Notification / Popups with cBots running in the cloud
30 Aug 2024, 14:33


Hello relatively new to coding in C# and using c.algo.

I have added popup notifications within my c.Bot to notify me of key events or intervein in the event of errors in addition to the printing of the messages in the log. However when running the bot in the cloud these do not appear. I am assuming as it is not local to my machine. 

Dose the Message.Show() cause any issue with the running of bots in the cloud or is that part of the code inhibited so to speak?

I have tried linking my email with no success to send email notifications. (this is due to account authentication issues i am still working on)

This leaves me with x2 options a I'm aware of, which are:

  1. Create a new email address and have an independent email for notifications. (any recommended service providers are welcome.)
  2. Set up notification using a telegram account.

Are there any other way to to create notifications when running in the cloud?

Apologies if this is a repeated Thread

Hi there,

Sending emails or accessing the internet is not possible when running a cBot on the cloud. Read more information below
