Setting up Telegram notifications

Where to get the bot token?

1. Open Telegram, find @BotFather and write to him /start.

2. Create a bot with the command /newbot, come up with a name (e.g., "MyShopBot").

3. After creation, BotFather will send you a token — a long string like 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123w456. Copy it.

4. Paste this token into the Bot Token field in the module settings.

Where to get the recipient ID?

1. Find the bot @userinfobot in Telegram and write to him /start.

2. He will send you your ID — for example, 123456789. This is your personal identifier.

3. Paste this ID into the Recipient ID field in the module. If there are multiple recipients — write them comma-separated: 123456789,987654321

Where to get the group ID?

1. Add your bot to the group (via "Add members" → find it by name).

2. Write any message in the group, e.g., "Test".

3. Open the link in a browser: https://api.telegram.org/botВАШ_ТОКЕН/getUpdates (replace ВАШ_ТОКЕН with your bot’s token).

4. Find the chat_id of the group in the response — it will have a minus, e.g., -100123456789. This is the group ID.

5. Paste this ID into the Recipient ID field in the module. If there are multiple recipients — write them comma-separated: -123456789,-987654321

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Do not share the bot token and IDs with outsiders — this gives access to your notifications. If you accidentally "exposed" the token — generate a new one via @BotFather with the /revoke command.
