Set up Brea on Telegram

1. Go to app.brea.ai and open Messaging.
2. On the Telegram card, click Connect, then Start Connection.
3. Click Open Telegram. The link opens Brea’s setup bot in Telegram.
4. Tap Create Telegram Bot and follow Telegram’s prompts. This creates a private bot that only you can message.
5. The new bot sends you a message when it starts connecting. Wait about a minute, then send it a message.

The dashboard shows the Telegram card as Connected with your bot’s username. Message that bot whenever you want to reach Brea.

If you’re setting up on a computer

Telegram is usually on your phone, so at step 3 you can have Brea text you the link instead of opening it on your computer:

1. Click Text Link to Me.
2. Enter your phone number.
3. Tick the box agreeing to receive the text, then click Yes, text me the link.
4. Open the link from the text on your phone, then carry on from step 4 above.

You get one text per request. Standard message rates apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out.

This option only shows on computers. On a phone or tablet, use Open Telegram.

Use a bot you already have

If you already created a bot with BotFather:

1. In the connect dialog, click I already have a bot token.
2. On the Verify your Telegram identity screen, click Verify in Telegram. This opens Brea’s setup bot and confirms which Telegram account is allowed to message your bot.
3. Come back to the dashboard. It waits for the verification, then shows the token field on its own.
4. Paste the token from BotFather into the Bot token field and click Connect.

Disconnect Telegram

On the Telegram card, click More, then Disconnect. You can reconnect later.
