Get your Telegram Chat ID in Apudflow (2 minutes)

· 2 min read

Finding your Telegram Chat ID takes less than 2 minutes. Here's how to do it end-to-end inside Apudflow.

Prerequisites​

  • Telegram app installed (mobile or desktop)
  • Our bot available in Telegram: apudflow_bot
  • Apudflow account (to paste the ID into the form)

Step-by-step​

  1. Open Telegram, search for “apudflow_bot”.
  2. Open the chat and tap Start (/start).
    • The bot immediately replies with your Chat ID.
  3. Copy the Chat ID the bot returned.
  4. In Apudflow, open the flow step with the “Telegram Notify” worker and paste the number into the “Chat ID” field.
  5. Click run/test — you should receive a message in Telegram.

  • Group chat IDs

    • Add the bot to the group. If you have the webhook enabled, send /id in the group. The bot will reply with the group chat_id (usually a negative number).

  • Channel IDs

    • Make the bot an Administrator of the channel first (required).
    • Public channel: you can use the @channel_username as Chat ID.
    • Private channel: use the numeric id starting with -100… (get it by sending /id after the webhook is active, or with a utility bot like @getidsbot).

That's it! Your Chat ID is now saved in your flow, and you can receive alerts from your automations.
