### Manual Setup via Webhook

For advanced users wanting customization:

* Use webhook functionality for custom Telegram integrations
* Send alerts to personal chats, channels, or groups
* Configure advanced message formatting
* Follow our detailed guide at [Telegram Webhook Setup](/guide/alerts/Telegram-webhook)

<Note> The automatic method is recommended for most users, while the webhook approach offers more flexibility for specific needs.</Note>
