Hello

is there a way to customize the %RESULT% prompt under --send-telegram-message. I have currently entered there:

--send-telegram-message=Duplicati %OPERATIONNAME% Report for %backup-name%: %PARSEDRESULT% %RESULT%

and as output I get:

I have tried to shorten the output using the send-telegram-max-log-lines function. No matter what number I enter here, nothing changes in the output.

Thanks for Help

That is because all the data is included in `%RESULT%, so the log lines just limit how many log lines to include.

Sadly we do not yet have a template system, which would let you get what you want.

The only workaround that I can think of is to add a script that can then read the result data and modify it to your liking, and then send it to Telegram.

Ok.
Thanks for answer.
