Notification Types - System notifications - User registration alerts - User activity tracking - Exercise completion - Module completion - Achievement unlocks (including top 10 entries) - Error notifications - Security alerts - Performance monitoring - Daily summaries ### 2. Queue System - Redis-backed Bull queue - Automatic retry with exponential backoff - Job prioritization - Rate limiting (20 messages/minute) - Failed job tracking - Automatic job cleanup ### 3. Error Handling - Telegram API error mapping - Rate limiting detection (429) - Network error recovery - Invalid token handling (401) - Bot blocked detection (403) - Chat not found handling (400) ### 4. Message Templates - HTML formatting for rich messages - Consistent styling across all notifications - Emoji support for visual clarity - Timestamp formatting - Data sanitization (HTML escaping) - Truncation for long content ### 5. Monitoring & Health - Queue statistics - Notification statistics - Health check endpoints - Bot info retrieval - Worker status monitoring ## Usage Examples ### Basic Notification ```typescript import { notificationService } from './modules/notification'; await notificationService.sendSystemNotification( 'Server Started', 'Application server started successfully', { port: 3001, environment: 'production' } ); ``` ### User Registration ```typescript await notificationService.notifyNewUser({ userId: 'user-123', anonymousId: 'anon-456', username: 'john_doe', email: 'john@example.com', registeredAt: new Date().toISOString(), ipAddress: '192.168.1.1', }); ``` ### Error Notification ```typescript await notificationService.notifySystemError({ errorType: 'DatabaseError', errorMessage: 'Failed to connect to database', stackTrace: 'Error: ...', path: '/api/users', method: 'POST', statusCode: 500, }); ``` ### Module Completion ```typescript await notificationService.notifyModuleCompleted({ userId: 'user-123', anonymousId: 'anon-456', moduleName: 'Vectores y Espacios Vectoriales', moduleType: 'FUNDAMENTOS', finalScore: 95, totalPoints: 1250, exercisesCompleted: 45, timeSpentMinutes: 120, startedAt: startDate.toISOString(), completedAt: new Date().toISOString(), }); ``` ### Achievement Notification ```typescript await notificationService.notifyTop10Entry({ userId: 'user-123', anonymousId: 'anon-456', position: 5, points: 2500, exercisesCompleted: 120, streak: 15, }); ``` ## Testing ### Run All Tests ```bash npm run test:telegram ``` ### Manual Testing ```typescript import * as telegramTests from './scripts/test-telegram'; // Test specific component await telegramTests.testTelegramClient(); await telegramTests.testSystemNotification(); // Run all tests await telegramTests.runTests(); ``` ## Architecture Highlights ### Separation of Concerns - **Config**: Settings and validation - **Client**: HTTP communication with Telegram API - **Templates**: Message formatting - **Service**: Business logic and queue management - **Worker**: Background job processing ### Reliability Features - Automatic retry on failure - Exponential backoff for retries - Job persistence with Redis - Dead letter queue for failed jobs - Health checks for monitoring ### Performance Optimizations - Async queue processing - Rate limiting to avoid API limits - Connection pooling (via axios) - Efficient message formatting - Batch notification support ### Security Considerations - No Telegram exposure to end users - Bot token stored in environment variables - Admin-only chat ID - Input sanitization in templates - Error message filtering ## Dependencies - `axios`: HTTP client for Telegram API - `bull`: Queue system for async processing - `ioredis`: Redis client for queue - `date-fns`: Date formatting - `winston`: Logging - `uuid`: Unique ID generation ## Integration Points ### With Other Modules 1. **User Module**: Notify on new user registration 2. **Exercise Module**: Notify on exercise completion 3. **Progress Module**: Notify on module completion 4. **Ranking Module**: Notify on top 10 entry 5. **Achievement Module**: Notify on badge unlocks ### Example Integration ```typescript // In user registration handler import { notificationService } from './modules/notification'; async function handleUserRegistration(userData) { const user = await createUser(userData); // Notify admin await notificationService.notifyNewUser({ userId: user.id, anonymousId: user.anonymousId, username: user.username, email: user.email, registeredAt: user.createdAt.toISOString(), ipAddress: request.ip, }); return user; } ``` ## Monitoring ### Queue Statistics ```typescript import { getQueueStats } from './modules/notification'; const stats = await getQueueStats(); console.log(stats); // { // waiting: 5, // active: 2, // completed: 100, // failed: 3, // delayed: 0, // paused: false // } ``` ### Notification Statistics ```typescript const notificationStats = await notificationService.getStatistics(); console.log(notificationStats); // { // total: 150, // pending: 5, // sent: 140, // failed: 5, // todaySent: 25, // todayFailed: 2 // } ``` ## Production Checklist - [x] Bot token configured in environment - [x] Admin chat ID verified - [x] Redis connection configured - [x] Worker concurrency set appropriately - [x] Rate limiting configured - [x] Error handling implemented - [x] Logging configured - [x] Health checks enabled - [x] Retry logic configured - [x] Job cleanup configured - [x] Tests passing - [x] Documentation complete ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **Notifications not sending** - Check `TELEGRAM_ENABLED=true` - Verify bot token is valid - Confirm admin chat ID is correct - Check Redis connection 2. **Queue backing up** - Increase `WORKER_CONCURRENCY` - Check for rate limiting - Verify network connectivity 3. **High failure rate** - Check Telegram API status - Verify bot permissions - Review error logs - Check message formatting ## Future Enhancements Possible improvements: - Webhook support for instant updates - Multi-admin notifications - Notification grouping/batching - Custom notification scheduling - Notification history API - Metrics dashboard integration - Alert threshold configuration ## Conclusion The Telegram Notifications Module is fully implemented and ready for use. It provides: - **Complete notification system** with 9+ notification types - **Reliable delivery** with queue and retry logic - **Production-ready** with error handling and monitoring - **Well-documented** with comprehensive guides - **Tested** with automated test scripts - **Secure** with no end-user exposure - **Scalable** with async processing and rate limiting All files are in place and the module is ready to be integrated into the main application.
