To set up Telegram notifications for OMX, use a guided natural-language flow to collect your bot token, chat ID, parse mode, and event triggers. The configuration is then written directly to ~/.codex/.omx-config.json to alert you on session events.

Configuring a Telegram bot for OMX alerts requires a valid bot token and a target chat ID. You will also select a parse mode and define specific event triggers during the interactive setup process to start receiving task alerts.

Yes, OMX Telegram notifications support environment variable overrides. The interactive setup writes merged configuration settings to ~/.codex/.omx-config.json, while environment variables provide an alternative method to manage bot token and chat ID values.

The Telegram bot setup process uses an interactive prompt to define event triggers for OMX session events and tasks. You specify the exact session events that should trigger an alert, and the skill saves these triggers to your configuration file.

The best way to test Telegram alerts is by using the built-in test messaging feature during the configuration flow. This verifies that your bot token, chat ID, and parse mode are correctly set up before finalizing the OMX notification configuration.

Telegram notifications may fail if the bot token, chat ID, or parse mode are incorrect in ~/.codex/.omx-config.json. Using a guided setup flow ensures your event triggers are properly configured and validates your settings with a test message.
