  • Start a chat with BotFather.
  • Select the ‘New Bot’ option.
  • Name your bot and set a username.

After creating the bot, you will receive a token. This token is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to connect to your Telegram bot, enabling it to capture messages from your group.


3. Connecting Telegram to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have created your bot, go back to Pabbly Connect and set up a connection. In the connection settings, paste the token you received from BotFather. This establishes a link between your Telegram bot and Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you can set up webhook updates to capture messages sent in your Telegram group. This allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your bot for incoming messages.


4. Filtering Messages for Responses

To ensure that your bot only responds to relevant messages, you will set up a filter in Pabbly Connect. This filter will check if the incoming message matches specific criteria before proceeding to generate a response.

  • Set a condition for the filter to check the message content.
  • If the condition is met, the workflow continues.

This filtering process is essential for maintaining the quality of responses generated by your bot using Pabbly Connect.


5. Generating Responses Using OpenAI

Once a message passes the filter, you can connect to OpenAI to generate a response. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as your next action step. You will need to enter your OpenAI API key to establish the connection.

After connecting, you can set up the prompt for the AI model, mapping the incoming message data to generate relevant responses. This integration allows Pabbly Connect to leverage AI capabilities to provide detailed answers to user queries.
