Telegram uses a bot you create with @BotFather. You paste the Bot Token. Botcadence registers the webhook with Telegram automatically.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Telegram bot and token from @BotFather
  • Permission to create channels

​
Connect

1

Create a bot

In Telegram, open @BotFather, create a bot, and copy the token (it looks like 123456789:AA...).
2

Open Channels

In the project sidebar, select Channels. Select Telegram.
3

Paste Bot Token

On Connect Telegram Bot, enter Bot Token. Keep it secret.
4

Wait for verification

The wizard verifies the token. When it succeeds, you see Telegram Channel Connected! The identifier becomes the bot username (often @your_bot).

​
Verify

Open the bot in Telegram and send a message. It appears in Conversations.

​
Use it

Inbound Telegram chats use the workflow and tools on this channel. You can disconnect later from Channels if the type allows it. If the product shows a webhook status panel, use it only to confirm Telegram is reaching Botcadence. You do not paste a webhook URL in BotFather for the default flow.

​
Limits

  • Bot username should start with @ and use letters, numbers, and underscores.
  • Revoking the token in BotFather disconnects the channel until you paste a new token.

​
Troubleshooting

Copy the token again from BotFather. Do not add spaces. Confirm the bot was created successfully.
Send /start to the bot first. Confirm the channel is enabled. Wait a minute after connect for the webhook to register.
