API key

Uses your own credential — Verslay stores it encrypted

Connectable today
  1. 1
    Sign in to Telegram
    Open https://telegram.org/ and sign in to the account you want to connect.
  2. 2
    Create the API key
    Generate a new API key from the API or developer settings in your Telegram dashboard.
  3. 3
    Copy it immediately
    Telegram usually shows the full API key only once, right after you create it. Store it somewhere safe before closing the page.
  4. 4
    Connect in Verslay
    In the Verslay Hub, open Connections, find Telegram, and paste the API key into the Bot Token field.
  5. 5
    Verify
    The connection flips to Connected. Run any read-only action once to confirm the credential has the right scopes.
  6. 6
    Rotate safely
    When you rotate later: connect the new credential first, confirm it works, then revoke the old one.

What you’ll paste into Verslay

Bot Token

Your bot's token, e.g. 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl. In Telegram, message @BotFather and send /newbot (or /token for existing bots). Connects a bot, not your personal account.
