Telegram setup

Create a bot with BotFather and connect it in one minute.

Telegram is the quickest channel to connect: create a bot, paste its token, done — Pommy sets the webhook up automatically.

The Telegram Bot Integration dialog in Pommy with the bot-creation steps and token field
The guided Telegram setup — three steps with BotFather, then paste the token.
  1. Message @BotFather on Telegram

    Open Telegram and start a chat with @BotFather — Telegram's official bot for creating bots.

  2. Create your bot

    Send the /newbot command and follow the prompts: pick a display name (e.g. your business name) and a username ending in "bot".

  3. Copy the token and verify

    BotFather replies with a bot token. Paste it into the Telegram setup dialog in Pommy and click Verify and Complete Setup — the token is checked and the webhook is configured automatically.

That's it. Customers who message your bot now appear in the Agent console; the assistant replies there just like in the widget. The dialog also offers an optional test message to confirm the wiring.

Tip: Put the bot's link (t.me/your-bot-name) on your website and social profiles so customers can find it.
