Connecting a Telegram bot - daily summary and content approvals from your phone
Create a bot with BotFather, enter the Bot Token and Chat ID on the Connections page, and get a daily 10:00 summary, content approvals and lead status.
The Telegram bot is the convenient way to work with Bambook from your phone: a daily summary at 10:00, one-tap content approvals, lead and campaign status, and quick commands such as /today, /pending and /leads.
Open the Telegram Bot card
In the marketing department go to Integrations and click the "Telegram Bot" card title to expand it (cards are collapsed by default).
Create a bot in Telegram
In the Telegram app search for @BotFather, send it /newbot, give your bot a name and receive the Bot Token. Keep it handy - you will need it in a moment.
Start a chat with the bot and find the Chat ID
Send any message to the bot you created (to open a conversation). Then open https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/getUpdates in your browser (replace {TOKEN} with your token) and copy the chat_id from the response.
Enter the details in Bambook
In "Step 2 - enter details" paste the Bot Token and the Chat ID and click Connect Telegram. You will see "Telegram connected successfully!".
Check that it works
After connecting, a Test button appears that sends a test message to your Telegram. Received it? Everything is connected. To disconnect use Disconnect.
