Telegram Bot

Configure your Telegram bot for notifications and commands.

RestocksAIO includes a Telegram bot integration that allows you to receive notifications and interact with your instance through Telegram commands.

Getting Started

Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather

  2. Start a conversation with BotFather and send /newbot

  3. Follow the prompts to choose a name and username for your bot

  4. BotFather will provide you with a bot token (e.g., 123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz)

  5. Save this token - you'll need it in the next step

Step 2: Get Your Telegram User ID

  1. Search for @userinfobot on Telegram

  2. Start a conversation with @userinfobot

  3. The bot will immediately reply with your User ID (a numeric value like 123456789)

  4. Save this User ID - you'll need it to authorize yourself

You must add your User ID to the authorized list, otherwise the bot will ignore your messages for security reasons.

Step 3: Configure in RestocksAIO

  1. Open RestocksAIO and navigate to Settings

  2. Click on Telegram Bot in the settings sidebar

  3. Enter your Bot Token in the "Bot Token" field

  4. Enter your User ID (or multiple IDs separated by commas) in the "Authorized User ID(s)" field

  5. Configure notification preferences:

    • Send Telegram notifications for Bricker Mode sales: Enable to receive sale notifications

    • Send Telegram notifications for new offers: Enable to receive offer detection notifications

    • Send Telegram notifications for application errors: Enable to forward application errors to Telegram (disabled by default)

  6. Click Save to save your settings

  7. Click Test Bot to verify the connection

If the test is successful, you'll receive a confirmation message in Telegram. The bot is now ready to use!
