🤖 Telegram Bot Setup for GitHub Actions

This guide will help you set up Telegram notifications for your GitHub Actions workflow.

📱 Step 1: Get Your Chat ID

1. Start a conversation with your bot:

   • Go to: https://t.me/Dual_Mode_Mood_bot
   • Click "START" or send any message like "Hello"

2. Get your Chat ID:

   # In your Codespaces terminal
   python3 telegram_notifier.py get-chat-id
   

3. Copy the Chat ID (it will be a number like 123456789)

🔐 Step 2: Add Secrets to GitHub Repository

1. Go to your GitHub repository

2. Click "Settings" → "Secrets and variables" → "Actions"

3. Click "New repository secret"

4. Add these secrets:

   Secret Name	Value	Description
   TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID	123456789	Your chat ID from step 1
   HF_USERNAME	your_hf_username	Your Hugging Face username
   HF_TOKEN	your_hf_token	Your Hugging Face token
   HF_SPACE_NAME	your_space_name	Your Hugging Face Space name

🧪 Step 3: Test the Integration

1. Test locally first:

   # Set your chat ID
   export TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="your_chat_id_here"
   
   # Test sending a message
   python3 telegram_notifier.py
   

2. Test with GitHub Actions:

   • Make a small change to any file
   • Commit and push to main branch
   • Check your Telegram for notifications!

🔧 Troubleshooting

Bot not responding?

• Make sure you've sent a message to the bot first
• Check that your Chat ID is correct
• Verify the bot token is correct

Notifications not working?

• Check that TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID secret is set in GitHub
• Look at the GitHub Actions logs for error messages
• Test the bot locally first

Bot token security?

• The bot token is visible in the code (for simplicity)
• In production, you should store it as a GitHub secret
• The token only allows sending messages to your specific chat
