Telegram Integration

Setup​

  1. Create a Bot: Talk to @BotFather on Telegram to create a new bot and get your Token.
  2. Get Your User ID: Talk to @userinfobot to get your numeric User ID.

Configuration​

Add the following to your config/social.json:

{
  "telegram": {
    "enabled": true,
    "token": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN",
    "allowed_users": ["YOUR_USER_ID"]
  }
}

[!IMPORTANT] Group Privacy Mode By default, Telegram bots cannot see messages in groups unless they are mentions or commands. To allow the bot to see all messages:

  1. Talk to @BotFather.
  2. Send /mybots > Select your bot > Bot Settings > Group Privacy.
  3. Select Turn off.
  4. Re-add the bot to the group if necessary.

[!NOTE] Suzent now strictly uses config/social.json for credentials. Environment variables are no longer supported.
