# Set Up Telegram for unCoded

To connect unCoded with Telegram, you first need to set up a communication channel so the bot can send updates directly via Telegram. This setup is optional.

<Note>
  All steps in this documentation assume you are using the **Telegram desktop or mobile client** (Windows, iOS, Android).
