AndKo Notifier for MAX

Descripcion

AndKo Notifier for MAX removes the manual routine: as soon as a new post is published on your site, the plugin sends a message about it to your chosen chat or channel in the MAX messenger — no more copying titles, links, and hashtags by hand.

This plugin is built specifically for auto-publishing blog posts and is not a form-integration plugin. If you need to forward form submissions (Contact Form 7, etc.) to MAX, look for other plugins in the MAX category instead.

Free version features

  • Automatic message sending when a post is published
  • Manual send / resend — a button available both in the post list and in the editor
  • Flexible configuration: choose which post types trigger sending, enable/disable auto-publish
  • Built-in diagnostics: test the connection to the MAX API, find your Chat ID right from the admin screen
  • Support for uploading a Russian National Certification Authority certificate (for cases where the MAX API connection fails with an SSL error)
  • Clickable link to the post, an emoji before the title, and a category hashtag

Advanced formatting (AndKo Notifier Pro for MAX)

A separate paid add-on, AndKo Notifier Pro for MAX, adds:

  • An automatic table of contents built from the post’s H2/H3 headings, styled as a quote block
  • A custom emoji for each blog category
  • A hashtag that links directly to the category archive page
  • Attaching the post’s featured image to the message
  • A fully custom message template

Installing Pro is optional — the free version is fully self-contained and works without any time or usage limits.

External services

This plugin connects to one external service: the official MAX messenger Bot API (platform-api2.max.ru), in order to send messages on behalf of your bot to the selected chat or channel.

What is sent: the post title, its link, an excerpt (or the extended formatting described above if the Pro add-on is active), plus the bot token and chat ID you enter in the plugin settings — these are required to authorize the request and address the message correctly.

A request is only made when a post is published (if auto-publish is enabled) or when you manually click « Send to MAX ». No other site or visitor data is transmitted by this plugin.

This service is provided by the company responsible for the MAX messenger. Terms of use: https://legal.max.ru/ps

Additionally, if you encounter an SSL certificate error, the plugin offers an optional download of the Russian National Certification Authority certificate from gu-st.ru. This only happens when you explicitly click the upload button in the plugin settings and is unrelated to the plugin’s automatic operation.

FAQ

Do I need a separate server or webhooks?

No, the plugin communicates directly between your site and the MAX API — no additional services are required.

What should I do about an SSL certificate error?

Upload the Russian National Certification Authority certificate right from the plugin settings page — instructions and the upload button are on the settings screen.

Are drafts or scheduled posts sent?

No, a message is only sent once a post’s status changes to « Published ».

What does the paid version add?

The paid add-on (AndKo Notifier Pro for MAX) adds advanced message formatting — see the Description section for details.
