How to create a bot in Telegram

Telegram bots carry a very large payload. With their help, you can implement a huge number of things, for example: download music, download videos from various web services, moderate your community, and so on. So in our today's article one very interesting topic will be touched upon. We will talk about how to create a bot in Telegram. And without delay, let's get right down to business.

Beginning of work

There are a huge number of services that allow you to create a bot for Telegram. They work differently and differ in their quality. We will not list all the options, but only show one of the best ways to accomplish the task. Therefore, we do the following:

1. Using the search, we find a bot named @Manybot. When this is done, click the "Run" button at the very bottom of the screen. Next, the bot will prompt you to select a language, which is what we need to do.
2. The next step is to click the button to add a new bot. Once this is done, the bot will show us a brief instruction on how to get the token. It boils down to this:
   1. Go to @BotFather and send him a Send Message.
   2. Using the command [k]newbot[/k] create a new bot.
   3. Copy the API token.

3. When our token is created and received, we send it to the first bot. If everything goes well, you will see a message like this.

4. As a result, you will be asked to enter brief information about the bot. However, this step can be skipped.

Now that our bot has been created, we can move on to setting it up.

3. After that, we enter the answer that the bot should give to the above command. Please note that this can be not only text, but also any other file types. We attach everything necessary to the message and send it to our bot. We can also turn on the random message mode. As a result, your bot will randomly display one of the responses you create.
4. When all the necessary changes are made, we save the result using the button immediately available.

Also, for the convenience of our visitors (or any other people who will work with the bot), we can add the desired item to the menu. To do this, we take a few simple steps:

1. Initially, press the main menu settings button. Next, click on "Add item".

2. We enter the command that we created. Also in the next step, we can customize the appearance of the new menu and set its name.
3. As a result, the command will appear in the main menu of the bot and anyone can use it.

It is also important to know that we can even create a multi-level menu and put any functionality into it.
