Connect via BotFather token — live in minutes

LiveAdapter: fully implemented

Authentication — How to get your token

  1. Open Telegram and message @BotFather
  2. Send /newbot and follow the prompts
  3. Copy the token BotFather sends you and paste it below

Reference: Telegram docs · Developer console: https://t.me/BotFather

Connection flow

The Connect Channel wizard walks through: Bot Token → Validate → Register Webhook → Done. Credentials are validated against Telegram's own API before being encrypted and stored — a bot never goes "connected" on an unverified credential.

Supported features

AI & Workflow support

Universal — any installed module (including AI Support) and every workflow trigger/action work identically on Telegram once the adapter is ready, since both operate on NormalizedUpdate, never on platform-specific payloads.
