Is it possible to alter the actual message sent to Telegram?

Is it possible to alter the actual message sent to Telegram?
I just want to send a simple message like "event x has occurred" instead of the whole boilerplate containing the severity, link, etc.

I'd also like this functionality without having to edit the bin file... Any update on this to allow users to customize their messages?

Hey @rmens,

Currently, the alert message is hard coded into the python script, so you would need to modify the python script to change the alert message:

You will want to change this specific line only in telegram.py inside the bin folder:

 message = "<b>****SPLUNK ALERT MESSAGE***</b>\n<b>Splunk Search</b>: {0} \n<b>SEVERITY</b>: {1} \n<b>MESSAGE</b>: {2} \n<b>Results Link</b>: {3}".format(splunkSearch, severity, message, resultsLink)

To This:

 message = "{0}".format(message)

That should only send the alert message. I have not tested this, but it should work.

I will work on making the alert more versatile as well for things like this and will hopefully have something to release in the next week or so.
