On Telegram, users, groups, and groups with topics are represented by numeric IDs. For groups, the ID always starts with a minus sign (-) before the number.
How to Find Your User ID?
Just talk to your bot, locate the contact example @rrflowremontti_bot, send the command /meuid and it will reply:
/meuid
Rudimar Remontti, your user ID is 200000000
How to Find Group ID?
Add your bot to the desired group and send the command /idgrupo. The bot will respond with:
/idgrupo
The group ID: Group Name is -1000000000000
If the group has topics, send the /idgrupo command inside the desired topic to also get the topic ID:
/idgrupo
The group ID: Group Name is -1009999999999 Topic ID: 20
Now that you have the IDs, you can update the allow_responses list with all users and groups that can talk to and send commands to the bot. For groups with topics, add the group ID plus the topic ID separated by a comma, e.g., -1009999999999,20.
Also update the default_chat with the chat or group ID where messages will be sent by default.
Example configuration for notify.json:
"telegram": [
{
"allow_responses": [
"-1000000000000",
"-1009999999999,20",
"200000000"
],
"bot_token": "8065708603:AAGf1oog_2R6pUWcKT9qkjL3KLDv00nmxyk",
"default_chat": "-1009999999999,20"
}
]
