Creating Your JustTicks Telegram Alert Bot

Follow this step-by-step guide to set up automated trading alerts directly to your Telegram. No technical knowledge required!

Create a Telegram Bot & Get Token

  1. Open Telegram app on your phone or desktop
  2. Search for "BotFather" (official Telegram bot that creates bots)
  3. Start chat with BotFather by clicking "Start" button
  4. Type /newbot and send this message
  5. BotFather will ask for a name for your bot - type any name (Example: "JustTicksAlertBot")
  6. Next, BotFather will ask for a username - it must end with "bot" (Example: "justticks_alert_bot")
  7. If successful, BotFather will send you a message with your API token like:
    7845028536:AAFZj6r0__FSsmyrerJgdsc8FeJhJ01O1CU
  8. IMPORTANT: Save this token somewhere safe - it's the password to control your bot

Create a Private Group

  1. In Telegram, click the pencil icon (bottom right) to start a new message
  2. Select "New Group"
  3. Add at least one contact (you can remove them later if needed)
  4. Name your group "JustTicksAlert" or any name you prefer
  5. Click "Create"
  6. Once created, click the group name at the top
  7. Click "Edit" or the pencil icon
  8. Set group to "Private" in the privacy settings
  9. Go back to group settings

Add Bot as Administrator

  1. In group settings, select "Administrators"
  2. Click "Add Administrator"
  3. Search for your bot's username (the one you created with BotFather)
  4. Select your bot
  5. Enable all permissions for the bot
  6. Save changes

Get Chat ID

  1. Search for your bot's username in Telegram
  2. Send a message like "Hi" to the group where your bot is an admin
  3. Open your web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.)
  4. Copy-paste this URL in your browser (replace with your actual token):
    https://api.telegram.org/bot7889028536:AAFZj6r0__FSsmyrqrJgdsc8FeJhJ01O1CU/getUpdates
  5. Look for something like this in the results: "chat" followed by an ID number
  6. The number after "id": is your chat ID (it starts with minus for groups)
  7. Save this chat ID

Add to JustTicks Settings

  1. Log in to your JustTicks account
  2. Go to "Settings" or "Account Settings"
  3. Find the "Notifications" or "Alerts" section
  4. Look for the "Webhook URL" field (where you can configure alert notifications)
  5. In the webhook field, enter the URL in this format:
    https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_BOT_TOKEN/sendMessage?chat_id=YOUR_CHAT_ID
  6. Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN with your actual token
  7. Replace YOUR_CHAT_ID with your actual chat ID
  8. Example of a complete URL:
    https://api.telegram.org/bot7889028536:AAFZj6r0__FSsmyrqrJgdsc8FeJhJ01O1CU/sendMessage?chat_id=-1002611301857
  9. Click "Save" or "Apply Changes"
  10. Note: This webhook URL is what makes JustTicks send alerts directly to your Telegram group

Test Your Setup

  1. Click "Test Notification" in JustTicks settings if available
  2. Or paste your complete URL in a browser with &text=Test added at the end:
    https://api.telegram.org/bot7889028536:AAFZj6r0__FSsmyrqrJgdsc8FeJhJ01O1CU/sendMessage?chat_id=-1002611301857&text=Test
  3. You should receive a message in your Telegram group
