# How to connect Tiledesk with Telegram

> **Note**: the **Telegram** integrations is available on the Tiledesk cloud version only.

First Login in **Tiledesk** Dashboard, then click “**Apps**” in the left menu and click **Install** on the Telegram icon.

### ***Step 1. Create a Bot*** <a href="#step-1-create-a-bot" id="step-1-create-a-bot"></a>

**Creating a new bot**

You can create a new bot using Bot Father.

Just talk with [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather) (<https://telegram.me/botfather>) or search for **@BotFather** in the Telegram app.

If you have already created a bot, then copy your telegram token and skip to Step 2. If you have lost the token, then use the **/token** command and select you bot to retrieve it.

Otherwise use the **/newbot** command to create a new bot. The BotFather will ask you for a name and username, then an authorization token is generated for you.

The name of your bot is displayed in the contact details and elsewhere.&#x20;

The Username is a short name, to be used in mentions and telegram.me links. Usernames are 5-32 characters long and are case insensitive, but may only include Latin characters, number and underscores. Your bot’s username must end in ‘bot’, e.g. ‘**tetris\_bot**‘ or ‘**TetrisBot**‘.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.tiledesk.com/other-integrations/how-to-connect-tiledesk-with-telegram.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
