Connect Telegram

Get the right token

Open BotFather. Create a bot with /newbot, or choose one you own. Open the bot's Serverless settings and enable the feature. Then open CLI Access → Access token.

The Serverless CLI token starts with app, such as app1234:secret. It is separate from the normal Bot API token. Do not paste it into AI chat, source files, screenshots, or support messages.

Verify the connection

In TeeAI, choose Connect Telegram, enter the bot's username and the Serverless CLI token, and submit. The platform makes a real read-only cloud request. A network failure is not treated as a verified connection.

Credentials are encrypted at rest and only supplied to the publisher for the selected bot. The username is supplied by you; check it matches the bot selected in BotFather.

If cloud code already exists, TeeAI requires a complete import before editing or publishing. A workspace cannot be rebound to a different Telegram app after connection; create another workspace instead.

Rotate a token

Generate a replacement in BotFather and reopen Connection in TeeAI. Wait for active tasks to finish first. Never revoke the old token while a publish is in progress.

See Telegram's official Serverless documentation for the current BotFather screens and platform availability.
