To connect Telegram to SAAS First's Inbox, you have to add a Telegram Bot's ApiToken. You can create one at the Setup. (see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service


As for the setup, you have to search for "BotFather" in Telegram. Be sure to choose the verified one! 



Type in /start


The required setting for the Bot is /newbot

Then, name the bot.

Choose a username, but as it says, please be sure that it ends with "bot". 

If this step is done and successful, copy the token after "Use this token to access the HTTP API." and insert it into SAAS First's given field.
