How to Send TradingView Alerts to Telegram — Free Webhook Method (2026)

Short answer: TradingView cannot message Telegram directly — but it can call a webhook URL the moment an alert fires. Point that webhook at a forwarding service like CopyConnectFX TV Alerts, and the alert lands in your Telegram chat, channel or group within seconds. Setup is about 5 minutes, needs no coding and no server, and the forwarding side is free.

What you need before starting

• A TradingView plan with webhooks — Essential or higher (webhooks are a TradingView feature gate, free TradingView accounts cannot send them).
• A Telegram account and the channel or group you want alerts in.
• A free CopyConnectFX account for the webhook → Telegram bridge.

Step 1 — Create your Telegram bot (2 minutes)

1. Open Telegram, search @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts.
2. Copy the bot token BotFather gives you (a long string with a colon).
3. Add the bot to your channel or group and promote it to admin — without admin rights it cannot post.
4. Get your channel ID with @RawDataBot — channel IDs start with -100.

Step 2 — Create the webhook URL (1 minute)

In your CopyConnectFX dashboard, open TV Alerts, paste the bot token and channel ID, and create a webhook. You get a personal webhook URL — one line, no server to host, nothing to code.

Step 3 — Paste it into TradingView (2 minutes)

1. On your TradingView chart, create or edit an alert.
2. Open the Notifications tab and tick Webhook URL.
3. Paste your webhook URL and write your message, for example: {{ticker}} {{strategy.order.action}} @ {{close}}.
4. Save. When the alert triggers, the formatted message appears in Telegram in seconds.

DIY bot vs forwarding service — honest comparison

If you enjoy running servers, the DIY route works. If you just want alerts in Telegram reliably, the bridge is the 5-minute answer.

Troubleshooting checklist

• Nothing arrives: confirm your TradingView plan supports webhooks, and check the TV Alerts log — if the alert reached the webhook, the problem is on the Telegram side.
• Bot can't post: it must be an admin of the channel/group.
• Wrong chat: channel IDs need the -100 prefix from @RawDataBot.
• Once fired, then stopped: TradingView "Only once" alerts fire a single time — use "Once per bar close" for recurring signals.

What signal providers add next

Running a signals community? Route one alert to your announcement channel and your VIP group at once, and pair it with a public verified results page so members see real performance, not screenshots. If you also auto-trade the signals, the same free account includes a local MT4/MT5 trade copier to mirror the trades across your accounts.

Chart to channel in seconds. Create your webhook free — no card, no coding.
