📱 Telegram Bot

🖼️ Template Setup

• Open the Telegram app and search for the BotFather user.
• Start a chat with BotFather and use the /newbot command to create a new bot.
• Follow the instructions to choose a name and username for your bot.
• Once the bot is created, BotFather will provide you with a unique token for your bot.

• docker
• replit

docker run --name telegram-bot -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=xxx -p 8000:8000 embedchain/telegram-bot

If you wish to use Docker, you would need to host your bot on a server. You can use ngrok to expose your localhost to the internet and then set the webhook using the ngrok URL.

• Click on Run in the replit container and a URL will get generated for your bot.
• Now set your webhook by running the following link in your browser:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<Your_Telegram_Bot_Token>/setWebhook?url=<Replit_Generated_URL>

• When you get a successful response in your browser, your bot is ready to be used.

🚀 Usage Instructions

• Open your bot by searching for it using the bot name or bot username.
• Click on Start or type /start and follow the on screen instructions.

🎉 Happy Chatting! 🎉
