Current users of the Telegram may be not as much as with users of Whatsapp. But even then, we don’t give the decision that the Telegram was not better than Whatsapp. Thus a great many features of the Telegram is very useful but is not found on Whatsapp.

Integram

This time Oopsreview will give you a recommendation Telegram bot that hopefully can help integration of your colaboration tools. This bot it’s class Integram, for his can be accessed through the following pages https://integram.org/. Or the other way can be found to do a search on the Telegram application using the keyword @integram_bot.

Supported Integration

In this version Integram only support 5 integration options, that's it Trello, Gitlab, Bitbucket, Github,Webhook. Each has advantages and disadvantages that will certainly be discussed further in this post.

Integration with Gitlab

For Gitlab integrations, this bot will provide a webhooks link which needs to be deployed in the gitlab repository setting.

After click gitlab in Integram options. You will be given a link that becomes your webhook destination. For example in the picture bellow, i get the webhook address https://integram.org/mygitlabwebhook.

Add webhook to Gitlab Repository

The next step is to just add the webhook to your Gitlab repository. Just follow this step :

  • Open repository
  • settings
  • integration
  • paste webhook url and trigger you want to get
  • save

Wait for it

The above message appears when the repo is a member who does push. Messages may vary accorduing to the trigger peformed by the member

Advantages :

  • Unlimited integrations
  • One webhook for all repo

Disadvantages :

  • Integration can not be directed to other groups or bots.

Integration with Trello

From my experience using the Gitlab version, which for Trello is very much different. The simple plot is like this :

  • /start in integram
  • choose Trello
  • start bot
  • And then you are prompted to select the group that will be sent the message, just select is using the link provided

Start integration

  • Send this message /[email protected]_bot in the existing trello_bot group.
  • Then select the name of the board you want to input.
  • Change notifications as needed.

Advantages :

  • Unlimited integrations
  • Customization via chat
  • Support send message to group

Disadvantages :

  • For the moment, i have not found it yet

Integration with Github

From my experience using the Gitlab version, which for Trello is very much different. The simple plot is like this :

  • /start in integram
  • choose Github
  • Start bot
  • There are some commands you can do, but here I recommend that you authenticate using the available links. You can use this command /connect

Start Integration

Send command /newintegration to your Github bot, choose repository and group
that you want to connect. Done, Github integrates with Telegram is completed.

Advantages :

  • Unlimited integrations
  • Customization via chat
  • Support send message to group

Disadvantages :

  • For the moment, i have not found it yet
