🚀 Getting Started

1. First, you need to create your own Telegram bot. This process only takes about 3 minutes and can be done by writing to @BotFather. Follow the instructions to create a new bot and set it up as desired. If you need more information about creating your own Telegram Bot, you can find it on the telegram official website.

2. Next, obtain your Bot Token from the bot you've created. These values are required to configure the plugin. You can get a Bot Token through @BotFather.

3. Obtain your Chat ID, you can use the @getidsbot bot. Simply write to him and it will send you your Chat ID. It will look something like this:
   👤 You
├ id: 123456789 👈 your Chat ID

   • If the upper step didn't work, there is an alternative solution: Go to https://api.telegram.org/bot{YourBotToken}/getUpdates, and replace {YourBotToken} with your actual token. You should see something like "chat":{"id":123456789, copy the "id" number (123456789) - this is your Chat ID.

4. Fill Bot Token and Chat ID in the plugin settings and add other information as you choose.

5. Reload the obsidian after configuring the plugin.

6. Done!

🔔 Sending Notifications

To create scheduled notifications, simply add the "scheduled" property to your file (or use your own if you've changed it in the settings). Also, you can add the date directly in the body of the file, preceded by 📅 (which can be changed in the settings as well).

Plugin scans for new notifications every 50 seconds.

💡 Tips

The best way for me to use this plugin is by note properties as far as you can simply pick a date via the user interface, using the Obsidian's built-in properties feature.

Otherwise, if you need to insert an inline date, the Date Inserter plugin would be convenient for you.

The Date Inserter plugin provides a user interface for inserting inline dates. To make your experience even better, you can configure it a little by copying your Schedule Inline Prefix of the Telegram Notifier plugin into the Date Format field of the Date Inserter plugin. This will allow you ability to insert the entire date template within a single shortcut and simple user interface. Additionally, you can change the shortcut in the Date Inserter's settings.
