Bot & Telegram Setup September 07, 2026

How do I get a Telegram bot token from @BotFather and connect it?

Where do I get the Telegram bot token required to connect my bot to TeleGo, and what information do I need to enter?

Best answer

Every Telegram bot is registered through Telegram's official management bot, @BotFather. Here is how to obtain your token:

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather (look for the verified blue checkmark).
  2. Press Start or send /start.
  3. Send the /newbot command.
  4. Enter a Display Name for your bot (e.g., Acme Support).
  5. Enter a Username for your bot. It must be unique and end in bot (e.g., acme_support_bot).
  6. BotFather will reply with a congratulatory message containing your HTTP API Token formatted like: 1234567890:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRsTUVwxyZ
  7. Copy this entire string.
  8. In TeleGo, navigate to Bot Settings → Telegram, paste the token into the Bot Token field, and click Save.

Security Note: Never share your bot token publicly or in group chats. Anyone with this token has full control over your Telegram bot.
