How to Create a Telegram Bot via BotFather?

This article is for you if:
– You want to order a Telegram bot
– Someone told you "create a bot in BotFather and give the token"
– And you don’t know where to start

What is BotFather?

BotFather is the official Telegram bot by Telegram company. All other bots are created through it. It issues a unique access token that allows a developer to build a bot with any logic you want — from simple replies to online stores or appointment systems.

How to create a bot — instructions

Open BotFather
👉 Click here or search for @BotFather in Telegram
Type /start
BotFather will show a list of commands
Type /newbot
You will be asked to enter:
— Bot name (can be anything, e.g. “My Clinic Dentistry”)
— Username (must end with "bot", e.g. myclinic_bot)
You will get a token
BotFather will send you a long string — this is your token. Example:
123456789:ABCDefGhIjKLMNOPQrStUvwxYz123456789
Copy the token and send it to the developer
Or simply forward the message
Without it, the programmer will not be able to connect to the bot.

(Optional but recommended) Customize your bot

Make your bot more user-friendly:

/setuserpic — set an avatar
/setdescription — short bot description
/setabouttext — text shown before start
/setcommands — list of available commands

You don't have to type these commands into the input field — the bot has convenient navigation buttons that allow you to easily customize your bot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the bot myself after creation?
Yes! You can already open it by link like: https://t.me/myclinic_bot

What happens if the token gets into the wrong hands?
An attacker can control your bot. But you can change the token in BotFather via /revoke

The bot doesn’t respond after creation — why?
This is normal. Until the developer sets up the logic, the bot is "empty"

What should I give to the developer?

Bot token (mandatory)
Project/company name (for menu/description)
Desired features (e.g. “appointment booking”, “show services”)
Photo/logo (if you want it to look nice)

Done! Now the developer can connect databases, interface, web app, or even payment systems 💸
