I'm missing a step in Telegram

Hi! I’m missing a step with my first ManyChat automation in a Telegram channel (with a chat/discussion) that I run.

  1. I have connected ManyChat and Telegram.
  2. I’ve created the automation in ManyChat.
  3. I’ve created a specific ManyChat/Telegram bot using BotFather.

Now … I’m not sure what to do next. The instructions end with creating the bot.

Do I add the new bot as an admin to my Telegram channel? And … then what? 

I can’t seem to find the next steps, so I appreciate your help. Thanks very much.

@MSchiller the Telegram channel works with conversations with individuals (not with channels or groups).

So the next step would be to start a conversation with your Telegram bot, using your personal Telegram account. And you'll see the subscriber in Manychat.

From there you can start creating your automations, triggers, etc.
