BENEFITS

Why teams use Nodown with Telegram

Send Nodown downtime alerts to any Telegram chat — personal, group, or channel — via a Telegram bot. Alerts arrive instantly on mobile and desktop with full incident details.

01 Works on any device Telegram delivers alerts to iOS, Android, and desktop simultaneously. No app switching — your on-call engineer gets paged wherever they are.
02 Groups and channels Route alerts to a Telegram group for team-wide visibility, or to a private channel for an audit trail. One Nodown integration per chat.
03 Free to use Telegram bots are free and rate limits are generous enough for monitoring alert volumes. No Telegram subscription required.
04 Instant push notifications Telegram's push delivery means alerts arrive on your phone within seconds of Nodown confirming a failure — faster than email, comparable to SMS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use one bot for multiple Nodown integrations? Yes. Create a separate Nodown Telegram integration for each chat ID you want to target (different groups, different personal chats) and reuse the same bot token across all of them.
What if I want alerts in a Telegram channel rather than a group? Add your bot as an admin to the Telegram channel, then use the channel's chat ID (which starts with -100 for channels). The setup is identical to groups.
Is Telegram secure enough for infrastructure alerts? Nodown alerts contain monitor names and failure reasons — no credentials or sensitive data. Telegram's client-server encryption is sufficient for this type of operational notification.
