Launch a Telegram bot in two minutes.

1. Create a bot with BotFather

Open @BotFather in Telegram and send /newbot. Pick a display name (e.g. Acme Support) and a unique handle ending in _bot (e.g. @acme_support_bot).

BotFather replies with a token like:

1234567890:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11

Keep it private — anyone with this token can post as your bot.

2. Paste it into Janore

Open Dashboard → Channels → Telegram → Connect and paste the token. Janore extracts the bot's username automatically and verifies the token works.

3. Register the webhook

Easiest path: hit Auto-register webhook in the dashboard. Janore calls Telegram's API for you.

Or do it by hand from your terminal:

curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot{YOUR_TOKEN}/setWebhook?url=https://janore.com/api/v1/channels/telegram/{ASSISTANT_ID}"

You should get back {"ok":true,"result":true}.

4. Say hi

Search for your bot's username in Telegram (e.g. @your_bot_username), tap Start, and send a message. Janore replies in the user's language, drawing from your knowledge base.

Tips

• Polish the profile. In BotFather: /setdescription, /setabouttext, /setuserpic, /setcommands for the slash menu.
• Group chats. Janore supports groups. Add the bot, give it permission to read messages, and it will respond when mentioned by name.
• Rate limits. Telegram allows 30 messages per second per bot. Plenty for normal traffic; reach out if you expect bursts above that.
• Lost the token? Send /token to BotFather to regenerate, then update Janore.
