Telegram: your questions

Your bot, and when it can speak first.

Does it work with Telegram?

Yes, through your own bot. Make one free in @BotFather — or use the one you have — and paste its token. It answers chats with your rules and the AI, replies under your channel posts, and sends broadcasts. It works on every plan.

Can my Telegram bot message people first?

Yes, anyone who has pressed Start. Telegram has no 24-hour window, which is what broadcasts are for: one message to everyone who started your bot, or only to one label. Anyone who blocks the bot is skipped.
