Hello friends
Today we will be learning the best way to create discreet alerts via Telegram with Python.
This means that your bot will be able to send a message direct only to your only (like a whisper in secret ).
It’s extremely easy — it’s as playing around with bricks .
Why Private Alerts?
The private Telegram alerts are extremely helpful to:
Traders – Receive instant buy and sell alerts
Reminders – Medicine, meetings, deadlines
Price Alerts – Stocks, crypto, or even shopping deals
Developers – Testing scripts & servers
It’s basically as if you have your personal assistant. In essence, it’s your personal assistant .
Step 1: Create Your Bot
The term “bot” refers to a robot is a kind of small robot that can help you send messages.
- You can open the Telegram app to search BotFather (with the blue tick).
2. Type:
/start
Then you can type:
/newbot
BotFather will request an Name. Example: Private Alerts Bot.
Then it will ask you for the username (must begin with
the letters _bot).
For example: private_alerts_bot.BotFather will provide you with an small token (like an unidentified key ):
1234567890:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ
Keep this token safe. We’ll use it in Python.
Step 2: Find Your Chat ID
The Chat ID is similar to your house number, so the bot can determine which area to broadcast the notification.
Create with your robot (search for your bot’s username and click to start).
You can send messages to your robot (like “Hi Bot “).
Click this link to open it within the browser of your choice (replace
YOUR_TOKENwith the token of your bot):
https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_TOKEN/getUpdates
4. You’ll see something similar to this:
{
"message":{
"chat":{
"id":987654321,
"first_name":"YourName",
"type":"private"
},
"text":"Hi Bot 👋"
}
}
Here, 987654321 is your Chat ID.
Step 3: Write the Python Code
Let’s now create the Python code that will send you the first private notification
from telegram import Bot
# 🗝️ Your Bot Token
TOKEN = "1234567890:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ"
# 🆔 Your Chat ID (from Step 2)
CHAT_ID = 987654321
# 🤖 Create the bot
bot = Bot(token=TOKEN)
# 📢 Send an alert message
bot.send_message(chat_id=CHAT_ID, text="📢 Hello Trader! This is your private alert 🚀")
That’s all! Super short and simple.
Step 4: Run the Bot
Save the code to private_alert.py
Open your terminal and type:
python private_alert.py
Congratulations! You’ll get an alert within the Telegram chat: Telegram chat:
Hello Trader! This is your personal alert
