Hi,

You can create custom service action https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ice-actions.md and call telegram API there. You can utilize lib like: https://github.com/Eleirbag89/TelegramBotPHP

I'm still no idea how to create PHP code for the service action, do you have any example?

[edward7097]

shall i using workflow or any other method like hook for 3rd party notification rather than only Email?

In service action should be a PHP code for sending a message to Telegram. You can implement it via workflow or via a hook.

I got it working, but I'm with problems to understand what placeholders are available to use.
I tried the same placeholders I use on an Email Template and it didn't work.
May you explain where can I find the available placeholders, please?

Thanks
