Very nice. I use a telegram bot for doing this as telegram API also makes it a simple GET request to send such notifications to yourself (once you have created a bot). Also it's surprisingly hard to kill telegram for some reason so it's kinda robust. My stupid mi phone is quite aggresive in killing most background apps except whatsapp and telegram.

I use telegram for this too. Big reason is I can create groups and add people to such notifications. Super easy. I have some scheduled ci/cd pipelines that send notifications. Just scroll up for history. This setup has been working with no changes needed for couple years, no hiccups. Love it.

I find telegram messages only get insta-delivered about half the time. The other half, they're delayed till I next re-open the app. Doesn't seem to happen with any other app. I suspect it's because I'm subscribed to too many high traffic group chats, and even though they're muted, the telegram servers still send large numbers of push notifications for them, which eventually start hitting some rate limit and everything gets dropped - even for unmuted conversations.

The other half, they're delayed till I next re-open the app. Doesn't seem to happen with any other app. That happens to me with WhatsApp. Curiously a message to Telegram kicks it back into gear too. My fiancee first messages me 'calling' on Telegram before calling on WhatsApp, because she figured out (remotely, by experience) that otherwise it often doesn't ring.

Same. I also use Telegram for this purpose, works incredibly well for this purpose.
