Notification Channels

Channels are where your alerts are delivered. Manage them on the Channels page. You can use both at the same time. Each notification is sent through every active channel.

Alerts are sent by your own Telegram bot, so you stay in control of it.

In Telegram, open @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token it gives you.
Open Channels, paste the token into the Telegram card and press Save & connect. The token is stored encrypted.
Press Open Telegram, then Start. The bot replies with a confirmation, and the page updates to Connected.

The link expires after 15 minutes. If it does, press Generate link again. Each bot can be used by one account only. Disconnecting removes the token from our servers.

Bot commands

Command	Action
`/start <code>`	Links the chat to your account (used by the connect link).
`/stop`	Disconnects this chat.

You can also disconnect from the Channels page, and use Send test alert to confirm delivery.

Email

Email alerts go to an address you have verified. The field defaults to your account email, but you can use any mailbox, for example a shared ops inbox.

Activate

On the Email card, keep the pre-filled address or type another.
Press Send code. A 6-digit code is emailed to that address.
Enter the code and press Verify. The channel is now active.

Code rules

Codes expire after 10 minutes and can be used once.
After 5 wrong attempts the code is cancelled and you must request a new one.
You can request a new code every 60 seconds, up to 5 per hour.

Changing the address

Type a new address and verify it the same way. Until the new address is verified, alerts keep going to the old one. Nothing is ever sent to an unverified address.

Pause or remove

Turn off keeps the verified address but stops sending.
Disconnect removes the address. You will need a new code to activate again.
