📨🚕 can route notifications via the Telegram network, as private messages or channel posts.

To forward notifications via Telegram, contact the msgtaxibot on Telegram and start the conversation. Then, in the 📨🚕 console, simply select the “Telegram” target and add the chat ID as “Destination”.

Finding your chat ID is a bit tricky. The easiest way to do it is to search for the bot @RawDataBot (named “Telegram Bot Raw” with over 24k monthly users) via the search function on Telegram Web and start a chat with it.

As soon as you start the chat, the bot will reply with a JSON similar to this:

{
  "update_id": 850854743,
  "message": {
    "message_id": 3713382,
    "from": {
      "id": 8261715380,
      "is_bot": false,
      "first_name": "Your Firstname",
      "username": "YOUR-USERNAME",
      "language_code": "en"
    },
    "chat": {
      "id": 8261715380,
      "first_name": "Your Firstname",
      "username": "YOUR-USERNAME",
      "type": "private"
    },
    "date": 1753828341,
    "text": "/start",
    "entities": [
      {
        "offset": 0,
        "length": 6,
        "type": "bot_command"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The ID that you’re looking for is inside the "chat" object in "id" (8261715380 in this case).
