Live Stream Notifications for Mosques

A livestream only helps if the community knows it is on. With moschee.io notifications you invite people into the live room as the khutbah begins: as a post in your Telegram channel, a message in WhatsApp groups or channels, and a push notification on their phone. One tap on the link opens the right room.

You send the message as you enter the live room or later during the broadcast, without switching apps. What happens inside the room, from the audio broadcast to AI translation, is covered on the livestreaming and AI translation page.

Each channel is connected once for your organization and is then available in every live room:

• Telegram: your own bot posts to the selected chats, groups or channels. You create the bot once via BotFather, as the Telegram guide shows.
• WhatsApp: messages go to groups or channels of the connected account. The connection is unofficial and runs through WhatsApp Web as a linked device. Use a dedicated number, never a private one, because WhatsApp can restrict such numbers.
• moschee.io app: push notifications to your community in the official moschee.io app.
• Firebase: mosques with their own app send push notifications to a Firebase topic.

For each channel you pick a saved template or write a custom message for this room. Templates contain placeholders for the room name, organization, room link, date and time, and the preview shows the finished message with the room's values. Where the channel offers it, you can save a good custom message as a new template.

Before your first public announcement, send a test message to a private destination and check that the link opens the right room. The form checks beforehand that destination, topic and text are complete.

From setup to the first send:

1. Connect the channels your community uses under Organization → Integrations.
2. When setting up the live room, choose which channels announce it and which chats, groups or topic receive the message.
3. Check the preview and send a test message.
4. Send the invitation as you enter the room or later during the broadcast.

Your selection applies to this broadcast only or, where the flow offers it, is saved as an organization default. The notifications guide describes every option.

Bot tokens, Firebase service accounts and WhatsApp connections are organization settings, not settings of a single room. Treat them like passwords: never paste them into pages, screenshots or chats, and rotate the credentials when the group of people with access changes.
