Telegram setup

Step-by-step: create a bot with BotFather, find your chat ID and connect it to UptimePush.

1. Create a bot

Open Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token; it looks like 123456789:AAH...

2. Start a chat or add the bot to a group

Send /start to your bot, or add it to a group and send any message. For channels, add the bot as an administrator.

3. Find the chat ID

In UptimePush, paste the token and click Detect chat ID. We read the latest message the bot received and fill in the ID. Alternatively, open https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates in a browser and read chat.id.
