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