Set up a Telegram bot

The Telegram Bot API requires a bot token and a channel ID. To set up a Telegram bot and obtain the required bot token and channel ID:

  1. Create a new Telegram account or use an existing account.

  2. Create a Telegram bot. Telegram provides a bot token for the newly created bot.

  3. Use the Telegram application to create a new channel.

  4. Add the new bot to the channel as an Administrator. Ensure the bot has permissions necessary to post messages.

  5. Send a message to bot in the channel.

  6. Send a request to https://api.telegram.org/bot$token/getUpdates.

    curl https://api.telegram.org/bot$token/getUpdates
    

    Find your channel ID in the id field of the response.

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
