Telegram

Connect a Telegram bot to one of your agents.

Telegram

Connect a Telegram bot so people can chat with one of your agents from Telegram. You can connect more than one bot, each paired to a different agent.

Before you start

A bot connects to an agent, so make sure the workspace has at least one agent first. You'll also need a bot token from @BotFather on Telegram — create a bot there and copy the token it gives you.

Connect

  1. Open Settings ▸ Integrations and select Connect Telegram bot.
  2. Choose the agent that should answer messages.
  3. Paste the bot token from @BotFather.
  4. Choose who can message the bot:
    • All users — anyone who messages the bot.
    • Specific usernames only — an allowlist of Telegram usernames (comma or newline separated, without the @).
  5. Select Connect.

Manage it

Each connected bot shows as a card on the Integrations page with its agent, bot username, and response mode. From the card you can:

  • Edit — change the response mode and allowlist, or pause the bot (it stops responding without losing its configuration). To change the bot token, disconnect and reconnect.
  • Disconnect — stop the bot from receiving messages. You can reconnect later.

Using it

Message your bot in Telegram and the assigned agent responds — the same agent you use in BetterClaw, now reachable from your phone.
