Ignition Module

Telegram Alarm Notification Module

Send instant alarm notifications from Ignition SCADA to Telegram chats, groups, and channels. Rich formatting, interactive buttons, and free unlimited messaging.

The Problem

Without This Module

Traditional notification methods like email are slow and often ignored. SMS has character limits and no rich content. Teams need a modern, instant, and interactive way to receive and manage critical alerts.

  • Email notifications are slow and often ignored
  • SMS has character limits and no rich content
  • No way to send images, charts, or interactive buttons
  • Per-message costs add up with high-volume alerting
