Hello, you can use https://ifttt.com to create a custom applet using the Maker Webhooks service. Then, if it receives an HTTP request in a URL, it will send a email or smartphone push notification.
Which project did you follow for the ESP8266? It might be almost the exact same code

good day. sorry for the late reply. https://github.com/witnessmenow/push-notifications-arduino-esp8266 this is the one I have been working with. I have been having difficulty with it. I think because it is an old code and the libraries don’t match. I think I have it working now. haven’t gotten to test it. Do you have a recommended code? 

I didn’t get the Telegram bot to work but after reinstalling older libraries, I did get IFTTT to work.  

I’ve been using exclusively direct HTTP POST requests to IFTTT (I don’t use libraries), so it usually works regardless of any changes they make…

I will look into that. the ifttt seems to be working ok. Telegram is not. I can send a message from telegram to the esp 8266, but its not working the other way. I did get an echo bot to work, so I am looking into that. Telegram will be better if I can get it to work both ways. I haven’t seen anything that can be used to control the out put of the esp 8266 from ifttt. 

How are you sending the message from Telegram to ESP8266? Can you share how you’re doing it. Exactly, unfortunately you can’t directly control an ESP8266 output or send anything from IFTTT. Thanks

I’m still working on it. Using Echo bot example from the (universaltelegrambot library). There are a few examples on using it to turn on and off an LED. Progress is slow on this project because I can’t connect it to work WiFi.

This is what I have been working on. need a telegram bot

Have you tried using the official Examples of that library for the ESP32?

• https://github.com/witnessmenow/Universal-Arduino-Telegram-Bot/tree/master/examples/ESP32

I started there. I had the latest version or the Board installed and it wasn’t working. It’s working now. I’m working on making it work for my situation. Send text on motion. Then I can check camera and then turn on a light or open the front gate. It’s going good so far 

Sounds good. I haven’t had enough time to try this integration, but it definitely looks interesting and I can see a lot of applications for it.
