# Telegram

Connect Telegram for bidirectional bot conversations.

## Connect Telegram

Have the token for the Telegram bot your team owns.

## Set up the connection

1. Select the agent, open Integrations, and choose Telegram.
2. Enter the integration name and Bot token in the Telegram connection form, then connect.
3. Confirm the integration shows Connected.
4. Open Channels and manage this channel to configure its visibility, instructions, and compatible actions.
5. Send a message from an account you control and verify the reply in both the channel and QwryAI Inbox.

## Troubleshooting

If authorization does not finish, check the selected provider account and its access to the intended resource. A Connected integration is not the same as an enabled channel. Confirm the channel configuration and its action compatibility before investigating the agent instructions.
