Connecting Telegram to Landfall

Telegram is a notification channel, not a context source: connect it and Landfall posts incident updates to a chat through a bot you create. Landfall never reads your Telegram message history.

What you'll need

• A Telegram account to talk to @BotFather and create a bot.
• An admin on your Landfall organization, to save the connection under Settings → Integrations.

1. Create a bot with @BotFather

1. Message @BotFather → /newbot

   Follow the prompts to name your bot; BotFather replies with a bot token.

   t.me/BotFather

   

2. Get a chat id (optional, for a default chat)

   Add the bot to the group/channel you want updates in, send it a message, then read the chat id off api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates.

2. Add it to Landfall

In Landfall, open Settings → Integrations → Telegram, paste the bot token, optionally set a default chat id, and run Test connection (a read-only getMe call — no message is sent).

Reference

See Integrations architecture for how every Landfall integration shares this same connector shape.
