Build your first Chat Bot

This walks you through creating a simple Telegram bot from nothing to actually replying in a real chat.

1. Create the project. From your Dashboard, click New Project, name it, and choose Chat Bot.
2. Connect it to Telegram. Message @BotFather on Telegram to get a bot token, then paste it into your project's Connection tab, see "Connecting your bot to Telegram" for the full walkthrough if you get stuck.
3. Create your first flow. Go to the Flows tab and click Create Your First Flow. Name it, set its trigger to Command, and enter start (Telegram users commonly send /start first when opening a bot).
4. Build its behavior. Inside the flow builder, add a Send Message block connected to the trigger and give it a welcome message, enough to prove everything's connected.
5. Optional: reply to anything else. Create a second flow with an "Any message" trigger if you want your bot to respond to messages that aren't a recognized command.
6. Save the flow from the builder's header.
7. Try it for real. Open a real chat with your bot on Telegram and send /start, you should see it reply exactly as you configured.

Turn this into a video

A short script you can record with simple screen-capture software (OBS Studio, Loom, etc.) while following the steps above:

1. Create a new Chat Bot project and show the @BotFather token connection step.
2. Create a first flow from scratch, a Command trigger and a Send Message block.
3. Save the flow.
4. Switch to Telegram and actually message the bot live, showing its reply.

Keep it under 3-5 minutes, screen-record your own editor while narrating, viewers learn faster watching a real build than reading steps alone.
