domain:
telegram.org
· 4 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed
Verified steps
Create bot via @BotFather, get token
User must message the bot first (bots can't initiate DMs)
Get chat_id from getUpdates or a webhook update
POST /bot{token}/sendMessage with chat_id and text; parse_mode=MarkdownV2 or HTML for formatting
Known gotchas
MarkdownV2 requires escaping . - ! ( ) and other special chars — unescaped text causes 400 Bad Request
Group chat_ids are negative numbers; supergroup ids start with -100
Bots can message groups only after being added; privacy mode hides non-command messages unless disabled
