This simplifies token and timeout reuse for the notify module (used now) and for the auth module later (not yet in the code). SMTP credentials are already set up that way.

## Telegram notifications
|
|
|
|
In order to integrate notifications from remark42 with the [telegram](https://telegram.org), you should make [a channel](https://telegram.org/faq_channels) and obtain a token. This token should be used as `TELEGRAM_TOKEN`. You also need to set `NOTIFY_TYPE=telegram` and set `NOTIFY_TELEGRAM_CHAN` to your channel.
|
|
|
|
In order to get token "just talk to [BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#6-botfather)". All you need is to send `/newbot` command, and choose the name for your bot (it must end in `bot`). This is it, you got a token.
|
|
|
|
_Example of such a "talk":_
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Umputun:
|
|
/newbot
|
|
|
|
BotFather:
|
|
Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.
|
|
|
|
Umputun:
|
|
example_comments
|
|
|
|
BotFather:
|
|
Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.
|

Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/example_comments_bot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
