To set this up, go to Profile > Telegram.
Notifications work by first creating a personal bot on Telegram, Gunbot then connects to this bot to push notifications to you.
This is how to create a bot:
Talk to @botfather. Create a new bot with the command /newbot and choose a name and username for your bot. Save the bot token shown.
Talk to @myidbot to see your Chat ID, save it.
Enable Telegram notifications for Gunbot, and enter the token and ID you've just gathered. Use the ID for both the user and admin ID fields, this makes sure that only you can interact with the Telegram bot. Alternatively, you can set a comma separated list for Admin ID, specifying multiple IDs who may interact with the bot.
Start a chat with the username you've picked for your bot, and hit the start button. If you don't see a start button, write "/start" and send it as message.
To enable trade notifications, enable these in the settings menu inside the Telegram bot.
The Telegram bot is fully integrated into Gunbot. All you need to do to start the Telegram bot is enable Telegram notifications in your Gunbot settings.
After setting it up, type /start to your bot to open the menu.
Below you'll find detailed descriptions of all available parameters for Telegram notifications.
Enable this to have Gunbot send trade notifications through Telegram.
Each trade notification starts with the nickname set here.
Use this to easily check from which bot instance the notifications have been sent.
The Telegram token for your bot.
The Chat ID for your bot to send its messages to.
Valid options:
"12345"
A positive integer, to send messages directly to a telegram user. Use this method when you just want to receive notifications for your personal use.
To find your telegram id, send /start to @MyTelegramID_bot and it will respond with your ID.
"-12345"
A negative integer, to send messages to a group chat.
Pull the group id from this link: https://api.telegram.org/bot[tokenhere]/getUpdates
replace [tokenhere] (no brackets)
look for "chat":{"id":-[groupchatidnumber],"title":"Group Name","type":"supergroup"}
Defines which Telegram user IDs are allowed to interact with the bot. Must be used next to Chat ID.
When you leave this value empty, every Telegram user is able to interact with your Telegram bot.
Multiple IDs can be entered as a comma separated list.
When enabled notifications will be only sent for strategy sell orders.
When set above 0, you'll receive a Telegram dialog to manually allow or deny every order Gunbot wants to place.
During the set amount of seconds you can choose to allow the order (and it will immediately be placed) or deny it. After the timeout passes without reply, the order will be placed at the exchange.
Enable this to test if your Telegram bot is working.
A test message will be sent on the first round for each pair. Disable after verifying your bot works.
