Solutions

1. Open the Telegram notification settings in Uptime Kuma and verify the Chat ID field is filled in.
2. To get your chat ID, send a message to your bot, then open https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates and copy the chat.id value from the response. Alternatively use a bot such as @userinfobot.
3. For group chats, add the bot to the group and use the group's (negative) chat ID.
4. Re-test the notification after saving the corrected chat ID.

Example fix

Set the Chat ID in the Telegram notification configuration to the numeric chat.id obtained from https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates, then click Test to confirm delivery.
