Telegram
{% hint style="info" %} Users can optionally configure their own notifications in their user settings. {% endhint %}
Configuration
{% hint style="info" %} In order to configure Telegram notifications, you first need to create a bot.
Bots cannot initiate conversations with users, so users must have your bot added to a conversation in order to receive notifications. {% endhint %}
Bot Username (optional)
If this value is configured, users will be able to click a link to start a chat with your bot and configure their own personal notifications.
The bot username should end with _bot, and the @ prefix should be omitted.
Bot Authentication Token
At the end of the bot creation process, @BotFather will provide an authentication token.
Chat ID
To obtain your chat ID, simply create a new group chat, add @get_id_bot, and issue the /my_id command.
Send Silently (optional)
Optionally, notifications can be sent silently. Silent notifications send messages without notification sounds.
