I didn’t know you can set up Telegram notifications, but I’m struggling to enable it. I added the Alert Contact and it’s greyed out. Then I clicked the little padlock to activate it. In the popup I clicked the “click this custom link…” and opened it in Telegram. The UptimeRobot gets added and I click on START to send the “/start” command. But the Alert Contact is still not enabled.
What am I doing wrong there? I also tried it on my mobile phone and issued the “/start” command manually numerous times.
It worked straight away now when I tried again. The Telegram bot replied with the “activated” message to the “/start” command, which it didn’t yesterday.
I also noticed that the site was down after I wrote this post yesterday. So there was a problem at their end and they solved it now.
