Quick fixes
- Connected but no messages — the bot isn’t in the chat or lacks post permission. Add the bot, grant permission, then run Send test.
- Too many pings — increase thresholds (Token / USD / ×multiplier) or disable noisy types in Manage alerts.
- Wrong destination — reopen the Telegram integration and choose the correct chat; you can change it anytime.
- Switched phones or bot looks “stuck” — disconnect and reconnect Telegram from Account → Notification channels, then run Send test.
Security & privacy
- Read-only by design — we never request seed phrases or spend permissions.
- The Telegram bot only needs permission to post in the destination chat/channel.
- Alerts remain visible in-app even if Telegram is disconnected.
