-  If you have already created a dedicated channel to receive GLPI notifications, add your bot to it.
-  Otherwise, create your own channel
-  add the newly created bot

-  Send a message in the channel created to initiate a conversation and generate the various IDs we will need.

-  From your browser, enter the following URL:

   https://api.telegram.org/botmytoken/getupdates\

Replace *mytoken* with the value of the token generated above

.. note::
   Telegram bot URLs take the form **https://api.telegram.org/bot{mytoken}**
