Installation and setup

  1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/merckit-notify-for-telegram/ or install it via the "Plugins" section.
  2. Activate the plugin.
  3. Open the Telegram Notify item in the admin sidebar.
  4. Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather and paste the token.
  5. Enter your Chat ID.
  6. Enable the notifications you need and click "Save".

How to get a bot token

Open @BotFather, send /newbot, follow the prompts, and copy the token (format 123456:ABC-DEF1234...).

How to find your Chat ID

For a personal chat, message @userinfobot. For a group, add the bot to the group, send a message, then open https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates.

Extra security (optional)

To avoid storing the token in the database, define it in wp-config.php:

define( 'TRADAI_TTN_BOT_TOKEN', '123456:your-token' );
