Hi everyone, I wanted to share a Node-RED flow I built to solve a common problem: missing important notifications and struggling with manual logs.
This flow automatically logs events to a MySQL database (with timestamps and all relevant data) while sending instant Telegram notifications with rich formatting, including images and multi-chat support. It also has built-in error handling and retry mechanisms to make sure alerts don’t get lost.
The setup is simple and should take about 15 minutes: just import the JSON flow, configure a few nodes like the database and Telegram bot tokens, and you’re live.
I’ve created a lightweight free version for those who want to try it out and a more feature-rich pro version with multi-tenant support and alert thresholds for people needing advanced configurations.
I’m happy to provide setup tips, answer questions, and hear any feedback or feature requests.
Has anyone else created similar flows, or do you have other strategies for reliable alerting and event logging in Node-RED?
