### Creating a new Bot
|
|
|
|
1. Message @botfather https://telegram.me/botfather with the following
|
|
text: `/newbot`
|
|
If you don't know how to message by username, click the search
|
|
field on your Telegram app and type `@botfather`, you should be able
|
|
to initiate a conversation. Be careful not to send it to the wrong
|
|
contact, because there are users with a similar username.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. @botfather replies with `Alright, a new bot. How are we going to
|
|
call it? Please choose a name for your bot.`
|
|
|
|
3. Type whatever name you want for your bot.
|
|
|
|
4. @botfather replies with `Good. Now let's choose a username for your
|
|
bot. It must end in bot. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or
|
|
tetris_bot.`
|
|
|
|
5. Type whatever username you want for your bot, minimum 5 characters,
|
|
and must end with `bot`. For example: `telesample_bot`
|
|
|
|
6. @botfather replies with:
|
|
|
|
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at
|
|
telegram.me/telesample_bot. You can now add a description, about
|

section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of
