SafeUser – Registration Alerts for Telegram

Beschreibung

Registration Alerts for Telegram fires a customisable Telegram message every time a new user registers on your WordPress site — via the standard registration form, WooCommerce checkout, REST API, or the admin panel.

Free Features

  • Instant Telegram notification on every new user registration
  • Customisable message template with dynamic shortcodes ({display_name}, {user_login}, {user_email}, {role}, {source}, {site_name}, {admin_url})
  • Registration source detection (WooCommerce, form, admin, REST API, bulk import)
  • Non-blocking delivery — notifications are deferred to shutdown so checkout flows are never slowed
  • Auto-detect Chat ID from the bot’s recent messages
  • Live Telegram message preview in the admin
  • One-click token validation and test message
  • Supports private chats, groups, supergroups, and channels

Pro add-on (optional, separate plugin)

SafeUser Pro is a standalone add-on — distributed separately from this free plugin — that adds:

  • Role-Based Routing — send notifications to different Telegram chats per user role
  • Registration Insights — charts of registration trends by source and role

SafeUser Pro is not included in or required by this free plugin. Learn more: https://fnlpulse.com/safeuser/

Security

The bot token can be locked via a wp-config.php constant so it is never stored in the database:

define( 'REATG_BOT_TOKEN', 'your-token' );

External Services

This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org) — a third-party service operated by Telegram — to deliver notifications and configure your bot. This is required for the plugin to function.

What is sent and when:

  • On each new user registration: the plugin calls the sendMessage endpoint to deliver your notification. The message contains whatever fields you include in your template — by default this can be the new user’s username, email address, display name, role, and registration source.
  • When you save/validate the bot token or send a test message: the plugin calls the getMe and sendMessage endpoints to verify the token and chat.
  • When you click Auto-Detect: the plugin calls the getUpdates endpoint to read your bot’s recent messages and find your Chat ID.
  • Connectivity check: the plugin may make a request to api.telegram.org to confirm outbound HTTPS is available.

Your bot token is transmitted to Telegram as part of each API request. No data is sent to Telegram unless you have configured a bot token.

FAQ

How do I create a Telegram bot?

Open Telegram, search for @BotFather, send /newbot, and follow the prompts. Copy the token it gives you into the plugin settings.

How do I find my Chat ID?

Send any message to your bot, then click Auto-Detect in the plugin settings. The plugin calls getUpdates on your bot and returns the most recent chat ID automatically.

Does this slow down registration or WooCommerce checkout?

No. Notifications are sent on the shutdown hook, after the HTTP response is delivered. The user’s browser never waits for the Telegram API.

Can I send to a group or channel instead of a private chat?

Yes. Add the bot as an admin of the group or channel, then paste the group/channel Chat ID (usually a negative number starting with -100) into the settings.

Where is registration source data stored?

In user meta (_reatg_registration_source), used to populate the {source} placeholder. The plugin options are removed on uninstall.

Änderungsprotokoll

1.3.7

  • Fixed: Auto-Detect now clears any active webhook on the bot token before polling for messages — Telegram refuses getUpdates while a webhook is registered, which caused detection to fail with a „Conflict“ error.

1.3.6

  • Fixed: Auto-Detect Chat ID could miss a brand-new chat until a second message was sent; the bot’s first my_chat_member (start) event is now recognized too.

1.3.5

  • Fixed: Bot Token field no longer triggers the browser’s „save password“ prompt.
  • Fixed: Header subtitle left-aligned with the plugin title.

1.3.4

  • Changed: Admin menu label shortened to „SafeUser“.
  • Added: {profile_url} and {order_url} message template placeholders — {order_url} links to the user’s most recent WooCommerce order, if any.

1.3.3

  • Chore: Added screenshots/ to .gitignore for WordPress.org compliance.

  • Removed: Bundled Freemius SDK, all license checks, the analytics table/logging, and the bundled Chart.js library.
  • Added: Extension hooks (reatg_chat_id, reatg_user_registered, reatg_register_settings, reatg_admin_assets, reatg_settings_telegram_extra, reatg_insights_panel) so the add-on attaches without modifying core.
  • Added: uninstall.php to remove plugin options on uninstall.

1.2.75

  • Fixed: Corrected Freemius vendor path in bootstrap (dirname with 2 levels to reach plugin root).

1.2.74

  • Added: „External Services“ disclosure section for the Telegram Bot API.
