Using Telegram API with Gunbot
Gunbot supports Telegram API integration to send real-time notifications directly to your Telegram account or channel. This allows you to stay updated on your trading activities without constantly monitoring the dashboard.
BotFather (https://t.me/botfather) is the official Telegram bot that allows users to create, manage, and configure their own bots on Telegram. It serves as the starting point for anyone who wants to develop a Telegram bot or use the API.
How to use BotFather to create an API Token
1. Open the Telegram chat with BotFather (https://t.me/botfather) on Telegram.
2. Use the "/newbot" command to create a new bot.
