Alert popup allows you to send each alert via a Telegram bot to some Telegram users or channels, the first thing you have to do is creating a Telegram bot via BotFather:

  1. Search and find the verified "BotFather":

Telegram BotFather

  1. Select it and start a conversation with it:

Telegram BotFather Conversation

  1. Send "/newbot" command, then provide a name and username for your bot:

Creating Telegram Bot

As you see on the screenshot it gives you an authorization token which I made it hidden with red color, now your bot is successfully created.

To use the bot on alert popup you have to first create a conversation with your bot or add it to a channel and send it a message, then you will be able to add the bot on the alert popup.

  1. If you want to receive the alerts on your own account or any other specific account start a conversation with the bot by searching its name and sending it a test message:

  1. If you want to send the alerts to a Telegram channel then you have to add the bot as one of your channel administrators (You can't add it as a normal member):
