Telegram

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

To forward notifications via Telegram, 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).
