How to use Telegram bots
Most services work like this: you launch a bot, add it to your channel or chat, give the bot administrator rights. After that it starts to work.
To start, follow the link to the desired bot. When the dialog box opens, click the “Run” button – this is the /start command. After activating it, the bot will tell you how it can be useful and explain how to get started.
The advantage of Telegram bots is that they guide the user through the settings step by step. Read the messages of the bot carefully, answer the questions and choose the right actions to set up the virtual assistant.
