### Overview

First, you need to go to Telegram to connect the bot and get an ID for setting up notifications in Asodesk. The bot can be connected to a Telegram channel or a group chat.

### Groups:

Groups are interactive chats where participants can send messages.

1\. [Click here](https://t.me/asodesk_alert_bot?startgroup=&admin=manage_chat) to add the bot to your group, or search for **@asodesk_alert_bot** manually.

2\. Add the bot as an administrator to the group;

3\. Send /get_chat_id in the group.\
For threads: send /get_thread_id in a specific thread.

### Channels:

Channels are broadcast-only chats where only administrators can post messages (the bot automatically sends the chat ID when added).

1\. [Click here](https://t.me/asodesk_alert_bot?startchannel=&admin=post_messages) to add the bot to your channel (channels where you are an administrator will be displayed, then select a channel).

2\. The bot automatically sends the chat ID when added as an administrator.

> [!TIP]
> /get_chat_id only works in groups where you can send messages.

> [!TIP]
> Chat ID is usually a negative number.

### After adding the bot to a channel or group:

1\. Navigate to the **[Connections Hub](https://hq.asodesk.com/connections-hub/settings)** tab found on the left sidebar of the interface.\
