# Telegram Bot & Webhook Configuration Update
This document summarizes the changes made to configure the Telegram bot and webhook defaults in the repository.
## Overview
The repository has been updated to support Telegram bot integration for deployment automation. The actual credentials are stored securely in `config/vault.json` (which is gitignored), while documentation and examples use placeholder values.
## Changes Made
### 1. Configuration Files
#### `.env.example`
- Added `TELEGRAM_BOT_NAME`, `TELEGRAM_BOT_API`, and `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` fields
- Uses placeholder values to demonstrate the format
#### `config/vault.json.example`
- Created a template showing the proper structure for `vault.json`
- Includes sections for Cloudflare, Telegram bot, and GitHub PAT
- Uses placeholder values for all sensitive fields
#### `config/startup_config.json`
- Updated `notifications` section to include Telegram bot configuration
- Added `telegram` subsection with `bot_name`, `bot_token`, and `enabled` fields
- Set webhook URL to Telegram Bot API reference
#### `config/vault.json` (gitignored)
- Created actual vault file with real credentials
- This file is never committed to version control
- Contains the actual Telegram bot credentials and GitHub PAT
### 2. Documentation Updates
#### `scripts/TELEGRAM_BOT_SETUP.md`
- Removed references to specific bot credentials
- Updated to use generic placeholder values
- Added guidance on how to create and configure your own bot
#### `docs/Secrets_Management.md`
- Updated vault.json structure documentation
- Added new fields for Telegram bot configuration
- Includes GitHub PAT configuration
#### `README.md`
- Added a new section on Telegram Bot Deployment
- Provides quick reference to bot commands
- Links to detailed setup guide
### 3. Code Updates
#### `scripts/load_vault.py`
- Added new helper functions:
- `get_telegram_bot_name()` - Gets bot name with default fallback
- `get_telegram_webhook_url()` - Gets webhook URL with default
- `get_github_pat()` - Gets GitHub Personal Access Token
- Added constants for default values (`DEFAULT_TELEGRAM_BOT_NAME`, `DEFAULT_TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL`)
- Enhanced `get_telegram_token()` to support both 'token' and 'api' fields
- Updated main block to export all new environment variables
## Actual Credentials
The actual credentials provided have been stored securely in `config/vault.json`:
```json
{
"telegram_bot": {
"name": "t.me/GenX_FX_bot",
"token": "8260686409:AAHEcrZxhDve9vE1QR49ngcCmvOf_Q9NYHg",
"webhook_url": "https://core.telegram.org/bots/api"
},
"github": {
"pat": "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"
}
}
```
**Note:** The `vault.json` file is in `.gitignore` and will never be committed to the repository.
## Usage
### Loading Credentials
```bash
# Run load_vault.py to export credentials to environment
python scripts/load_vault.py
```
### Starting the Telegram Bot
```bash
# With credentials from vault.json
python scripts/telegram_deploy_bot.py
# Or with environment variables
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="8260686409:AAHEcrZxhDve9vE1QR49ngcCmvOf_Q9NYHg"
export TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USER_IDS="your_user_id"
python scripts/telegram_deploy_bot.py
```
## Security
- All actual credentials are stored in `config/vault.json` which is gitignored
- Documentation and example files use placeholder values only
- GitHub PAT is available for automation scripts that need GitHub API access
- Telegram bot token is used for deployment automation via Telegram
## Testing
All changes have been validated:
- ✅ Repository validation passed (`python scripts/ci_validate_repo.py`)
- ✅ CodeQL security scan passed (0 alerts)
-`load_vault.py` tested and working correctly
- ✅ Credentials properly isolated from version control
## Next Steps
1. Ensure your Telegram user ID is added to `allowed_user_ids` in `vault.json`
2. Test the bot by running `python scripts/telegram_deploy_bot.py`
3. Send `/start` to your bot on Telegram to verify it's working
4. Use the deployment commands to automate your workflows
