Creating a Telegram bot is fast and easy. You don’t need to write any code β just follow these steps inside the Telegram app:
π€ Step 1: Open @BotFather
- Search for @BotFather in Telegram and open the chat.
- This is the official bot management tool provided by Telegram.
π Step 2: Create a new bot
-
- Type the command:
/newbot
- BotFather will ask you for:
- A name (this is what users will see).
- A username (must end with
bot
, e.g.,myshop_bot
).
π Step 3: Copy your bot token
-
- After you finish, BotFather will give you a message like this:
π€ Congratulations! Your new bot is ready…
Use this token to create your shop with Botoscope:
123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11
- This token is your bot key β save it, youβll need it to connect your bot to Botoscope.
β Done!
Now your bot exists and can be connected to Botoscope (or any other bot platform).

π‘ Tips:
- You can customize your bot later (photo, description, commands) by using other commands in @BotFather like
/setdescription
,/setcommands
, etc. - Your bot won’t work until itβs connected to a backend (like Botoscope).
