2. Create the destination chat

+- Open a browser and invoke `https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates` (where `<token>` is the authentication token previously obtained e.g.: `https://api.telegram.org/bot158642643:ABCHL_O-MUovQ1NzrDF5R_nqLbFhPPrg9Jps/getUpdates`)
- Look at the JSON result to find the value of `id`: that's the chatID.
Note that if using a Telegram group chat, the group chatIDs are prefixed with a dash that must be included in the config (e.g. `-22334455`).
