# How to connect Telegram with Navixy-IoT Logic.
This is a quick guide of the steps that might be followed to create the connection between IoT logic and Telegram.
1\) Create a bot and get your token
* In Telegram, open the chat with @BotFather.
* Run the command /newbot.
* Follow the instructions and copy the bot token provided (it looks like: 123456:ABC-...).
2\) Get the chat\_id you want to message
Common ways to do this:
* Send a message to your bot (or add it to a group and send a message there).
* Then call the getUpdates method from the Telegram API.
* If it’s a group, the chat\_id is usually a negative number.
* Make sure the bot has received at least one message so it appears in getUpdates.
3\) Send the message (REST call)
* Use the sendMessage method from the Telegram API.
* In the request body, include the chat\_id and the message text.
* The request should be sent in JSON format with the header Content-Type: application/json.
4\) Create the IoT Flow in Navixy
* Once the flow has been created, connect the Webhook node in the section where you want to send the data.
* Follow the same structure as the API call. In the URL field, place the request endpoint:
\/sendMessage
* In the Headers section:
* Key: Content-Type
* Value: application/json
* Finally, in the body of the request, include the telemetry parameters you want to send, making sure to include the chat\_id again, for instance:
{
"chat\_id": X,
"text": "Device 12563254, latitude: {{latitude}}, longitude: {{longitude}}, satellites: {{satellites}}, speed: {{speed}}"
}
 
With these steps, your bot will be able to receive messages successfully, including automated telemetry data from Navixy.
