### Setting up Telegram Bot Notification Open your Telegram app, and chat with @botFather Enter `/newbot` to create a new bot Enter the bot display name. ex. `your_bbgo_bot` Enter the bot username. This should be global unique. e.g., `bbgo_bot_711222333` Botfather will response your a bot token. *Keep bot token safe* Add `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` in your `.env.local` file, e.g., ```shell TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=347374838:ABFTjfiweajfiawoejfiaojfeijoaef ``` For the telegram chat authentication (your bot needs to verify it's you), if you only need a fixed authentication token, you can set `TELEGRAM_AUTH_TOKEN` in the `.env.local` file, e.g., ```sh TELEGRAM_BOT_AUTH_TOKEN=itsme55667788 ``` Run your bbgo. Open your Telegram app, search your bot `bbgo_bot_711222333` Enter `/start` and `/auth {code}` Done! Your notifications will be routed to the telegram chat. ## Authenticating yourself with OTP BBGO supports one-time password (OTP) authentication for Telegram, so you can auth yourself by the one-time password. When you run your bbgo with the telegram token first time, it will generate an otp token in a PNG file (named otp-xxxx.png) and also the console output. You should store the otp token in a safe place like 1Password. In order to save the OTP secret persistently, you should configure your BBGO with redis, simply add the following config to your `bbgo.yaml`: ```yaml persistence: json: directory: var/data redis: host: 127.0.0.1 port: 6379 db: 0 ```
