Connect your Telegram bot to Flowly
Prerequisites
- A Telegram account
- A deployed Flowly server
Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot
First, you need to create a new bot on Telegram using BotFather.
- Open Telegram and search for
@BotFather - Send the command
/newbot - Follow the prompts to name your bot
- Choose a username for your bot (must end with
_bot)
Step 2: Copy Your Bot Token
After creating your bot, BotFather will send you a token. It looks like this:
123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyzImportant: Keep your bot token secret! Anyone with this token can control your bot.
Step 3: Connect in Flowly
- Go to your Flowly dashboard
- Navigate to your server's Connections tab
- Click Connect Telegram
- Paste your bot token
- Enter your bot's username (e.g.,
@my_awesome_bot) - Click Connect
Step 4: Start Using Your Bot
Open a chat with your bot on Telegram and send /start. Your AI assistant is now ready to help!
Try asking it questions like:
- "What can you help me with?"
- "Remind me to call mom tomorrow at 3pm"
- "Summarize this article: [paste URL]"
Troubleshooting
Bot not responding?
Make sure your server is running and OpenClaw is deployed. Check the server status in your dashboard.
Invalid token error?
Double-check that you copied the entire token from BotFather, including the numbers before the colon.
