Solutions

1. Open the Bale notification settings in Uptime Kuma and verify the Chat ID field is filled in.
2. To get the chat ID, send a message to your Bale bot, then call the Bale Bot API getUpdates endpoint (https://tapi.bale.ai/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates) and copy the chat.id value from the response.
3. If the message is sent to a group, add the bot to the group first 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 Bale notification configuration to the numeric chat.id obtained from https://tapi.bale.ai/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates, then click Test to confirm delivery.
