[Silas Mariusz]

1. Open Telegram app and find @BotFather
   
   
   
2. Type /start and then /newbot to create new bot. Enter unique name for the bot.
   
   
3. Once you do that, bot should respond to you with token ID. Ctrl+C this token.
   
   
   
4. Now create new channel on Telegram.
   
   
   
   
   Find a name and hit Create
   
   
   
   
   
5. Edit channel and create discussion group for that channel:
   
   
   Assign some name for that group and hit Create.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Now you have to return to @BotFather bot and set /setjoingroups enabled for your Bot.
   
   
   
7. Go back once to your Bot and edit his settings. Tell him to join your group.
   
   
   Select group chat:
   
   
   
   
   
8. Open link: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR-BOT-TOKEN>/getUpdates but replace it with your BOT Token.
   Find the chat id now. It's the one just around your chat group name:
   
   
   
   NOTE: My one starts with minus at the begining and thats correct.
   
   
9. Open FAQ SSH to your NAS and test Bot:
   curl 'https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>&text=test123'
   eg.
   

   curl 'https://api.telegram.org/bot1234567890:ABCDEFGH/sendMessage?chat_id=-1001756444567&text=test123'

   
   
10. Now you should receive on telegram message from your Bot:
    
    
    
    This mean your bot seems to be working correctly.
    
    
11. Open Rdownload share and find script directory.
    
    
12. Create new empty file telegram.sh and open it in Notepad.
    
    
13. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to notepad this code snippet.
    (Make sure to replace your TOKEN and CHAT_ID variables)
    

    #!/usr/bin/rtorrent/bin/bash
    
    TOKEN=1234567890:ABCDEFGHIJ
    CHAT_ID=-0000111122223333
    
    cd `dirname $0`
    event_name=$(basename `pwd`)
    
    echo "${event_name}: $@"
    
    CMD_CURL=/usr/bin/rtorrent/bin/curl
    
    EVENT_TYPE=$1
    EVENT_HASH=$2
    EVENT_NAME=$3
    EVENT_PATH=$4
    EVENT_LABEL=
    [ "$5" == "" ] || EVENT_LABEL="${5}: "
    
    $CMD_CURL "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id=${CHAT_ID}&text=$EVENT_LABEL ${EVENT_TYPE}: $EVENT_NAME"
    
    exit 0

    
    
14. Assign executable permission for telegram.sh. So from FAQ SSH run chmod +x on that script.
    

    chmod +x /share/Rdownload/scripts/telegram_bot.sh

    
    You can test from FAQ SSH telegram bot before:
    

    /share/Rdownload/scripts/telegram_bot.sh finished 0123456 Windows.12.Pro.Beta-ISO /share/Rdownload/complete/software software

    
    Result:
    
    
    
    
    
15. Now the last step is to decide what types of notification you want to receive. So move and place that file in any category you want, eg. event.download.finished:
    
    
    
    
    
16. That's all.
    Voila!
