Notifications
Add Telegram or Discord as an extra channel for approval alerts, link your account with a one-time token, and act on approvals from chat.
You can add Telegram or Discord as an extra channel for approval requests. The Panel’s own in-browser notifications (the live cards on the Approvals page, plus optional Web Push) are always active — Telegram and Discord come on top.
The benefit of an extra channel is mobility. Your phone usually has the Telegram or Discord app and you can resolve an approval from there in a few seconds, including the four Allow/Deny buttons, without opening the Panel.
Pick one channel#
Open Settings → Notifications. The page shows your current channel, which is one of:
- Web only (default, no extra channel),
- Telegram, or
- Discord.
You can have at most one extra channel linked at a time. Switching from one to the other unlinks the previous one.
Link Telegram#
- Open Settings → Notifications and pick Telegram. The page shows a QR code and a deep link of the form
t.me/<your-bot>?start=lnk_<token>. - Open the link in Telegram (scan the QR with your phone or click the link if you are already on a desktop with Telegram). The bot replies as soon as it matches the token.
- The Panel detects the link within a few seconds, switches your notification channel to Telegram automatically, and shows your linked status.
After linking, the Imunify bot supports three commands inside your DM:
/start lnk_<token>— link a different account (only used during initial linking)./approvals— list your recent approval decisions./overrides— list your active overrides, with a button to revoke each one.
When a new approval is raised on one of your sensors, the bot sends you a DM with the event details and inline Allow/Deny buttons. Tap one of them to resolve the approval in real time — the Panel updates immediately too.
If anyone messages the bot without linking first, it replies with instructions pointing back to Settings → Notifications.
Link Discord#
- Open Settings → Notifications and pick Discord. The page shows a one-time
/link <token>command (with a copy button) plus a QR code that links to the Discord bot invite. - Add the bot to your Discord server (or open a DM with it). The QR or invite link does this for you.
- In a DM with the bot, send the
/link <token>slash command — or paste it as a plain message if your client cannot show slash commands. - The bot replies as soon as the token matches, and the Panel detects the link within a few seconds and switches your notification channel to Discord automatically.
The Discord bot supports the same three actions:
/link <token>— link your Discord account./unlink— remove the link./status— show whether you are linked and to which account.
All three also work as plain text messages, not just slash commands — useful when the slash-command UI is unavailable. Like Telegram, approval DMs from the Discord bot include Allow Once / Allow Always / Deny Once / Deny Always buttons and resolve approvals live.
Unlinking#
Pick Web only in Settings → Notifications. This unlinks Telegram or Discord, whichever you had, and stops sending approval DMs to that channel. You can re-link at any time by generating a new token from the same page.
Web Push (browser notifications)#
Web Push is the third notification channel and it is independent of Telegram and Discord. Enable it from the bell icon on the Approvals page — see Approvals page. Web Push works on desktop browsers out of the box; iOS additionally requires adding the site to your Home Screen so it runs as a PWA.
Multi-user setups#
The notification channel is per user, not per Panel. Each user account on the Panel has its own link to Telegram or Discord (or none), and approval DMs only go to the users who have a channel linked. Web notifications still go to every signed-in browser, and any user can resolve any approval — the first decision wins.
