VirtuOps

Telegram

Telegram is the fastest channel to go live on. You create a bot with Telegram's BotFather, copy its token, and paste it into the Deploy tab — your assistant starts replying right away.

Connecting Telegram#

  1. Create a Telegram bot

    In Telegram, open @BotFather, send /newbot, and follow the prompts to name your bot and pick a username.

  2. Copy the token

    BotFather replies with an API token — a long string like 123456:ABC-DEF…. Copy it.

  3. Paste it into Deploy

    Open your bot's Deploy tab, find the Telegram card, and paste the token.

  4. 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  • Error — the token is invalid or was revoked in BotFather.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.
