Telegram - First steps

Before you can use the "Telegram Notification" functionality, you need to set up a bot. Below you can see how to do this.

Create Bot and obtain token

  • Talk to BotFather, grap your phone where telegram is installed and goto @BotFather in Telegram or goto: https://telegram.me/botfather

  • Create a new Bot: /newbot

  • Enter name of your Bot: FirstWarningBot

  • Enter username for Bot: FirstWarningBot

  • Then you will see a token, something like this: 110201543:AAHdqTcvCH1vGWJxfSeofSAs0K5PALDsaw - Copy token

  • In Telegram write: /setjoingroups

  • Select the Bot that should join the Alarm group: Click the Bot and Click Enable

  • Add the Bot to the group, the same procedure as when adding a normal person to a group.

  • You and the Bot should now be members of the Alarm group.

Obtain chatID

  • Now you need to get the ChatID for the group

  • Then go to url: https://api.telegram.org/botYOURBOTTOKENTHATYOUCOPIEDABOVE/getUpdates Replace YOURBOTTOKENTHATYOUCOPIEDABOVE with your bot token. Remember to write bot just before your token in the url

  • Look for "chat":{"id":-yyyyyyyyy, -yyyyyyyyy is the groups chatid (it should have a negative sign)

Now you have both the Bot's token and Group's chatID. Have Fun.
