System administrators configure the bot credentials once for the whole system. Kron PAM stores this configuration on the **Integrations** tab of the **System Configuration Manager** screen, next to **Email Configuration**, **SAML Configuration**, and the other integration cards.

:::hint{type="warning"}
Create a Telegram bot with BotFather and obtain its HTTP API token and bot username before you configure the integration in Kron PAM.
:::

To configure the Telegram integration:

1.      Navigate to **Administration** > **System Configuration Manager** > **Integrations**.

2.      Click to the **Telegram Integration** card to open the **Edit Telegram Integration** window.

3.      Enter the HTTP API token of the bot in the **Bot Token** field.

4.      Enter the username of the bot in the **Bot Username** field. 

5.      Set the **Enable Telegram** toggle to on.

6.      Click **Test Connection**. Kron PAM queries Telegram with the token and reports the result inline.

7.      Click **SAVE**.

| **Field**       | **Description**                                                                                                                                     |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Enable Telegram | Activates Telegram delivery for the system. While the toggle is off, Kron PAM hides every Telegram screen and suspends group-level delivery.        |
| Bot Token       | HTTP API token of the bot. Kron PAM validates the token with **Test Connection** and stores it encrypted. Required while **Enable Telegram** is on. |
| Bot Username    | Username of the bot, up to 32 characters. Kron PAM shows this value, and a link to the bot, to users during registration.                           |

:::hint{type="info"}
Kron PAM never returns the bot token in plain text. After the first save, the **Bot Token** field displays a masked value. Turning off **Enable Telegram** does not unlink users, so their registrations remain valid when you turn the integration on again.
