Telegram Web App Bot Template

Introduction to the Telegram Web App Bot Template

This template helps you create a Telegram bot that provides users with steps to build a Telegram web app using Lazy AI. The bot responds with a detailed guide when users interact with it.

Clicking Start with this Template

To get started with the template, click "Start with this Template".

Test

Press the "Test" button to begin the deployment of the app. The Lazy CLI will handle the deployment process.

Using the App

Once the app is deployed, your bot will be online and ready to interact with users. The bot will respond with a detailed guide on how to build a Telegram web app using Lazy AI when users send the `/start` command.

Integrating the App

To link your web app to your bot, follow these steps:

• Open the Telegram app and search for @BotFather or go to https://t.me/botfather.
• Start a chat with BotFather and send the command `/mybots`.
• Select the bot you want to link to your website.
• Click on the "Bot Settings" option.
• Click on "Menu Button".
• Click on "Configure menu button".
• BotFather will ask for a URL - send the URL of your Lazy website.
