milmilBot & Notifications
Set up Discord and Telegram bots with interactive commands and push notifications.
Overview
milmil supports interactive bot commands and push notifications through Telegram, Discord, and generic webhooks. Bots are first-class citizens — they can search anime, manage downloads, show schedules, and control subscriptions.
Bot Commands
Both Telegram and Discord bots support the same command set:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/start | Welcome message and command list |
/schedule | Weekly airing schedule with day-of-week grouping |
/search <query> | Search anime by title |
/detail <id> | Anime details with cover image and score |
/downloads | Active downloads with progress bars |
/subscribe <anime> | Set up auto-download for new episodes |
/status | System overview (uptime, disk, active streams) |
/mylist [status] | Your anime collection filtered by status |
/continue | Recently watched with resume links |
Interactive Features
Commands support inline buttons for quick actions:
- Search results — Buttons to view details, subscribe, or download
- Download list — Pause, resume, or cancel buttons
- Anime detail — Subscribe, add to collection, or start playback
Discord uses slash commands with autocomplete. Telegram uses inline keyboards and callback buttons.
Push Notifications
Configure which events trigger notifications:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Download Started | RSS rule triggers a new download |
| Download Completed | Download finishes successfully |
| Download Failed | Download encounters an error |
| Library Scan Complete | Library scan finishes processing |
| System Error | Background job fails unexpectedly |
Notifications include rich embeds (Discord) or formatted messages (Telegram) with anime cover images and metadata.
Security
Always configure Allowed Chat IDs (Telegram) or Allowed Guild IDs (Discord) to restrict who can interact with your bot. Without these restrictions, anyone who discovers your bot can control your milmil instance.
