# Notification Channels
**Notification Channels** deliver alerts through **7 integrated channels** — [Telegram](#telegram), [E-mail](#e-mail), [Lark](#lark), [Webhook](#webhook), [Slack](#slack), [Discord](#discord), and [PagerDuty](#pagerduty).
Each channel can independently subscribe to two types of notifications:
* **Risk Engines** — Alerts triggered by your mapped Risk Engines.
* **Monitor Events** — Risk changes detected on your monitored addresses. See [Monitor](/manual/monitor.md#setting-up-notifications) for configuration details.
## Telegram
The **Telegram Notification Channel** offers three alert delivery modes: **User Chat**, **Group Chat**, and **Channel**.
* **User Chat Mode**: Alerts will be sent directly to the bot.
* **Group/Channel Mode**: The bot pushes alert messages to a pre-configured Telegram group or channel.
The configuration steps for each mode are detailed below.
### **Telegram User Chat Mode**
* **Step 1**: Search for **@BlockSecPhalcon\_bot** () in Telegram and open a chat with this bot.
* **Step 2**: Send the `/getchatid` command in the chat with the bot to receive your "User ID".
* **Step 3**: Create a Telegram notification channel in Phalcon and select the "User" chat type.
* **Step 4**: Paste your "User ID" into the specified field to complete the channel creation.
When a risk engine associated with this channel is triggered, the bot will automatically send a structured alert message to this chat (as shown in the example below).
### **Telegram Group Chat Mode**
* **Step 1**: Add @BlockSecPhalcon\_bot to the Telegram group where you want to receive alerts.
* **Step 2**: Send the `/getchatid` command in the group chat to get the "Group Chat ID".
* **Step 3**: Create a Telegram notification channel in Phalcon and select the "Group" chat type.
* **Step 4**: Paste the "Group ID" into the specified field to complete the channel creation.
### **Telegram Channel Mode**
* **Step 1**: Add @BlockSecPhalcon\_bot as an administrator to your Telegram channel.
* **Step 2**: Send the `/getchannelid` command in the channel chat to get the "Channel ID".
* **Step 3**: Create a Telegram notification channel in Phalcon and select the "Channel" chat type.
* **Step 4**: Paste the "Channel ID" into the specified field to complete the channel creation.
## E-mail

## Webhook
The **Webhook channel** allows you to receive Phalcon's alert messages directly in your own servers or applications. It can be thought of as creating a secure bridge between Phalcon and your system—whenever your monitors are triggered, Phalcon automatically sends these alerts to your server via this bridge.
* **Step 1**: Create a Webhook channel in Phalcon.
* **Step 2**: Enter your Webhook Server URL.
> If your server uses Basic Authentication, please provide the necessary credentials.
For detailed Webhook message formats and technical specifications, please refer to the following document:

## Discord
* **Step 1**: In the Discord channel where you want to receive alerts, click `Edit Channel`.
