How to Connect N8N to Telegram in 2 Minutes! (FULL 2025 Step-by-Step Guide)

I'm going to show you exactly how to connect NAND to Telegram in under two minutes. Let's get started. So, if you're inside of NADN here, there are a couple different ways to do this. You could come up to the arrow and click create credential. You can come up to the plus over here and go to credential, create a new one. Or what's more than likely is that you're actually going to be inside of a workflow already and trying to create your connection from here. So, the first thing we want to do is we're just going to add the Telegram trigger to NAD. And what we're going to do is we're going to click on message. And then from here, in order to create a new connection, just come into the drop-own menu and go to the plus create new credential. From here, all we need is this access token. And we're going to get this from Telegram. So inside of Telegram, what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to come up to the chat and search for botfather. This is this bot right here, the bot father. And all you're going to have to do is type in slash. And basically, it'll give you the list of all the commands. And you can click newbot. We can come up with a name for the bot. YouTube tg demo. YouTube Telegram demo. Go ahead and click okay. And now it asks us to create a username for your bot that must end in bot. So we can call it YouTube tgde demo_bot. And go ahead and click okay for this. And now it says congratulations on your new bot. You'll find it here. And then down here it gives you the access key or the API that you need to copy. So we're just going to go ahead. We're going to copy this API. Come over into NADN. And we can go ahead and we can also name this up here.
