Set Up Telegram for unCoded

To connect unCoded with Telegram, you first need to set up a communication channel so the bot can send updates directly via Telegram. This setup is optional.

All steps in this documentation assume you are using the Telegram desktop or mobile client (Windows, iOS, Android).

Create a new Bot via BotFather

Open a chat with @BotFather on Telegram.
Send the command:
```
/newbot  
```
Follow the prompts to choose a name and username for your bot.
Once complete, you will receive the Bot Token, which you will later add to your server configuration.

Create a Group and Add the Bot

To link unCoded with Telegram, you need a dedicated group.

How to create the group:

Open the Telegram desktop or mobile client.
Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.

Select New Group.

Give the group a name (e.g., unCoded Trading).

When asked to add participants, immediately add:
- Your newly created Telegram bot (from BotFather).
- The helper bot @myidbot.

You will also be a member of the group automatically.

Save the setting.

👷 Give Your Bot Administrator Rights

Depending on the Telegram version you are using (Windows, web, mobile, etc.), this process may vary. If you need help, feel free to contact our support on Telegram.

For the bot to function properly in the group, it must be set as an Administrator.

Steps:

Open your new group.
Click on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner and select Manage Group.

Go to Administrators.

Click Add Administrator.

Select your unCoded Bot (Or Right-Click it).

Confirm with Save.

💡 Normal administrator rights are sufficient. You don’t need to enable or adjust any special permissions.

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Retrieve the Group Chat ID

In the group chat, send:
```
/getgroupid@myidbot 
```

@myidbot will reply:
1. Group ID (e.g., -1001234567890)

To get your own user ID, send /getid in a private chat with the bot. Lets move on with the next step!
