How to create simple web-hook to send alerts to Telegram

Updated

Hello Traders,

In this video, I have demonstrated how to create a simple web-hook which can send your Tradingview alerts to Telegram channel or group for zero cost.

⬜ Tools Used
▶ Telegram Messenger
▶ Replit - Cloud platform for hosting small programs
▶ Postman - To test web-hooks before going live (Optional)
▶ Cronjob - To set health-check and keep bot alive

⬜ Steps

▶ Create Telegram Bot

Find BotFather and issue command /newbot
Provide bot name
Provide bot username - which should be unique and end with _bot
Once bot is created, you will get a message with token access key in it. Store the token access key.

▶ Prepare Telegram Channel

Create new telegram channel
Add the bot @username_to_id_bot to it as admin and issue /start to find chat id
Store the chat id and dismiss @username_to_id_bot from channel
Find the bot created in previous step using bot username and add it to channel as admin

▶ Setup replit

Create a free Replit account if you do not have it already.
Fork the repl - Tradingview-Telegram-Bot to your space and give a name of your choice.
Set environment variables - TOKEN and CHANNEL which are acquired from previous steps.
Run the REPL

▶ Test with postman

Use the URL on repl and create web-hook post request URL by adding /webhook to it.
Create post request on postman and send it.
You can see that messages sent via postman appearing in your telegram channel.
append ?jsonRequest=true if you are using json output from alerts.

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the video and learned from it :)

PS: I have made use of extracts from the open github repo: github.com/fabston/TradingView-Webhook-Bot

Note

Just realized that there is issue with hyperlink of repl I posted.

Just copy paste the URL instead of clicking on it. (Tradingview seems to be replacing @ with %2540:

"replit.com/@trendoscope/Tradingview-Telegram-Bot?v=1"
