Hello! We have connected the plugin, everything is configured correctly according to your instructions. BUT nothing works, notifications do not come. What's wrong?
I want to take screenshots of how we configured. Can I get your email or telegram?

Sergey, there is no special configuration of the bot. The only relation between the bot and the plugin is that the teacher has to use the same bot that the Moodle administrator has put in site configuration with the correct token. The token is essential. It is the password that allows Moodle to use the bot to send the message.
And Moodle talks to Telegram using HTTPS. More specifically, with the URL https://api.telegram.org/bot".$bottoken. Your server needs to establish that connection. A firewall may block it.

Marcelo Schmitt, bot is admin in chat, but messages are not received in telegram.

Sergey, there is one think missing in my instructions. The teacher needs to add the bot as a admin member of the channel. Otherwise, the bot will not be able to send the message. I will put this in the instructions.

I did it according to the instructions. But notifications are not received in telegrams. Maybe i need to configure the bot? How to set up a bot for telegrams and your plugin?

Smart & Logica Learning, there is an explanation above. But the first thing is to add the block to the course.
The teacher needs to:
Create a Telegram account (https://telegram.org or download Telegram APP in cell phone).
Create a Telegram Private Channel.
Take note of the channel share link. Just go into your channel and click in the channel name.
Take note of Channel ID.
log in web telegram
Click on the target channel then you will find the url displayed on your browser.
If it's a private channel then the url must be similar to:
https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=c1018013852_555990343349619165
For this case, the channel ID would be 1018013852.
It's important to know that channel's IDs are always negative and 13 characters long!
So add -100 to it, making the correct ID -1001018013852.
Fill Channel ID and Channel Link when enabling block in course.
