Telegram Integration
ChatBotKit's Telegram integration connects your Telegram bot to the platform, bringing AI-driven responses to one of the world's most popular messaging apps. Link a bot in a few clicks and start delivering automated, personalized conversations to your Telegram audience without writing code.
The integration works in both private chats and group chats, so the same assistant can help individuals one-on-one and participate in shared group conversations.
What You Can Do
- Connect in a few clicks: Link your Telegram bot to ChatBotKit without extensive technical setup.
- Chat privately or in groups: Use the bot in direct conversations or invite it into group chats.
- Mention it in groups: Once added to a group, members reference the bot with
@botnamefollowed by their message. - Customize behavior: Configure the bot's model, backstory, skillsets, and interaction flows from the dashboard.
How It Works
ChatBotKit and Telegram synchronize messages in real time. In private chats, the bot responds to every message. In group chats, you invite the bot as an admin so it can read messages and respond when mentioned. When the bot performs sensitive operations as part of an agentic workflow, it adjusts its security context depending on whether it was invoked in a public or private setting, keeping group interactions safe.
Setup
Create a Telegram integration in ChatBotKit, provide your Telegram bot token, and select the bot that should respond. To use the assistant in a group, add it to the group as an admin so it can read and reply to messages.
Practical Uses
Telegram bots are well suited to community engagement, customer support, content delivery, and group assistants. Group chat support makes the bot a useful participant in team and community channels, while private chats handle direct, personalized requests.
