Get Your Telegram Bot Token

A bot token is a secret key that lets RunMyBot talk to your Telegram bot. Keep it private.

Step‑by‑Step (via @BotFather)

Open Telegram and search @BotFather.
Tap Start and send /newbot.
Choose a name (display name). Example: RunMyBot Demo.
Choose a username ending with _bot. Example: runmybot_demo_bot.
BotFather replies with your HTTP API token, like 123456:ABC-xyz.
Copy the token, go to your dashboard → Create New Bot, paste token & bot name.

Useful BotFather Commands

/setdescription – Set your bot profile description.
/setuserpic – Upload a profile photo.
/setcommands – Publish a command list for users.
/revoke – Revoke and regenerate your token if leaked.

Security Tips

Never share your token in screenshots, repos, or groups.
If you pasted it in a public place, use /revoke at BotFather.
On RunMyBot, tokens are stored securely; you can delete a bot anytime.

Next Steps

Return to dashboard → Create New Bot.
Open Commands → paste one of the Platform‑Safe Snippets (e.g., /start).
Click Start on the bot card and test in Telegram.
