External services
This plugin connects to external services. Both are optional and are only used when you configure them.
Supplier XML feeds (e.g. Prom.ua)
When you enter an XML feed URL in the settings, the plugin downloads that file during the initial import and during scheduled stock/price updates. Only a request to the URL you provide is made and no personal data is sent. The feed itself is provided by your supplier (for example Prom.ua); please refer to that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.
Telegram Bot API
If you enter a Telegram bot token and one or more chat IDs in the settings, the plugin sends notification messages to the Telegram Bot API (https://api.telegram.org) after an import or a stock/price update completes. The data sent includes your bot token, the target chat ID(s) and the text of the sync report (for example counts of updated or missing products). Requests are made only when Telegram notifications are configured and an update runs.
This service is provided by Telegram. By enabling notifications you agree to Telegram’s Terms of Service (https://telegram.org/tos) and Privacy Policy (https://telegram.org/privacy).
