Hey there :wave:

I’ve created this Telegram Bot to help users to get notified when a new topic is released on any Discourse community:

https://github.com/barreeeiroo/TeBoRs/tree/discourse

Check the Discourse branch

A demo is avaliable here:

The bot can be hosted in the same server as the community, so you won’t have to buy or request a new one!
