To use the Telegram integration, you'll need to create a Telegram bot using the BotFather - Telegram's official bot for creating and managing bots.

Prerequisites​

  1. Telegram Account
  2. Telegram bot: Follow the steps below to create a bot

Create a Telegram Bot via BotFather​

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather (the official bot for creating and managing Telegram bots).

  2. Start a conversation with BotFather by sending /start.

  3. Create a new bot by sending the /newbot command.

  4. BotFather will ask you to choose a name for your bot. This is the display name that users will see.

    Example: AutoKitteh Assistant

  5. Next, choose a username for your bot.

    Example: autokitteh_assistant_bot

  6. Once your bot is created successfully, BotFather will send you a message containing your bot token. This token looks like:

    1234567890:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz

  7. Save this token securely. You'll need it to initialize the connection in AutoKitteh.
