Description Lari Taskula 2018-02-17 16:18:49 UTC
Create a Koha Telegram Bot to send notifications via Telegram instant messaging app.

Telegram is a popular instant messaging application alternative to WhatsApp. Telegram has an API for writing bots that interact with users. This could be used to send Koha's notifications for free directly into patron's Telegram app.

Currently just a thought but I'm curious if our community has interest in supporting instant messaging apps for notifications.
