Setup Guide

Connect to Wakflo

In Wakflo, select Telegram Bot integration and enter your bot token to establish the connection. If you don't have a bot token yet, you'll need to create a bot using @BotFather in Telegram first.

To create a bot token, open Telegram, search for @BotFather, and use the /newbot command. Keep your bot token secure and never share it publicly.

Test Connection

Verify the connection by sending a test message.

The Telegram Bot integration requires a bot token from BotFather. Make sure to keep your bot token secure and never share it publicly.

Best Practices

Working with Telegram Bots

•Use markdown formatting for rich message content in Telegram
•Implement command handlers for interactive bot functionality
•Keep bot responses concise and user-friendly
•Use inline keyboards for better user interaction
•Monitor bot performance and message delivery rates

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

•Verify that your bot token is valid and hasn't been revoked
•Ensure the bot token is correctly copied without extra spaces
•Check that the bot hasn't been deleted in BotFather

Message Delivery Issues

•Ensure chat IDs are correctly formatted (negative for groups, positive for users)
•Verify that the bot has been added to the group or channel
•Check that message content doesn't exceed Telegram's limits (4096 characters)

Rate Limiting

•Telegram enforces rate limits of 30 messages per second per bot
•Implement delays between bulk message operations
•Use exponential backoff when receiving rate limit errors
