New Feature – Telegram Integration.

Written by Tomas Koprusak 105 words | 1 min read Updated Nov 13, 2025

Uptime Robot offers multiple ways to get notified of downtime. And, here comes another exciting one.

Thanks to its bot framework and API support, it is now possible to get down/up/SSL notifications via Telegram messaging app.

The usage is pretty simple:

go to My Settings>Alert Contacts>New>Telegram
create the alert contact
click the unique Telegram link created
press /start button displayed in the Telegram dialog
and, you are all set, just attach this alert contact to the monitors of your choice via add/edit monitor dialogs.

Hope that this new feature helps for better notifications.

Great feature - at the moment I'm using IFTTT for this. Any plans on supporting Group chats? That's the only thing keeping me back (ok maybe also the ability to customize messages)

JB May 24, 2018 at 5:35 am

+1 it would be really useful

Derim Feb 5, 2023 at 5:35 am

Can you please tell me how to configure this via IFTTT?

Derim Feb 6, 2023 at 5:35 am

Can you please tell me how to connect IFTTT to uptimerobot to get notifications in telegram?

Niemiecki Mar 13, 2018 at 12:29 pm

Great work! Thanks for the new feature!

Nice function, except, it doesn't seems to work.

I do the activation and get the reply "Your Telegram alert contact (removed for my privacy) is now activated. In order to get down/up notifications, please make sure that you attach this new alert contact to the monitors of your choice from the add/edit monitor dialogs. Click here to go to the Uptime Robot dashboard (https://uptimerobot.com/dashboard#mySettings)."

But the padlock is still visible in the contact method and I don't receive up and down messages.

What's wrong? Is it me? or something else?

Awesome! Telegram, and you guys both rock!

Wesley Apr 17, 2018 at 9:42 pm

Support for group chats would be an awsome idea! I hole they could create it!

Hello
I think it is better that you use monitor name Instead of ip in telegram.Thankful.

Adam Shearman Apr 24, 2018 at 10:15 pm

I second this, being able to add to a group or channel would be great

Meyti May 7, 2018 at 12:45 pm

Cool! now i don't need IFTTT any more. thank you :like:

Mundo May 8, 2018 at 8:16 pm

Hi, thanks for adding Telegram support!

Any plans on adding Hangouts Chat? Looks like Pierre is refering to the new Hangouts Chat slack-like service (https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/webhooks)

elriti Jun 13, 2018 at 10:35 pm

groups feature for the win!

Olim Saidov Jun 29, 2018 at 2:38 pm

How to make bot send message to telegram group?

Ricky Jul 20, 2018 at 2:22 pm

Thanks for the implementation! It would be great if this had the ability to push Telegram notifications to a group chat. My family uses Telegram for many different home automation messages, and this would be extremely beneficial if they all got notifications from UptimeRobot.

Kay Strobach Nov 23, 2018 at 6:50 am

please add group chat feature!

canab Jul 2, 2019 at 8:04 am

polking Feb 17, 2020 at 12:37 pm

Please add ability to push notification to Telegram groups!

Amin Mohammadian Jun 25, 2021 at 7:39 am

Jerome Oct 1, 2020 at 7:52 pm

Please can you add the ability to send the notifications to a Telegram group? That would be a very nice feature!

Kristian - Community Manager Oct 22, 2020 at 7:52 pm

Hi Jerome,

we agree and we'll reconsider it in the future. At the moment, we are busy with our new status pages, mobile app, upgrading our infrastructure and optimizing our service.

Let us know if you have any suggestions, we are happy to hear them!

Shlomi G. Oct 14, 2020 at 6:08 am

Any news on groups notification?

Kristian - Community Manager Oct 22, 2020 at 6:08 am

Hi Shlomi, we are currently focusing on other priorities like the new status pages, mobile app, upgrading our infrastructure and optimizing the service, but we'll think about it in the future for sure!

Imposter Nov 8, 2020 at 6:08 am

Any news about group notifications? it will be so helpfull for many user, you can release it in pro version and i will buy it :)

Kristian - Community Manager Nov 9, 2020 at 6:08 am

Hi,

unfortunately, this is not available yet.

Rico Nov 2, 2020 at 10:14 pm

@Kristian, Telegram groups are much more interesting (and easier to implement!) than the mobile app :-D I think it's the most important feature missing for me.

David Nov 18, 2020 at 2:04 pm

@Kristian,
May I suggest you listen and pay attention to what your customers needs are?
If you miss the boat on thisand a compettitor starts supporting Telegram groups, you will loose their busines and good will.

Hint hint.
Prety please, with a cherry on top.

Even if you charged $1 a month for the group connector??

Kristian - Community Manager Nov 19, 2020 at 2:04 pm

Hi David,

thank you for your feedback, we understand this is a wanted feature, but there are other priorities at the moment we are working on, like our new mobile app or status pages we just released :) But we'll definitely reconsider it when the time's right! Let us know if you have any other ideas.

ADAC Jan 21, 2021 at 1:13 pm

Any news about group notifications? it will be so helpfull for many user.

Kristian - Community Manager Jan 28, 2021 at 1:13 pm

It's not planned at the moment, unfortunately.

Ruslan Feb 3, 2021 at 9:40 am

Hey, could you please advise me how to add or edit UpTimeRobot notification not to my own Telegram ID but to Telegram channel (another bot with was created to combine multiple alerts from multiple systems)?

Kristian - Community Manager Feb 4, 2021 at 9:40 am

Hi Ruslan, that's not possible, unfortunately.
