Telegram bots have become so popular over the years that now every cart public has its own program. And they are still developing. Here you will find out why you need tg bots at all, how to create them and what functions can be added.

What is a Telegram bot?​

The program in the cart is popular with most telegram users. With it, you can ease your work routine, it can work as a chatbot or Chat GPT, automatically sell any product, or even be a crypto bot.

Why do I need a Telegram bot?​

They have become popular in TG due to their simplicity and versatility. It's mostly a time saver. They are able to automatically answer frequently asked questions or perform repetitive tasks. They also work around the clock. It's also convenient because you can use it to organize subscriptions, collect data, vote, or remind people of important events.

How do I create a Tg bot?​

Creating your own bot is an interesting and accessible process. Follow these steps to develop it:

1. Creating a bot through BotFather.​

   BotFather is the official cart program for creating and configuring it. Just find it in tg, send a command to /newbot, come up with a name and get an API token.

2. Getting an API token.​

   An API token is a unique key that allows your program to interact with Telegram. Keep it safe to avoid unauthorized access.

3. Writing code for a bot.​

   To create the logic of the program, you can use any programming language, for example, Python. The python-telegram-bot framework is considered popular and convenient for this task.
   An example of simple Python code:
   

   from telegram import Update
   from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, CallbackContext
    
    def start(update: Update, context: CallbackContext):
         update.message.reply_text("Hello! I'm your Telegram bot.")
         
    updater = Updater("YOUR_TOKEN")
    updater.dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
    updater.start_polling()
    updater.idle()

4. Placement and launch.​

   The written code can be run locally or hosted on cloud platforms such as Heroku, AWS or Google Cloud so that it always stays online.

What features can be added?​

Your program can be configured to perform a variety of tasks. Here are some ideas:

• Reminders, notifications.
• Receiving and processing orders.
• Search for information (for example, weather forecast or news).
• Integration with other services (for example, CRM systems).
