You can connect your own Telegram account, add a Telegram bot, or both.<\/p>\n<h2>Which way should I choose?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Telegram Sessions<\/strong>: connect the Telegram account you already use, by scanning a QR code. Customers keep chatting with the same account they know.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Telegram bots<\/strong>: connect a bot you create in Telegram. Use a <strong>Private Chat Bot<\/strong> for one-to-one chats, or a <strong>Group Chat Bot<\/strong> to help in Telegram groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Option 1: Connect your account with Telegram Sessions<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>In TeleWhats, open <strong>Telegram Sessions<\/strong> from the <strong>Platform Quick Connect<\/strong> part of the left menu.<\/li>\n<li>Start a new session. A QR code appears.<\/li>\n<li>On your phone, open Telegram, go to <strong>Settings<\/strong>, then <strong>Devices<\/strong>, and choose to link a desktop device.<\/li>\n<li>Scan the QR code on the screen.<\/li>\n<li>When the session shows as connected, new Telegram chats start appearing in your <strong>Inbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Option 2: Add a Telegram bot<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>In Telegram, open a chat with <strong>@BotFather<\/strong>, the official tool for creating bots.<\/li>\n<li>Send <code>\/newbot<\/code>, choose a display name and a username that ends in &#8220;bot&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>BotFather gives you a bot token. Keep it private: anyone with the token can control the bot.<\/li>\n<li>In TeleWhats, open <strong>Telegram Sessions<\/strong> and use the bot panel below it to open the <strong>Private Chat Bot<\/strong> or <strong>Group Chat Bot<\/strong> tool.<\/li>\n<li>Paste your bot token and save. Send your bot a message from your own Telegram account to test it.<\/li>\n<li>For a group bot, add the bot to your Telegram group and give it the permissions it needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Put a link to your bot or account on your website and social profiles, for example <code>t.me\/yourbot<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on Telegram in <strong>AI Training<\/strong> under <strong>Deploy<\/strong> if you want the AI assistant to answer Telegram chats too.<\/li>\n<li>If you ever reset your bot token in BotFather, paste the new token into TeleWhats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Next steps<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/telewhats-inbox-reply-customers\/\">Reply to customers from the Inbox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/telewhats-ai-training-guide\/\">Train your AI assistant<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connect your Telegram account with a QR code, or add a Telegram bot for private chats and groups, so Telegram messages arrive in your TeleWhats inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27708,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[687],"tags":[692,696,690],"class_list":["post-26934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-telewhats","tag-how-to","tag-telegram","tag-telewhats","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26949,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26934\/revisions\/26949"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
