Github Actions & Telegram Notification

#actionshackathon #github #opensource

This project is a telegram bot and build with node js and use telegraf as a chatbot framework.

My Workflow

Since I need to deploy the project to the VPS and using ssh, I use github actions to automate the process. The actions that I use are:

appleboy / ssh-action

GitHub Actions for executing remote ssh commands.

I use this action to connect to my VPS using SSH then run the deployment command.

appleboy / telegram-action

GitHub Action that sends a Telegram message.

After the deployment is complete, this action will notify me via telegram, I prefer to use telegram than the other messaging service.

And the repo where I use this workflow is here

yogiwisesa / telegram-ambil-ig
