What you get

  • Linked in one tap

    Open Telegram from the dialog, press Start, and the chat ID fills in by itself.

  • Groups too

    Add the bot to a group and the whole team sees the alerts. If Telegram turns the group into a supergroup, alerts follow it.

  • No bot of your own

    Uptimecheck runs the bot, so there is no token to create or keep secret.

  • Only confirmed outages

    A failed check is repeated before an incident opens, so a single blip never sends an alert.

How to connect Telegram

  1. Open Alert channels in the sidebar and choose Add channel.

  2. Pick Telegram.

  3. Choose Open Telegram and press Start in the chat with the bot, or choose Add to a group and pick the group. The chat ID fills in by itself.

  4. Choose Add channel, then Send test.

The link works for a short while; if it expires, choose New link.

Included on every plan, from Start to Business.

Questions

Do I need to create my own Telegram bot?

No. Alerts come from @UptimecheckAlertsBot, which Uptimecheck runs. You press Start in the chat with it, or add it to a group.

How do I send alerts to a group?

Choose Add to a group in the dialog and pick the group in Telegram. The group’s chat ID fills in the same way as for a private chat.

What if the link has expired?

Choose New link in the dialog. Or send /start to @UptimecheckAlertsBot and paste the chat ID it replies with into Chat ID.

What if an alert can’t be delivered?

Uptimecheck retries a failed alert five times over about 40 minutes, and stops at once when the service says the address is gone for good. The channel then shows Not delivering with the reason, on the alert channels page and on the monitors that use it. A passing Send test clears it.

Is it included on every plan?

Yes. Every alert channel is on every plan, from Start to Business; SMS uses credits (included on Professional and Business, bought packs on Start). Plans differ in how many alert channels you can add: 25 on Start, 75 on Professional and 250 on Business.
