+### Telegram notifications
+
+To enable telegram notifications, you'll need to take a few additional steps.
+
+1. [Create a new Bot](https://core.telegram.org/bots#creating-a-new-bot)
+2. Set the api token you received when creating the bot as content of the `SECRET_TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN` secret in your github repository.
+3. Send a message to the bot from the telegram account which should receive the alerts (Something more than `/start`)
+4. Get the chat id with `curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR TELEGRAM API TOKEN>/getUpdates | jq '.result[0] .message .chat .id'`
+5. Set the retrieved chat id in the `SECRET_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` secret variable
+6. Redeploy the status page using the github action
+
 ### Deploy on your own
 
 You can clone the repository yourself and use Wrangler CLI to develop/deploy, extra list of things you need to take care of:
