VirtuOps

Telegram

Telegram is the fastest channel to go live on. Start with the managed Create bot flow from the Deploy tab, or link an existing BotFather token if you already have one.

Connecting Telegram#

  1. Start the managed flow

    Open your bot's Deploy tab, find the Telegram card, and click Create bot. VirtuOps opens Telegram to finish the managed setup.

  2. Or link an existing bot

    If you already created a Telegram bot in @BotFather, use Link existing bot and paste its API token.

  3. Go live

    Once saved, the card shows Connected and the bot answers messages sent to it on Telegram.

Connection status#

The Telegram card shows the channel's current state:

  • Connected — the token is valid and the bot is live.
  • Not set up — no token yet.
  • Error — the token is invalid or was revoked in BotFather. Paste a fresh token to fix it.

One token per bot

A Telegram bot token maps to a single VirtuOps bot. To run several Telegram assistants, create a separate Telegram bot for each.

Disconnecting#

Use the Telegram card to disconnect when you want to stop serving the channel — for example while you rework the bot. Disconnecting stops replies on Telegram but keeps your bot, knowledge and history intact.
