  4. Message @botfather on Telegram and create a new bot following the instructions. Insert the obtained bot token in plugin settings page.
  5. Your bot can message to individual users and channels (if it has the rights). To send a notification to yourself, obtain your Telegram user ID by messaging @myidbot and paste it in the "Telegram User ID(s)" field.
