# To use this plugin, you need to first access https://api.telegram.org
# You need to create a bot and acquire it's Token Identifier (bot_token)
#
# Basically you need to create a chat with a user called the 'BotFather'
# and type: /newbot
#
# Then follow through the wizard, it will provide you an api key
# that looks like this:123456789:alphanumeri_characters
#
# For each chat_id a bot joins will have a chat_id associated with it.
# You will need this value as well to send the notification.
#
# Log into the webpage version of the site if you like by accessing:
#    https://web.telegram.org
#
# You can't check out to see if your entry is working using:
#    https://api.telegram.org/botAPI_KEY/getMe
#
#    Pay attention to the word 'bot' that must be present infront of your
#    api key that the BotFather gave you.
#
#  For example, a url might look like this:
#    https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:alphanumeric_characters/getMe
