Telegram Setup

Telegram requires a TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and a TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID.

1. Get the Bot Token

1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather.
2. Start the chat and send /newbot.
3. Follow the prompts to set a display name and username (e.g., my_test_bot).
4. Copy the token provided (e.g., 123456:ABC-DEF...). This is your YOUR_BOT_TOKEN.

2. Get your Chat ID

1. Start a chat with your new bot and send any message (e.g., "hi").
2. In a browser, open: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates
3. In the JSON response, find the numeric id inside the chat object.

Environment Configuration

Add these to your .env file:

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="YOUR_CHAT_ID"
