# Configuration in Pandora FMS: creating an alert action

The Telegram® plugin is fully integrated into Pandora FMS 800.

Go to the **Management→Alerts→ Actions** menu and in **Filter** select **Pandora Telegram** in the **Command or search** field. The alert actions that use the **Pandora Telegram** command will be displayed:

You may:

- Use the default action on Pandora FMS.
- Copy the previous action and customize it as needed. (It may be the case that several groups of agents use different alert actions configured according to each case)
- Create an action based on the Telegram alert command (read-only).

In any case, the configuration is similar:

- Indicate and select the name and group.
- Ensure that **Pandora Telegram** is selected in **Command** list.
- In **Chat ID**, enter the corresponding identifier*.*
- The default **Message** field for **Triggering** is `[PANDORA] Alert FIRED on _agent_ / _module_ / _timestamp_ / _data_` . See the other [macros available](https://pandorafms.com/manual/en/documentation/pandorafms/management_and_operation/01_alerts#ks15) to insert more information.
- The default **Message** field for **Recovery** is `[PANDORA] Alert RECOVERED on _agent_ / _module_ / _timestamp_ / _data_` . See the other [macros available](https://pandorafms.com/manual/en/documentation/pandorafms/management_and_operation/01_alerts#ks15) to insert more information.
- Press the **Create** button if you are creating an alert action or **Update** if you are editing to save the parameters.

Click **Create**. Once you have created this alert action, it can be included in [a policy](https://pandorafms.com/manual/en/documentation/pandorafms/complex_environments_and_optimization/02_policy "PFMS: Policies monitoring"), [a template](https://pandorafms.com/manual/en/documentation/pandorafms/technical_annexes/34_pfms_templates_policies_massives "PFMS: Differences between Templates, Policies, and Mass Operations"), or [Module](https://pandorafms.com/manual/es/documentation/pandorafms/management_and_operation/01_alerts#ks5_2 "PFMS: Gestionar alertas desde el agente").
