Set Up Your Telegram Bot

To connect the Bots module to Telegram, you need to create a bot via BotFather and copy the generated token into the module settings.

1. Open the Telegram app on your phone or computer.

2. Search for the BotFather bot — he's the official Telegram bot for creating and managing bots.

3. Type /newbot to create a new bot. Follow the instructions:

   • Choose a display name (e.g. My PVE Bot)
   • Choose a username — must be unique and end in bot (e.g. my_pve_bot)

4. BotFather will generate an API token (e.g. 707587383:AAHD9D***************).

5. Copy the token and paste it into the Token field in the Bots module settings.

Tip

If you are creating a bot just for testing, prefix the username with your name to make it unique (e.g. john_pve_bot).
