  5. Copy the API Token that BotFather gives you

2. Connect to Flaxu

  1. Go to Flaxu Dashboard
  2. Click "Add Integration" → "Telegram"
  3. Paste your Bot Token
  4. Click "Connect"

3. Start Chatting!

Bot Settings (Optional)

You can customize your bot via BotFather:

/setdescription - Set bot description
/setabouttext - Set about text
/setuserpic - Set profile picture

Troubleshooting

Bot not responding?

  • Check if the token is correct
  • Make sure the bot is connected in Flaxu dashboard
  • Try /start command

Messages are slow?

  • This is normal for first message (cold start)
  • Subsequent messages should be faster

💡 Pro Tip

Enable "Inline Mode" in BotFather (/setinline) to use your bot in any chat with @mention.
