Telegram setup

Connect unCoded to Telegram to receive real-time trade notifications and manage your bot via Telegram commands.

Telegram integration is optional. Once connected, unCoded can send trade notifications directly to a Telegram group and respond to commands so you can monitor and manage your bot from your phone or desktop.

Prerequisites: An active Telegram account and the Telegram desktop or mobile client (Windows, iOS, or Android).

All steps below assume you are using the Telegram desktop or mobile client, not the web version.

---

Link your Binance UID

Before configuring Telegram, make sure your Binance UID is linked to your unCoded account.

Open @unCoded_bot in Telegram and follow the prompts under Account → Add / verify UID to connect your Binance account.

Create a bot via BotFather

1. Open BotFather

   Open a chat with @BotFather on Telegram.

2. Create a new bot

   Send the following command:

   /newbot
   

   Follow the prompts to choose a name and username for your bot.

3. Save your Bot Token

   Once complete, BotFather sends you a Bot Token. Copy and save this — you will add it to your server configuration later.

---

Create a group and add your bot

1. Open the menu

   In the Telegram desktop or mobile client, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.

2. Create a new group

   Select New Group and give it a name (e.g., unCoded Trading).

3. Add participants

   When prompted to add participants, add:

   • Your newly created bot (from BotFather)
   • The helper bot @myidbot

   You are added to the group automatically.

4. Save the group

   Confirm and save the group settings.

---

Give your bot administrator rights

Your bot must have administrator rights in the group to function correctly.

1. Open group settings

   Open your new group, click the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner, and select Manage Group.

2. Navigate to administrators

   Go to Administrators and click Add Administrator.

3. Select your bot

   Find and select your unCoded bot from the member list (or right-click it).

4. Save

   Confirm with Save.

Normal administrator rights are sufficient. You do not need to enable or adjust any special permissions.

Retrieve the Group Chat ID

1. Send the ID command

   In the group chat, send:

   /id@my_id_bot
   
2. Copy the Group Chat ID

   @my_id_bot replies with the Group Chat ID (a negative number, e.g., -1001234567890). Copy this value.

To find your own personal Telegram user ID, send a message to @my_id_bot in a private chat.

---

Add credentials to your server configuration

Enter the Bot Token and Group Chat ID in your unCoded server deployment configuration (via CapRover). Once applied and the bot restarts, Telegram notifications will be active.

---

Once connected, Telegram is used only to receive notifications from unCoded.

Your Telegram group can receive real-time trade notifications for executed buy and sell actions. Telegram does not provide any external command interface, remote control functionality, or bot management features. You cannot use Telegram to trigger trades, change settings, manage licenses, or execute commands on the system.
