Telegram Bot
The Telegram Bot node is used to define the parameters used to connect to the Telegram API. This allows Superalgos to interact with Telegram to send announcements and receive incoming commands.
The Telegram Bot node is used to define the
botToken and chatId parameters which are required by Superalgos to interact with the Telegram API. The
botToken parameter is provided by the Telegram Bot @BotFather. It is a 10 digit number, followed by a colon and then a 35 character (alpha-numeric but can also containing dash - and underscore _) string. It should be contained within quotes.
Example:
"1234567890:aBCdE_FG4hij0kLMnoP9qrsTUvw25-xyz31" Note: Once you create your bot make sure to start it and add it to the group you wish to send messages to.
The
chatId parameter is provided by the Telegram Bot @myidbot using the /getgroupid command. It is a negative 9 digit numeric number. It should be entered without quotes. Example:
-123456789 Example Configuration:
{
"botToken": "1234567890:aBCdE_FG4hij0kLMnoP9qrsTUvw25-xyz31",
"chatId": -123456789
} Initial Values
These are the Initial Values for Telegram Bot configuration:
{
"botToken": "Paste_the_bot_token_obtained_from_Telegram_Bot_Father",
"chatId": "Type_or_paste_the_chat_or_group_id_A_NUMBER_WITH_NO_QUOTES_where_announcements_are_going_to_be_sent_to"
