1. Create bot

Open Telegram and search for @BotFather user and message them the following:

BotFather
Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.

You
TypeYourBotName

BotFather
Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.

You
TypeYourBotNameBot

BotFather
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/shelley_monitor_bot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.

Keep your token secure and store it safely, it can be used by anyone to control your bot.
