Telegram Connection Setup Guide
This guide will help you correctly configure the Telegram integration on your system. Please follow the steps below to connect your Telegram Bot.
1. Access Token
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- A bot Access Token
To generate your access token:
- Start a chat with the BotFather.
- Enter the /newbot command to create a new bot.
- The BotFather will ask you for a name and username for your new bot:
- The name is the bot's name displayed in contact details and elsewhere. You can change the bot name later.
- The username is a short name used in search, mentions, and t.me links. Use these guidelines when creating your username:
- Must be between 5 and 32 characters long.
- Not case-sensitive.
- May only include Latin characters, numbers, and underscores.
- Must end in bot, like tetris_bot or TetrisBot.
- You can't change the username later.
- Copy the bot token the BotFather generates and add it as the Access Token.
- Copy this token and paste it into the Access Token field in the form.
