Telegram (after install)

Listings with the Telegram chip ship a channel file that reads bot credentials from the environment. You create the bot and register Eve’s webhook on your deployment.

Official setup: Telegram channel · eve.dev/integrations

What the listing ships

import { telegramChannel } from "eve/channels/telegram";

export default telegramChannel();

Credentials come from env (see the listing SETUP.md / .env.example):

• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
• TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN

Adapt after install

1. Message @BotFather, create a bot, put the token in .env.
2. Set TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN to a random secret.
3. Deploy (or expose a public URL), then register the webhook at Eve’s Telegram route:

curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/setWebhook" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://<your-deployment>/eve/v1/telegram",
       "secret_token":"'"$TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN"'",
       "allowed_updates":["message","callback_query"]}'

4. DM the bot to verify. For group @mentions, pass botUsername in the channel file as described in Eve’s docs.
