* Add this newly created Notificaion handler to any of the monitors and you will get Up/Down notifications for that monitor in Telegram.

That's it, you are good to go! Your Telegram integration is now complete.

Whenever Hydrozen.io detects a status change of your monitors, it will post a notification on Telegram.
