1. Creating a Telegram Bot Using Pabbly Connect

To create a ChatGPT bot for Telegram, we first need to set up a bot using Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Telegram account and searching for ‘BotFather’. This official bot will guide you in creating your new bot.

Once you initiate a chat with BotFather, type /newbot to create a new bot. You will need to provide a name and a unique username for your bot, ending with _bot. After successfully creating the bot, you will receive an API token, which is essential for integrating with Pabbly Connect.

2. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

Next, we will access Pabbly Connect to set up the integration. Open your browser and go to Pabbly.com/connect. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free. Once logged in, click on the Access Now button under Pabbly Connect.

In the dashboard, click on the Create Workflow button. Name your workflow, for example, Telegram AI Bot, and click Create. This will open a new automation workflow where you can set up triggers and actions.

3. Setting Up the Telegram Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now, we will configure the trigger for our Telegram bot within Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for Telegram Bot and select it. Choose the trigger event as New Message or Watch Updates. Click on Connect and then Add New Connection, where you will paste the API token you received earlier.

• Search for ‘Telegram Bot’ in the app list.
• Select the trigger event as ‘Watch Updates’.
• Connect using the API token from BotFather.

After saving the connection, click on Save and Send Test Request. This will allow Pabbly Connect to start receiving messages sent to your Telegram bot. You can now send a test message to your bot to see if the integration works correctly.

4. Integrating ChatGPT with Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect ChatGPT to our workflow using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for ChatGPT and select it. Choose the action event Ask ChatGPT and click Connect. You will need to enter your OpenAI API key, which you can obtain from your OpenAI account.

Once connected, you will specify the model you want to use, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo. Next, map the prompt with the message received from your Telegram bot. Simply click on the field and select the text message from the dropdown that appears. This mapping ensures that the message sent to the bot is processed by ChatGPT.

5. Sending ChatGPT Response Back to Telegram

The final step is to send the response generated by ChatGPT back to your Telegram bot using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in the workflow, search for Telegram Bot, and select Send Message as the action event. Use the existing connection you created earlier.

In the fields provided, map the chat ID and the response content from ChatGPT to ensure the message is sent back to the correct chat. You can also customize the message by adding a prefix, such as ChatGPT says:, before the actual response. Once everything is set up, click Save and Send Test Request to test the complete automation.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully created a ChatGPT bot for Telegram using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can integrate your Telegram bot with ChatGPT to automate responses to user messages. This setup empowers you with AI capabilities directly in your Telegram chat, making it easy to access information on the go.
