Get notifications in Telegram and Slack
If your team communicates in Telegram or Slack, you can route PublishFi notifications — such as export completions, new comments, or publish events — directly into a channel or group. This keeps everyone informed without needing to check PublishFi manually.
Connecting via Zapier
The easiest way to send PublishFi events to Telegram or Slack is through Zapier (no code required):
- Create a new Zap in zapier.com.
- Set PublishFi as the trigger and choose the event (for example, "Export completed").
- Set Slack or Telegram as the action app.
- For Slack: choose a channel and write your notification message.
For Telegram: choose a chat or channel and write your message. - Test and activate the Zap.
Once live, your team receives an automatic message every time the trigger fires.
Slack: using incoming webhooks
If you prefer to connect directly without Zapier, Slack supports incoming webhooks:
- In your Slack workspace, go to Apps → Incoming Webhooks and create a new webhook for the channel you want.
- Copy the webhook URL.
- Use the webhook URL in any automation tool or script that sends a POST request when a PublishFi event occurs.
Telegram: using a bot
For Telegram, you can use the Telegram Bot API:
- Create a bot via @BotFather and copy the bot token.
- Add the bot to your channel or group.
- Use the bot token in Zapier's Telegram action, or in a custom script, to post messages to the channel.
Tips
- Tag specific team members in notification messages so the right person is alerted immediately.
- Keep notification messages short — include the project name, status, and a link to PublishFi.
- Use Zapier Filters to only notify on the events that matter (for example, only when a video is ready for client review, not every internal save).
