# How to get Telegram chat, group and channel identifiers

To deliver event notifications to Back Office users through Telegram, you must specify a user’s personal Telegram identifier or the identifier of a group or channel to which notifications will be sent.

To get a user’s Telegram identifier, the user should do the following:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Telegram, send a message to [@getidsbot](https://t.me/getidsbot?do=open_link) and get the response containing the user’s Telegram identifier.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Copy the obtained identifier and paste it to the **Telegram chat Id** field available on the[ Back Office user details page](https://docs.b2core.b2broker.com/back-office-guide/system/users/users#details).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

To get the identifier of a Telegram group or channel in which a user is the admin, the user should do the following:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to a Telegram group or channel whose identifier the user wants to get.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add [@getidsbot](https://t.me/getidsbot?do=open_link) to the selected group or channel and get the response containing the group or channel identifier.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Copy the obtained identifier and paste it to the **Group Id** field displayed under the enabled **Telegram** option when configuring event notifications.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
