Most people overcomplicate setting up a Telegram bot.

It’s actually simple.

Start with BotFather in Telegram — make sure it’s the verified account.

Create a new bot, choose a name, and assign a username (don’t forget “bot” at the end).

You’ll get an access token.

Drop that token into n8n, set a trigger for “on message,” and save.

If the test connection succeeds, you’re live.

From there, even clicking the bot link sends a start conversation message you can capture.

No code. No friction. Just a working Telegram bot in minutes.
