Receiving Telegram-notifications using the built-in Telegram-bot is quite easy but needs a bit of configuration:
- Create a new Telegram-bot using the Botfather.
- Insert the received API-Token into your configuration-file as
telegramBotApiKey. - Start a conversation with the newly created bot to receive your personal user-id.
- Set this user-id as notification-target for the selected websites.
- Done!
You can use the following commands when chatting with your Telegram-bot:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/start |
Start a conversation and allow the bot to send messages to you. |
/id |
Receive your user-id. |
/server |
Get some information about the bot's server. |
