Connect a Telegram bot

Grab a token from @BotFather and connect it in under a minute.

  1. 1

    Create a bot with BotFather

    Message @BotFather on Telegram and run /newbot, following the prompts to name your bot.

  2. 2

    Copy the token

    BotFather replies with a token that looks like 1234567890:AAExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Copy it.

  3. 3

    Connect it in BotForge

    Open Channels → Connect Channel → Telegram, paste the token, and submit. BotForge validates it against Telegram's API, encrypts and stores it, and registers the webhook — no manual webhook step.

  4. 4

    Verify delivery

    Message your bot on Telegram. If the webhook didn't register (rare), the Health tab on the bot's page will show it — re-registering is one click from there.
