Telegram Notification Example

[Eberhard Lisse]

Can someone post an example what to put into creds.json in order to use Telegram notification. 

I have the token for the bot and the chat/group id and can post to the group from the command line using telegram-owl, but the below does not work.

{
  "bind": {
    "TYPE": "BIND",
    "directory": "zones",
    "filenameformat": "%D.unsigned"
  },
  "notifications": {
    "shoutrrr_url": "discover://123456790:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA@telegram/channels=-1001234567890"
  }
}

Can someone give me a similarly obfuscated example which works when unobfuscated, please?

Why discover:// ? According to the documentation it should be telegram://

Makes no difference.

I can replace channels with chats and -1001234567890" with '@-1001234567890', no differenc.
