Telegram Notifications let you receive Visualping change alerts directly in a Telegram chat. Whenever a monitored page triggers an alert, Visualping sends a message to your connected Telegram account. This will give you real-time updates without relying on email.

Telegram is available as a notification channel for all Visualping users, alongside email, Slack, and webhooks.

You will need:

• A Telegram account: download the Telegram app at telegram.org and create an account, if you don't have one.

• The Telegram app installed on your phone or desktop, or access to Telegram Web.

You can connect Telegram from the Account Integrations page (recommended) or directly from an individual monitor's settings.

Step 1: Navigate to Account > Integrations.

Step 2: Find the Telegram section and click Connect.

Step 3: A link to the Visualping Telegram bot will appear. Click it to open Telegram, then press Start in the bot chat. This authorizes Visualping to send messages to your Telegram account.

Note: The bot link is unique to your account. Do not share it with others.

Step 4: Return to Visualping. The Telegram section will update to show your account as connected. You will also receive a confirmation message from the bot in Telegram.

Once connected at the account level, you can enable or disable Telegram on individual monitors from each monitor's Settings > Notifications tab.

Step 1: On the device that you want to receive Telegram notifications, log in to Visualping and navigate to a monitor's Settings > Notifications.

Step 2: Scroll to the Telegram section and click Connect.

Step 3: A link to the Visualping Telegram bot will appear. Click it to open Telegram, then press Start in the bot chat.

Step 4: Return to Visualping. The Telegram section will update to show your Telegram account as connected.

Once connected, Visualping will send a Telegram message each time a monitored page triggers an alert. The message includes the monitor name, the URL, and a link to view the detected change in your dashboard.

To control which monitors send Telegram alerts:

1. Open the monitor's Settings.

2. Go to the Notifications tab.

3. Enable or disable Telegram for that monitor.

To disconnect Telegram from your account entirely, navigate to Account > Integrations and click Disconnect in the Telegram section. You can also disconnect from any monitor's Settings > Notifications by clicking Disconnect in the Telegram section.

Telegram notifications are available to all Visualping users on any plan.

Currently, Telegram notifications are sent to your personal Telegram chat with the Visualping bot. Group and channel support may be added in a future update.

1. Confirm Telegram is connected under Account > Integrations or Settings > Notifications on a monitor.

2. Open the Visualping bot chat in Telegram and make sure you haven't blocked or muted it.

3. Check that Telegram is enabled for the specific monitor under its Notifications settings.

4. Verify the monitor is active and has detected a change. Notifications are only sent when an alert is triggered.

Yes. You can enable multiple notification channels for the same monitor. Telegram, email, Slack, and webhooks can all be active at the same time.
