Telegram integration

Enjoy your AI agent in telegram. Once you create it, you may talk to it privately, or add it to groups and channels. Don't forget to grant admin rights to your bot to respond in groups.

Step 1. Create a bot in Telegram

Go to @Botfather in telegram and click the “Start” button or type /start in the chat.

Type /newbot to start the bot creation process and let BotFather guide you step-by-step:

• Provide a name for your bot. This is how users will see it.

• Provide a unique username for your bot. It must end with “bot” (e.g., arch_ai_bot)

• Once everything is set up, BotFather will generate an API token for your bot. This token is essential for connecting your bot to the Telegram API.

Step 2. Submit token

When you have the bot token, navigate to Telegram bot in Intregrations tab.

Submit the bot token in the field, and you'll see the integration as active.

Step 3. Give it a ride

Now you can continue the chat with the bot in Telegram privately, or add it to groups. Yes, it's that simple!

Telegram has a tech limitation, which prevents bots from seeing other bots' messages. Thus, you cannot make two agents talk to each other in the telegram chat. Use thearch.ai for it 😉
