Minusbot can act as a Telegram Bot, allowing you to interact with your agent on the go.
- A Telegram account.
- A Telegram Bot Token (obtained from @BotFather).
- Obtain Token: Talk to BotFather, create a new bot, and get the HTTP API Token.
- Configure Minusbot:
Use the
/envcommand (or the Web Dashboard) to save your token./env set channel-telegram TOKEN <your-token>
Once the bot is started, it needs to know which Telegram user corresponds to which Minusbot user.
- Start a chat with your bot.
- Send
/start. - The bot should greet you if everything is configured correctly.
- If the bot is restricted to specific users, you might need to add your Telegram ID to the whitelist or configure
user_idmapping.
Currently, the Telegram channel maps users automatically if allow_new_users is enabled, or requires manual user_id mapping in the user's settings.
