# Telegram
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Users can optionally configure personal notifications in their user settings.
|
|
|
|
User notifications are separate from system notifications, and the available notification types are dependent on user permissions.
|

|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
In order to configure Telegram notifications, you first need to [create a bot](https://telegram.me/BotFather).
|
|
|
|
Bots **cannot** initiate conversations with users, so users must have your bot added to a conversation in order to receive notifications.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### Bot Username (optional)
|
|
|
|
If this value is configured, users will be able to click a link to start a chat with your bot and configure their own personal notifications.
|
|
|
|
The bot username should end with `_bot`, and the `@` prefix should be omitted.
|
|
|
|
### Bot Authentication Token
|
|
|
|
At the end of the bot creation process, [@BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather) will provide an authentication token.
|
|
|
|
### Chat ID
|
|
|
|
To obtain your chat ID, simply create a new group chat, add [@get_id_bot](https://telegram.me/get_id_bot), and issue the `/my_id` command.
|
|
|
|
### Send Silently (optional)
|
|
|
|
Optionally, notifications can be sent silently. Silent notifications send messages without notification sounds.
