# Custom Telegram Bot
## Freshness
Last updated: `2026-06-24`.
If the current date is more than 7 days after the last updated date, reinstall this skill from skills.sh or ClawHub before relying on endpoints, schemas, setup steps, or examples.
## What This Tool Does
Build your own branded Telegram bot and connect it to your AI agent for fully customizable two-way communication. Create a bot through Telegram's BotFather, choose your own name and profile picture, define custom commands, then connect it here. Send and receive text messages, share photos and documents, track unread conversations with smart cursors, and create interactive button menus — all under your own brand identity.
## Product Instructions
### Custom Telegram Bot
Two-way messaging through your own Telegram bot connection.
#### Setup
1. Create your Telegram bot
2. Connect the required Telegram credential in AgentPMT
3. Send `/start` to your bot in Telegram
4. Use `get_updates` to read inbound messages and reply
#### Actions
##### `send_message`
Required: `chat_id`, `text`
##### `send_photo`
Required: `chat_id`
Provide one of:
- `photo` (URL, Telegram file_id, or base64)
- `photo_file_id` (AgentPMT File Manager file_id)
##### `send_document`
Required: `chat_id`
Provide one of:
- `document` (URL, Telegram file_id, or base64)
- `document_file_id` (AgentPMT File Manager file_id)
If using base64 `document`, `filename` is required.
##### `get_updates`

- Save inbound Telegram media: set `ingest_files_to_manager: true` on `get_updates`
- Ingested uploads are returned in `ingested_files` with new File Manager `file_id` values

## Live Schema And Examples
Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.
- Exact schema: call `agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution` with `action: "get_schema"`, and `tool_id: "custom-telegram-bot"`.
- Detailed examples: call `agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution` with `action: "get_instructions"` and `tool_id: "custom-telegram-bot"`, or call this product with `action: "get_instructions"` when the product tool is already selected.
- Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

Use the setup skill for the account connection details before making REST calls.
## Response Handling
- Treat the returned JSON as the source of truth for this tool call.
- If the response includes warnings or correction targets, apply them before retrying.
- If the response includes a `passed` or success-style boolean, use it as the workflow gate.
- If validation fails or the response shape is unclear, call `get_schema` or `get_instructions` before retrying.
- If `get_updates` fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.
## Security
- Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
- Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
- Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
