TABLE OF CONTENTS
Step 1: Create a simple Telegram Bot
- Creating a bot is not complex but requires a procedure if you are a beginner. You can find a lot of tutorials over Internet, and you will find official documentation here (Telegram bots). In our case, the simplest Bot is what we need, follow the steps below.
- Open Telegram messenger (in this case Windows version), and type @Botfather in the search bar to call the Telegram magician assistant, then select it in the results:
- Now click on 'START' under the information 'What can this bot do?
- Type: /newbot
- You receive an answer from the Botfather assistant which asks you for the name of the bot, then a username for this bot, in my example i used: aemtest2022
- Please copy the token which is displayed, keep it in safe place it will be used in Automatic Email Manager at step 2.
- Congratulation your first bot is created, easy, no?
Step 2: Invite your bot to your channel
- Now you have to invite your bot to the channel(s) you want to receive the Automatic Email Manager messages. Create a new channel or use an existing one and invite your bot (only the creator of the channel can add a bot) like any other participants:
- Click on header of the channel to display channel info
- Now click on +button to invite, enter the name of your bot in the search, then select the bot name.
- Good, now your Bot is a member of the channel you selected.
- Click on header of the channel to display channel info
- Get the real Channel ID:
- Last procedure to communicate with the bot, we need the Telegram channel Id which can be found like this:
- Open the channel in Telegram, right click on a message in the discussion, and select 'Copy link', paste it in Notepad, it will look like:
The channel id is the number after the https://t.me/c/: 1579708123
Append -100 to this number and you get the final Channel Id: -1001579708123
Sorry it is not as simple as it should be, but it is a Telegram procedure...
