Telegram Integration
Receive threat alerts on Telegram via a bot.
Telegram is a notification channel: connect it to get instant security alerts on your phone whenever a monitoring threat re-scan finds new or regressed findings. Unlike audit providers (GitHub, Cloudflare, …), Telegram has no security analyzer — it only delivers alerts.
#Setup
1
Create a bot
Message
@BotFather on Telegram and send /newbot. Follow the prompts to name your bot (e.g. "Vergate Alerts") and copy the bot token it gives you — it looks like 123456789:ABC-DEF....2
Find your chat ID
Send any message to your new bot, then message
@userinfobot or @getidsbot and copy your numeric chat ID (for private chats it's your user ID; for groups it's a negative number like -1001234567890).3
Connect in Vergate
Go to Integrations, click Connect on Telegram, and paste the bot token and chat ID.
#What Alerts Look Like
When a threat re-scan on a monitoring target completes with new or regressed findings, Vergate sends a Telegram message with the count and a bullet list of the findings, plus a link to the monitoring dashboard. Alerts are only sent when something actually changed since the last scan.
Warning. The bot token is the only credential to your bot — never share it or commit it to source control. Anyone holding it can post as your bot.
