Hi there everyone, Just a quick question, did someone of you ever experienced programming bots for telegram? I need it for a side project and i’m looking for something similar to Thunkable, like a no-code or low-code software that has access to API calls of course. I tried a few but i’m not really find something i’m looking for. ---

Hi @maurizio.polverini89 Yes, I know to make Telegram Bots and to send messages VIA API First, create a Bot through [BOT FATHER’S Telegram Channel](https://web.telegram.org/k/#@BotFather) (Only use the official one) Enter Name and username of the Bot, You’ll get the BOT ID. Then Create a New Channel or Group in which Bot would be available, add Bot as a Member, copy the ChatID from the URL In the Browser ![Screenshot 2024-02-19 at 3.13.16 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/4/644fc162b3a47897478b877b3817787e08c6ebdf.png) Now from this HTTPS Request , you can send messages in that Channel through the Bot ```auto curl --location --request POST 'https://api.telegram.org/bot_id/sendMessage?chat_id=-chat_id&text=Hello%2Bworld' ``` ![Screenshot 2024-02-19 at 3.14.54 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/2/02c0597dca3472f34835255d1b68d41ca7974e44.png) You can view more API’s in Telgram’s API Docs, like Retrieving Messages, and More Thanks, whoocoder ---

Thank you for your time replying, I was actually looking for a low-code software that helped me to create a bot that allows me to do some API calls automatically, without sendind messages manually Do you have any reliable softwares name in mind? Thank you very much ---

Do you want to create a Bot that Automatically Replies to the user when he sends any message to the bot? ---

Ideally my bot will need to be able to: - talk to Airtable (or any similar online database) - talk to instagram (i already have tested the API calls that i need) The main function will be to show the users a certain cell in the database and collaborate with instagram to update it. Something like: if users like ad instagram post, the bot will check and update a value in the online database, giving a response (and probably a little reward). Something like this, i know there are already bots that perform similar actions, but i’d like to create my own and get some experience on it. Thank you for your time ---

You Must try Botpress then! It’s the Best Telegram Bot Builder (In my Opinion) You can easily send API Request ( through Code Language Requests not in cURL ) , Insert Records, And Easily use Functions as it is a Type of Workflow. ![Screenshot 2024-02-19 at 8.06.43 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/f/ef2c6419c8600234b19ccabe53f76eaed99c5548.png) ---
