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.
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 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)
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.
