Setting Up the Telegram Deployment
Telegram deployments use the standard Telegram Bot API. All you need is a bot token from @BotFather.1
Create a bot with @BotFather
Open Telegram and start a chat with @BotFather. Send
/newbot, follow the prompts to choose a name and a username, and copy the bot token. It looks like 123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz.2
Enter the bot token in Noxus
In Noxus, create a new Telegram connection and paste the bot token.Click Connect — Noxus calls
getMe on the Telegram API to verify the token and record your bot’s metadata.3
Activate the deployment
Create a Telegram deployment, pick this connection, and set it to Online. Noxus automatically registers the webhook with Telegram and secures it with a per-deployment secret token, so every incoming update is signed by Telegram.
