to your .goreleaser.yaml configuration file:

yaml

announce:
  telegram:
    # Whether it's enabled or not.
    #
    # Templates: allowed. {{< g_inline_version "v2.6" >}}
    enabled: true

    # Integer or `@` representation of your channel.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    chat_id: "@goreleasernews"

    # Specific thread ID to reply to.
    #
    # {{< g_inline_version "v2.15" >}}
    message_thread_id: 1234

    # Message template to use while publishing.
    #
    # Default: '{{ print .ProjectName " " .Tag " is out! Check it out at " .ReleaseURL | mdv2escape }}'.
    # Templates: allowed.
    message_template: '<a href="{{.ReleaseURL}}">{{ .ProjectName }} {{.Tag}}</a> is out!'

    # Parse mode.
    #
    # Valid options are 'MarkdownV2' and 'HTML'.
    #
    # Default: 'MarkdownV2'.
    parse_mode: HTML

You can format your message using MarkdownV2 or HTML, for reference, see the Telegram Formatting Options documentation.

[!NOTE] If you use MarkdownV2, it's probably easier to do {{ print "your message bits" | mdv2escape }} to prevent issues.

You can also follow our channel on Telegram if you'd like.
