## What it is
A GitHub Action that sends Telegram notification messages from CI/CD workflows. It uses the Telegram Bot API to deliver custom or default build notifications to chats, groups, or channels.

## Use cases
- send telegram notification when a github actions workflow runs
- notify a telegram channel on every push
- alert my team on telegram when a build fails
- send commit details to a telegram group from ci
- post deployment status to telegram from github actions

## When to choose
- you already use GitHub Actions and want Telegram notifications with minimal setup
- you want a maintained, MIT-licensed action with simple token/chat-id configuration

## When to avoid
- you use a CI system other than GitHub Actions
- you need rich Telegram features like inline keyboards or media uploads beyond simple messages
