First, you need to create a Telegram Bot through BotFather and obtain the Bot Token.

After adding the bot to your Telegram Group, send a message in the group. Then, you can visit https://api.telegram.org/bot{BOT_TOKEN}/getUpdates to get the Chat ID. Note that this will be a negative number.

{
    "ok": true,
    "result": [
        {
            "update_id": 726841526,
            "message": {
                "message_id": 338,
                "from": {
                    "id": 6640147596,
                    "is_bot": false,
                    "first_name": "Jared",
                    "last_name": "L",
                    "language_code": "en"
                },
                "chat": {
                    "id": -123456789,  // 👈 Here is the Chat ID
                    "title": "XXX",
                    "type": "supergroup"
                },
                "date": 1729151800,
                "text": "hh"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Then you can configure the Telegram Webhook in Tidyread. Simply replace the red-marked areas in the image with your own Bot Token and Chat ID:

https://api.telegram.org/bot{YOUR_TOKEN}/sendMessage
