Eight simple steps

From BotFather to working automation

Follow these steps in order. You do not need coding experience.

Open Telegram’s official BotFather

BotFather is Telegram’s official tool for creating and managing bots. Check that the username is exactly @BotFather with the verified badge.

Open BotFather

Send the new-bot command

Tap Start, then send this command. BotFather will ask you to choose a display name.

Choose a name and username

Use any display name. The username must be unique and end in bot, for example TivalsSupportBot.

Copy your bot token privately

BotFather will send an API token. Treat it like a password. Never post it in a chat, screenshot, website, or public GitHub file.

Keep secret

Open Tivals AI Automation

Open the dashboard through the official Tivalsdeveloper bot, then choose Connectors → Connect your own bot.

Open dashboard

Paste the token and connect

The dashboard checks the token with Telegram and links the verified bot to your signed-in account. One bot cannot be controlled from another user’s account.

Ownership protected

Add business details and test

Add your business name, assistant name, services, prices, hours and policies. Send /start to your bot, then ask a real customer question.

Switch on Secretary Mode

In Telegram, open Settings → Telegram Business → Chatbots (or Chat Automation). Add your connected bot, allow it to manage and reply to messages, then choose the private chats it may access. Return to the Tivals dashboard, make sure Chat Automation is on, and send a test message from another Telegram account.

Your bot should reply only when it should

These rules protect the owner, customers and group conversations.

🔐

One owner per bot

The token is verified and bound to the account that connected it, preventing other users from reusing the same bot.

🤖

No bot-to-bot loops

Messages sent by bots are ignored so two automated accounts cannot keep replying to each other.

👥

Respect group chats

In groups, reply only when the bot is mentioned, directly replied to, or an approved command is used.

Important: If anyone sees your bot token, open BotFather, choose /revoke, select the bot, and connect the new token in your dashboard.

Before you finish

Test your setup

Tick each item as you complete it. Your progress is saved on this device.

I created the bot using the official @BotFather. The dashboard shows my bot as Connected. I added my business name, assistant name and accurate details. I sent /start and received a reply in the bot’s private chat. I tested that the bot stays quiet in unrelated group conversations. I kept the token private and did not save it in public files.

Common questions

Quick answers

Is it free to connect a Telegram bot?

Yes. The Tivals AI dashboard includes one Telegram bot connection on the free plan. AI usage limits may still apply to the plan shown in your dashboard.

How do I switch on Secretary Mode?

Open Telegram Settings → Telegram Business → Chatbots (or Chat Automation), add your connected bot, allow message management and replies, and choose the private chats it may access. Then open the Tivals dashboard and switch on Chat Automation. Telegram Business features may require Telegram Premium and the newest Telegram app.

Can the bot reply to my personal Telegram messages?

Yes, after Secretary Mode is configured through Telegram Business Chat Automation. A normal bot can only answer conversations opened directly with the bot; Telegram Business permission is what allows it to help with messages sent to your personal business account.

Why is my bot not replying?

Open the bot and press Start, confirm the dashboard says Connected, check that automation is switched on, and test in a private chat first. In a group, mention the bot or reply directly to one of its messages.

What should I add to the business profile?

Add your real business name, products or services, prices, working hours, delivery area, contact details, refund rules and anything customers regularly ask. Do not add passwords or secret keys.

Can two people connect the same bot token?

No. A bot should belong to one verified automation account. If you believe someone else has the token, revoke it in BotFather and create a new one.
