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.

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
  2. Send the command /newbot
  3. Follow the prompts to name your bot
  4. Choose a username for your bot (must end with _bot)
Open BotFather

Step 2: Copy Your Bot Token

After creating your bot, BotFather will send you a token. It looks like this:

123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz

Important: Keep your bot token secret! Anyone with this token can control your bot.

Step 3: Connect in Flowly

  1. Go to your Flowly dashboard
  2. Navigate to your server's Connections tab
  3. Click Connect Telegram
  4. Paste your bot token
  5. Enter your bot's username (e.g., @my_awesome_bot)
  6. 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.
