Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging and voice over IP service. Telegram client apps are available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, macOS and GNU/Linux. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio and files of any type.
1. Register a new Telegram Bot: send "/newbot" to @BotFather and follow the instructions. The token provided by @BotFather in the final step will be needed for configuring Zabbix webhook.
2. If you want to send personal notifications, you need to obtain chat ID of the user the bot should send messages to.
Send "/getid" to "@myidbot" in Telegram messenger.Ask the user to send "/start" to the bot, created in step 1. If you skip this step, Telegram bot won't be able to send messages to the user.
3.If you want to send group notifications, you need to obtain group ID of the group the bot should send messages to. To do so:
Add "@myidbot" and "@your_bot_name_here" to your group. Send "/getgroupid@myidbot" message in the group. In the group chat send "/start@your_bot_name_here". If you skip this step, Telegram bot won't be able to send messages to the group.
