Connecting apps

Connect Telegram

Create a Telegram bot with BotFather and paste its token into Tyrbo to send messages and react to chats.

Telegram connections use a bot token issued by Telegram's own BotFather.

Create the bot and get the token

  1. Open a conversation with @BotFather in Telegram.
  2. Send /newbot.
  3. Choose a display name for your bot.
  4. Choose a username for it (must end in bot).
  5. BotFather replies with the token (123456:ABC-…) — copy it.

Paste it into Tyrbo

Choose a Telegram action (Send Text Message, Send Media) or the New Update trigger, click New connection, and paste the token into the Bot Token field.

Notes

  • Bots can only message chats they're part of: message your bot once (or add it to the group/channel) before expecting sends to work.
  • The chat_id a send action needs comes from the New Update trigger's output, or from tools like @userinfobot. For channels, use the @channelname handle and make the bot an admin.
