Telegram Bot

You need to create a Telegram bot which will be used to send the messages to the users. To create a new Telegram Bot check the official documentation at https://core.telegram.org/bots

You need to create a new Group Chat, add all your users to that chatroom and add also the Bot there.

To get the chat id, open https://telegram.me and select the group chat you previously created. Check the URL, it will be something like this:

https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=g99999999

You need to not the value of p parameter (g99999999) and exchange g with a -: -99999999

This is a bit hacky, but I don’t know any other way to get the group id.
