Receive Telegram Alerts from Mondoo

You can configure Mondoo to send a message to a Telegram account whenever there's a change to an asset's security score. You do this by integrating Telegram with the Mondoo space from which you want to receive alerts.

Before you set up the integration, you must create Telegram bot token and get your Telegram chat ID.

Create a Telegram bot token​

  1. Open Telegram and search for the @BotFather username. Then start a new conversation with @BotFather with /newbot. @BotFather responds:

    Telegram Botfather

  2. During the conversation, the bot provides a Telegram access token:

Use this token to access the HTTP API: <telegram-access-token>

Get your Telegram chat ID​
