How to create and connect Telegram chat-bot?

1. If you don't have a Telegram account yet, create it on web.telegram.org/#/login
2. Run Telegram app and search @BotFather in the search bar. Choose the bot with the same avatar as on the screenshot. Click START button at the bottom of the window
   
   
   
3. The bot sends us a list of commands that can be used while working with him. We need to create a bot so let's send him a /newbot text:
   
   
   
4. Then bot is asking to provide a name of a new bot. Send him the name in the message:
   
   
   
5. Now BotFather is asking to provide a username for your bot. The username should ends with bot. Send the username of your bot:
   
   
   
6. BotFather sends us a token. Copy it.
   
   
   
   
7. Go to Settings → Channels & Businesses on the Leeloo.ai platform:

9. Click Connect button.

   If you encountered an error "This token is invalid, please insert another token" when connecting a bot, check:

   1) No spaces is placed before and after the token.
   2) Is any special symbol is added to the token which is invisible and provoke a conflict. You can check it using Developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+I in Chrome Browser) and pasting the token into the console line. If beyond symbols of the token you can see a red point - the special symbol is added. Delete it.
