Noti: Telegram Bad Request: chat not found

I set up Telegram access as described in the guide. Every time I run noti -g I get the following output:

$ noti -g

Create bot at BotFather as described in the docs.
Write to your bot (at t.me/<USERNAME_BOT>) a message.
Go to https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates?offset=0 and copy the numerical chat id of the message (123456789 or something).
Set token and chatId at the config (but without the @ sign).

Solved my own issue. The "Chat ID" is separate from your username, and is a Telegram API construct that must be identified separately.
