1. Creating a Telegram Bot for Image Generation

To start building a Telegram bot that generates AI images, you first need to create a bot in Telegram. This process involves using the BotFather, a special bot that helps you create other bots. Start by searching for ‘BotFather’ in your Telegram app and click on the start button.

After initiating the BotFather, enter the command /newbot to create a new bot. You will be prompted to provide a name for your bot; for example, you can name it ‘AI Image Gen’. Following this, you need to provide a unique username, such as ‘AIImageGen121_bot’. Once created, you will receive an API token that you will use to connect your bot to Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

Now that you have your Telegram bot ready, the next step is to set up Pabbly Connect to automate the image generation process. Sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t already. After logging in, navigate to your dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Give your workflow a name, such as ‘Telegram AI Image Gen Bot’, and choose the appropriate folder in your Pabbly Connect account to save it. Click on ‘Create’ to proceed. You will see two windows: a trigger window and an action window. The trigger window will capture messages sent to your Telegram bot, while the action window will process those messages to generate images.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Telegram AI Image Gen Bot’).
• Select a folder to save your workflow.

After creating your workflow, you will need to connect your Telegram bot with Pabbly Connect to capture incoming messages. This is done by selecting the Telegram Bot app in the trigger step and choosing the trigger event as ‘Set Webhook’. You will then need to enter the API token you received earlier.

3. Generating AI Images with OpenAI

With your Telegram bot connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to generate images using OpenAI. In the action window, select the OpenAI app and choose the action event as ‘Generate Image’. You will need to connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key, which can be found in your OpenAI account settings.

Once connected, you will set up the parameters for image generation. Choose the model (e.g., DALL-E 3) and map the prompt from the Telegram trigger step to the OpenAI action step. This mapping allows the message sent to your Telegram bot to be used as the prompt for generating images.

• Select OpenAI and the action event ‘Generate Image’.
• Enter your OpenAI API key.
• Map the prompt from the Telegram message.

After configuring these settings, you can click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the image generation works correctly. You should receive a response containing the generated image URL.

4. Sending Generated Images Back to Telegram

Once the image is generated, the next step is to send it back to the Telegram chat. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select the Telegram Bot app again. This time, choose the action event ‘Send Photo’. Since you have already connected your Telegram bot, you can select the existing connection.

In this step, you will need to provide the chat ID from the trigger response and the image URL from the OpenAI response. Additionally, you can include a caption for the image, which can be the revised prompt received from OpenAI. Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test if the image is successfully sent back to Telegram.

Select the action event ‘Send Photo’. Map the chat ID and image URL. Add a caption using the revised prompt.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the image appear in your Telegram chat as a reply to the original prompt. This confirms that your automation is functioning as intended, allowing users to generate AI images through your Telegram bot.

5. Testing and Using Your Telegram Bot

After setting up your Telegram bot and the automation in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the entire process. Send a message to your Telegram bot with a prompt, such as ‘Kids playing football on a ground surrounded by mountains covered with snow’. The bot should respond with the generated image based on your prompt.

For further testing, you can send different prompts to see how the bot responds. The integration with OpenAI via Pabbly Connect allows you to explore various image generation capabilities. If you want to improve or adjust the bot’s responses, you can modify the settings in Pabbly Connect accordingly.

By following these steps, you will have successfully created a Telegram bot that generates AI images using Pabbly Connect and OpenAI. This integration showcases the flexibility and power of automation tools in enhancing user experiences.
