Telegram

A Telegram bot of yours: read the messages people send it and post as it. It sees only chats it is in, and sending asks you first.

Ask your bot to…

  1. “Summarise what people sent the bot today”
  2. “Post the release notes to our announcements channel”
  3. “Which chats has the bot heard from?”

How to connect

  1. 1

    Get a bot token.

    Message @BotFather on Telegram, send /newbot, and paste the token it gives you. The bot must not have a webhook set. Add it to a group to let it read there.

    Getting a bot token
  2. 2

  3. 3

    Give it to a bot.

    A bot reaches only the connectors you give it.
