馃馃洜 Telegram Setup

This is optional and will send you all messages you would get by using the Slack integration. To add this functionality these steps are needed:

  1. add the BotFather
  2. create a custom Bot
  3. obtain your chatId

Setup Telegram

1. Add the BotFather

Open this link https://t.me/botfather and send him /start.

2. Create a new Bot

Send the BotFather /newbot and choose a name, this will show up as a chat name. Now you have to give it some random name which also has to be set as telegramBotUsername in the config.properties. Next send /token and select your newly created bot. Take the HTTP API token and set it as telegramApiToken in the config.

3. Obtain your chatId

Via your own Bot

Send @yourNewBot1334 a message, a simple Hello is enough. Now replace $(HTTP-TOKEN) in this link https://api.telegram.org/bot$(HTTP-TOKEN)/getUpdates and open it with a browser. Search for the "id" in this JSON response and save the number behind to the config.

Via @myidbot

Send a /start message to @myidbot (https://t.me/myidbot), followed by a /getid message. The bot will reply with your chat id. Put that to your config.
