Telegram notifications

Overview

Telegram notifications can deliver signals, position events, and warnings to a private chat, group, or channel. Public documentation should describe the setup conceptually; exact secret names belong to the deployment templates and internal runtime docs.

Setup Checklist

1. Create a Telegram bot with BotFather.
2. Add the bot to the destination chat, group, or channel.
3. Store the bot token and destination id in the deployment secret store.
4. Enable notifications for the target Barfinex runtime.
5. Restart or redeploy the service if the deployment model requires it.
6. Send a test notification and check runtime logs for delivery errors.

Safety

• Never publish bot tokens or chat ids.
• Do not paste secret-bearing .env files into support tickets or screenshots.
• Use separate destinations for production alerts and development tests.
