Custom Telegram Bot
Chatbro offers seamless synchronization between your web chats and Telegram groups, supergroups and channels. By default, we employ our dedicated bot, @ChatbroBot, to fulfill this purpose.
However, if you wish to personalize your synchronization bot to align with the theme of your group, you have the option to create and integrate your own bot into our platform. It will operate in a similar fashion to our @ChatbroBot.
How it works?
To initiate the procedure, you need to establish and set up a fresh bot via the official Telegram bot known as @Botfather. Although you can utilize an existing bot, but to mitigate potential conflicts, we strongly advise generating a new one.
Every Telegram bot is allocated a unique access key referred to as an access_token. This access key serves as the link through which our system can receive events from the bot and sync messages. You will be required to integrate this key into your Chatbro account.
Bot Creation Process
If you already have a bot, proceed to the subsequent section.
Open the Telegram app and search for @BotFather.
Click “Start” to activate the Bot.
As a response, you will receive a list of commands for bot management. Enter the /newbot command and send it.
Follow the instructions provided by the bot. Firstly, assign a name to your bot. Secondly, establish a unique username for your bot.
Upon confirming the username, you will receive a response message containing an access token.
