Once you've created your bot with BotFather, the next step is to connect it to BotLaunch. This secure connection allows BotLaunch to manage your bot, handle messages, and provide all the powerful features in our module library.
How It Works
When you connect your bot to BotLaunch, we set up a secure webhook connection to receive updates from Telegram. This means:
- All messages to your bot are routed through BotLaunch
- Your modules process and respond to messages automatically
- Analytics and logs are captured for monitoring
- Your bot token remains encrypted and secure
Connection Steps
Sign in to BotLaunch
Go to panel.botlaunch.io and sign in to your account
Navigate to Bots
Click on "Bots" in the sidebar to view your bot list
Add New Bot
Click "Add Bot" button in the top right corner
Enter Bot Token
Paste your bot token from BotFather into the token field
Verify Connection
BotLaunch will verify your token and display bot details
Verifying the Connection
After entering your bot token, BotLaunch will automatically:
- Validate your token with Telegram's API
- Fetch your bot's username and details
- Set up the webhook for receiving updates
- Enable default modules for your bot
Troubleshooting
Invalid token error
Double-check that you copied the entire token from BotFather, including the numbers before the colon.
Bot not responding
Make sure no other services are using this bot token. Only one service can receive updates at a time.
Connection timeout
Check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, contact support.
Need to Reconnect?
If you've regenerated your bot token in BotFather, you'll need to update it in BotLaunch. Go to Bot Settings and click "Update Token" to re-establish the connection.
