Notifications

The updater can notify you whenever it pushes record changes (and when a batch update fails). Both channels are optional and disabled by default.

Telegram

1. Talk to @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token.
2. Get your chat ID: send any message to your new bot, then open https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates in a browser and read chat.id from the response. (For a group, add the bot to the group first.)
3. Configure:

notifications:
  telegram:
    enabled: true
    bot_token: "123456789:AAF..."
    chat_id: "123456789"

Message text is URL-encoded automatically, so IPs and spaces arrive intact.

Discord

1. In your server: Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook.
2. Pick the channel and copy the webhook URL.
3. Configure:

notifications:
  discord:
    enabled: true
    webhook_url: "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."

Message content is JSON-escaped automatically.

When are notifications sent?

• After a successful batch update: one message listing how many records changed and the new IP(s).
• After a failed batch update: a failure notice.
• Never when nothing changed — a quiet cron run stays quiet.
