Telegram bot with alerts

A personal project: a bot that watches a website for free appointment slots and instantly reports them in Telegram.

The task

Free appointment slots appear rarely and are gone within minutes. Checking by hand means refreshing a page for hours.

What I built

  1. Scheduled checks, more frequent at the times slots usually appear
  2. Automatically walks through the site's steps in a controlled browser
  3. Instant Telegram alert plus a sound signal
  4. Detects blocks and site errors, pauses and resumes on its own
  5. Stops before the final confirmation — the decision stays with a person
  6. Personal data is stored only locally and never sent anywhere

Tech stack

  • Node.js
  • Playwright
  • Telegram Bot API

Outcome

Instead of manual checks — an alert on your phone. The same approach works for businesses: tracking prices, stock or new requests on marketplaces.
