Telegram bots are managed separately from Telegram user accounts and use Telegram’s official Bot API.

Connect a bot

  1. Create or manage the bot through Telegram’s official BotFather workflow.
  2. Open Bots → Accounts and select Add bot.
  3. Paste the bot token, validate it, then name the local connection.
  4. Review the bot identity and save.
  5. Enable the bot worker when you are ready.

Token security

Bot tokens are stored in the operating-system credential vault, not plain SQLite. Revoke a token through Telegram if it is exposed.

Availability

Bot long polling runs locally. The app, computer, internet connection, and Telegram availability are required.
