Telegram is slightly more complicated then some of the other notification services, so here is quick breakdown of what you need to know and do in order to send Notifications through it using this tool: Telegram is slightly more complicated then some of the other notification services, so here is quick breakdown of what you need to know and do in order to send Notifications through it using this tool
First off, Telegram notifications require you need to first access https://api.telegram.org and create a bot. After creating te bot, you will need to acquire it's Token Identifier (*bot_token*). At the very start, you will need to connect with a phone. The site uses your phone number as it's credential to let you into your account. So download the app first (via [Android](https://telegram.org/dl/android) or [Apple](https://telegram.org/dl/ios) and get it installed first.
Once you're set up, it can be a bit easy to just use their web interface [here](https://telegram.org/dl/webogram) with a PC (especially for development); but this part is up to you.

To do this you will be required in a chat with the **[BotFather](https://botsfortelegram.com/project/the-bot-father/)** to type: ```/newbot```. Answer the questions it asks after doing this (which get the name of it, etc). When you've completed this step, you will be provided an *bot_token* that looks something like this: ```123456789:alphanumeric_characters```.
