You need

• A Telegram channel you own

Get it here

• Open Telegram and talk to @BotFather
• Send /newbot, pick a name, copy the token it gives you

Steps

1. Create the bot with BotFather
2. Add the bot to your channel as an administrator with the right to post messages
3. In Dexrux open Networks, add Telegram, tick the languages and paste the token and channel

Keep in mind

• Use one channel per language
• Treat the token like a password. If it leaks, revoke it in BotFather and paste the new one into Dexrux
• A bot that is not an administrator cannot post
