# Telegram
{% hint style="info" %}
All notification types will be sent to the chat ID configured in your Overseerr application settings.
If a user has configured a chat ID and has **Enable Notifications** checked in their Telegram notification user settings as well, they will be sent the following notification types for requests which they submit:
- Media Approved (does not include automatic approvals)
- Media Declined
- Media Available
{% endhint %}
## Configuration
{% hint style="info" %}
In order to configure Telegram notifications, you first need to [create a bot](https://telegram.me/BotFather).
Bots **cannot** initiate conversations with users, 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 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](https://telegram.me/botfather) will provide an authentication token.
### Chat ID
To obtain your chat ID, simply create a new group chat, add [@get_id_bot](https://telegram.me/get_id_bot), and issue the `/my_id` command.
### Send Silently (optional)
Instagram allows you to enable silent notifications. Those will present a pop-up to the user, but will not make any sound. That's a per user configuration.
