Connect Telegram

TickerShare delivers through YOUR bot, not a shared one. Your channel shows your bot as the sender, and your subscribers never see a third-party name.

Create the bot

1. Open Telegram and message @BotFather.
2. Send /newbot and follow the prompts: pick a display name and a username.
3. BotFather replies with a bot token. Treat it like a password.

Add the bot to your channel

1. Open your channel or group settings.
2. Add your bot as an administrator with permission to post messages.
3. Private channels work exactly the same way. See private channels.

Connect it in TickerShare

1. In Settings, add the bot with its token. TickerShare validates the token with Telegram and stores it encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The raw token is never shown again.
2. Add your channel as a destination (its @username for public channels, or the chat id for private ones).
3. Attach the bot and destination to your webhook.

Notes

• One account can hold multiple bots, multiple destinations and multiple webhooks.
• If the bot is removed from the channel or the token is revoked, deliveries fail fast with a clear reason in the log. Nothing is silently dropped.
