# Add a Telegram notification channel

{% hint style="info" %}
We made a major improvement to Telegram notification channel creation on 2023-11-08. Your existing channels from before that date will continue working until further notice. All your new channels from this point forward will be created with the updated procedure.
{% endhint %}

To set up a Telegram notification channel, simply input your Telegram handle (including or excluding the "@") and click Add. 

When you click Add, a channel will be created on Telegram with a welcome message from Aegis. Your Telegram channel name will be composed of "Aegis" & the name you assign to this channel in Aegis on creation.
