How do I create a bot and link it to my channels?

There’s a bot… to create a new bot.
Just talk to BotFather (as described below) and follow a few simple steps.

1. in your Telegram client window search for @BotFather
2. next you type the following commands:

You:
/newbot

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

You:
myTestBot

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:
myUserBot

BotFather:
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. 
You will find it at t.me/mytestbot. 
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.

Use this token to access the HTTP API:
277260464:AAGPNnx_87k1ctokVMffprgzvPgVvrXRAqQ

For a description of the Bot API, see this page: 
https://core.telegram.org/bots/api

Parameters of your just created BOT are:

• name: myTestBot
• username: @myUserBot
• token: 277260464:AAGPNnx_87k1ctokVMffprgzvPgVvrXRAqQ
• URL: https://t.me/mytestbot

Warning! The data shown are just an example… They are therefore not working!

Now, if not already exist, let’s create on the smartphone channels (or chats) which we want to send notifications to:
e.g. @channel_name1, @channel_name2, …

Then on the smartphone add to every channel the BOT username (@myUserBot) as administrator.

Finally insert BOT token and channels list in the plugin settings page and “Voilà, les jeux sont faits!!”

That’s all folks!
