🤖 How to Create a Telegram Bot and Get Your TELEGRAM_TOKEN

2. Create a New Bot
Type the command:
/newbot
BotFather will ask you to give your bot a name and a username. The name is what users see; the username must end in bot, e.g. weather_helper_bot.
You’ll receive a response like:
3. Copy Your Token
BotFather will respond with something like:
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at telegram.me/your_bot.
Use this token to access the HTTP API:
123456789:ABCDEF_your_real_token_here
🔐 Copy the token — this is your TELEGRAM_TOKEN.
✅ Add Your Token to Greentic
Once you have your token, run:
greentic secrets add TELEGRAM_TOKEN 123456789:ABCDEF_your_real_token_here
Replace the example with your actual token.
