| | 71 | Install Telegram app in to your PC. ( If you are not a Telegram user, download Telegram app to your mobile phone and create an account). Log in using your account. |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | * Add BOT Father to your account. `https://t.me/botfather` |
| | 74 | * Generate a new bot with the command "/newbot" !BotFather is then asking for a username and a normal name. After that your bot is created and you get a HTTP token. (for more options for your bot type "/help") |
| | 75 | * Add your bot to telegram with the following url: `http://telegram.me/<botname>` to use app or `https://web.telegram.org/<botname>` to use in web, and send some text to the bot. |
| | 76 | * The !BotFather should have responded with a token, copy your token code and go to the following page in chrome: `https://api.telegram.org/bot<tokencode>/getUpdates` (this could take a while so continue to refresh until you see something similar to below) |
| | 77 | * You see a json code with the message you sent to the bot. Note the Chat id. In this example that is “-9787468” within this example: `"message":{"message_id":7,"from":"id":656556,"first_name":"Joo","last_name":"Doo","username":"!JohnDoo"},"chat":{"id":-9787468,"title":"Telegram Group"},"date":1435216924,"text":"Hi"}}]}`. |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | * Create a group with your BOT and add you and few of your colleagues who you needs to be notified. Add some sample messages to the group. Refresh `https://api.telegram.org/bot<tokencode>/getUpdates` pick the Chat ID of the group chat (which is not of the Bot itself we received earlier). |
