                How to create a Grafana bot for Telegram
              
          
    Set up a Telegram Bot


Go to Grafana > Alerting > Notification channels > New channel.
Type: Telegram. It will ask you for a Bot API Token and a Chat ID.
Open a chat with BotFather on Telegram.
Type /newbot
Type your bots name. e.g. Grafana Bot
Type your bots username. e.g. a_new_grafana_bot
You get your Bot API Token. Paste it on Grafana.
Before making getUpdates (in the next step) you should add your bot into your telegram client and run /start. Thus you start chatting with the bot and this room is assigned chat id. (Thanks to @KES777)
