Step 1: Add a New Integration

Click the + Add Integration button
Choose Telegram

Step 2: Authorize Replyco — Telegram Synchronization

From the popup window, click the Authorize button to proceed and allow Replyco to receive your Telegram messages.

Click the Copy button to the right of “/newbot” and then click the blue hyperlink to open up Telegram’s website.

Click the Copy button

From here, a popup message will appear prompting you to Open Telegram. Follow this link to be redirected to your Telegram messenger app, but keep your Replyco window open — we’ll be going back here later to finish the setup.

Step 4: Start a Chat with the Telegram Bot

You will now see a new chat with “BotFather” (the official Telegram bot setup account) appear in your Telegram app. Click Start to initiate a chat with the BotFather account and paste “/newbot” (copied in Step 3), or simply type “/newbot” and hit enter.

Step 6: Enter Your API Token

Simply paste the code copied in the previous step into the HTTP API text entry field and then hit Authorize.
