Telegram

    Connect a Telegram bot to your workspace.

    Telegram is the easiest channel to set up — it only requires a bot token from BotFather.

    Step 1: Create a Bot

    Open Telegram and search for @BotFather. Send /newbot and follow the prompts to create your bot. BotFather will give you a bot token — copy it.

    Step 2: Connect to Raqi

    Navigate to Channels → Connect Channel → Telegram. Paste your bot token and click Connect. Your Telegram bot will start receiving messages immediately.

    Step 3: Customize Your Bot

    Back in BotFather, use these commands to personalize your bot:

    • /setname — Change the bot's display name
    • /setdescription — Set the bot's description (visible when users open the bot)
    • /setuserpic — Upload a profile picture for your bot
