December 3, 20196 yr I've just started playing with this, and am trying to get notifications on 2 devices for a server (there are two of us admins for it). I created the Bot, and the other person has added the bot. My telegram gets the notifications without issue, but the second person is not getting any notifications. Am I doing something wrong?
December 14, 20196 yr found out , that this part had to be enabled also Edited December 14, 20196 yr by killeriq

February 19, 20206 yr Hi all, I tried to set it up but it doesn't work. This is what I've done: -enabled agent in unraid ui - activated agent notification -created a folder in /boot/config called telegram and a chatid file with my id taken using IDbot. What I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!
February 19, 20206 yr The telegram folder should have been created automatically when you set it up in the notification settings. Can you check if the is a Telegram folder under boot/config/plugins/dynamix/notifications? Edit /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/notifications/agents This should have a Telegram.sh file in there

The file exist. And it has inside info like my bot id.
February 19, 20206 yr I think the only option is to manually clear the files and try again via the webgui Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

March 9, 20206 yr Hello, Telegram Notification doesnt work: I've copy the bot token & APPLY but with pressing TEST nothing happened.... Also i've try these (posted before), but no working more....

March 11, 20206 yr Ah yes the Telegram API requires both chat id and message text to function: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage The chat_id parameter is part of the test script in Telegram.sh, but in my case (and I guess I'm not alone) the 'chatid' file that is referenced does not exist. If you create it like DavKBe mentions, it is read and the test script works immediately. What I did was create my own Telegram channel, so I can have multiple bots in there. Applications report to their own bot, and by setting the 'Sign messages' option, the bot name is shown. That way I know where the message is coming from. When the channel is there, add @get_id_bot to it. This bot will respond to each message with the chat ID. Once you have it, remove the bot. That is the chat ID you need to add to the 'chatid' file (including the - prefix). Creating you own bot is easy using @BotFather. Just send that bot a message and start the conversation with /newbot. After naming your shiny new companion, the process will end with the BotFather confirming your bot creation and the access api you need. You can test your bot manually by simply using a HTTP call (replace <bot_access_api> and <chat_id> with your values): https://api.telegram.org/bot<bot_access_api>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chat_id>&text=test

Because this is not working for me: cd /boot/config/telegram Nano chatid Add chatid number to file Ctrl-x Save Thank you!
March 12, 20206 yr 6 hours ago, norbertt said: "Because this is not working for me" Have you tried to send a message to your bot using the HTTP call? Simply from a browser. As long as your bot token is correct, the chat id is correct and the bot is in the chat... should work. Then at least you know technically it could work and the error is on unRAID side.
April 1, 20206 yr For those coming here, I figured it out! It's not working because it's missing the "chatid" file in "/boot/config/plugins/dynamix/telegram" Steps: Follow this guide until you have created the bot Go to Unraid => Settings => Notification settings and scroll all the way down to Telegram. Fill in the HTTP API of the bot Ex: 1216098989:AAGRnTFAKElG1v8pPKuN_RTGW4RTHDxo NO "-" at the start! Open the terminal, first of five icons at the top right of the screen. Once in the terminal do the following: cd ../ cd /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/telegram nano chatid *paste in the channel id where the bot should post, or your own Telegram ID* Ex: -1001444111222 MAKE SURE TO HAVE A "-" AT THE START HERE! *CTRL + S to save* *CTRL + X to close editor* ls *to check if the file has been made* No go back to the notification settings, press test underneath the Telegram form and it should work now! Let me know if you have questions!

June 9, 20206 yr Still broken, even in beta v6.9. I can't imagine it's that difficult to add the chat id as a field to populate under the bot token? Or at a minimum, add help text to indicate which files need to be populated on the USB stick. Looking at this thread, it seems this has been broken for a long time.

It's not broken mine has been working without hiccup for over a year now. You need to create a chatid file under /boot/config/telegram. From the command line run the following; touch /boot/config/telegram/chatid In that file you need to input the chatid of your user not your bot. You can obtain this by going to the following url; https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot token}/getUpdates Or running a curl command from the command line; curl https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot token}/getUpdates Where {bot token} is your bot api token... in the format of 1111111111:AAasdflakjhsflaskdhalskdjyYo You will see json formated text spit out. Look for the first instance of a chat id that belongs to your user name and not the bot. "chat":{"id":206646491,"first_name":"Max","last_name":"Power","username":"MPower" The above is the chat id you insert into your chatid file on the server. Just the number nothing else. Run this in command line; echo "206646491" > /boot/config/telegram/chatid Edited June 11, 20206 yr by exist2resist

If you're trying to use a channel ID you need to add '-100' to the front of it in your chatid file for it to function. Ex: Channel ID is 1234567899, you would provide -1001234567899 to the file
March 15, 20215 yr Can we not get the chatID in field box in the UI with the other settings? as it is needed. @limetech @Squid Edited March 15, 20215 yr by turnipisum
