# Telegram

## General information

The integration allows to connect Telegram-bots (not personal accounts). Telegram-bots are not chat-bots, it's a specific name of  Telegram channels, which let you set up a communication channel of the user with a business.

The instruction was crafted based on the fact, that the Telegram-bot had already been created and you need to connect it to Blinger.io. If you haven't created a Telegram-bot, then we propose the following instruction: [**How to create a Telegram-bot?**](https://help.blinger.io/faq/messaging-channels/telegram)
