It will send you some information, including the +`id`, just below `You`. + +Finally edit `global-config-overlay`, add `TelegramTokenId` with the token +from *BotFather* and `TelegramChatId` with your id from *GetIDs Bot*. Then +reload the configuration. + +### Notifications to a group + +Sending notifications to a group is possible as well.
