AI agent for Telegram: connect it to your catalog in minutes
You can turn a Telegram bot into an AI sales assistant that answers prices, stock and business policies from your catalog — with no coding and in just a few minutes. Create the bot for free with @BotFather, paste its token into your Vendilo dashboard, upload your Excel, and your team can check everything from their phone.
Telegram is the ideal channel for internal team use: it’s free, fast, works on any phone, and you control who has access. Unlike a chatbot with canned replies, the AI agent understands how your rep asks (even with abbreviations) and answers with real data from your catalog.
How to connect Telegram to your catalog (step by step)
Create your bot in Telegram
Open @BotFather in Telegram, type /newbot and follow the prompts. It gives you a token (a long key). Takes 1 minute and it’s free.
Paste the token in your dashboard
In Vendilo, go to the Telegram section and paste the token. That connects your bot to your account.
Upload your catalog
Upload your Excel with products, prices and inventory. The AI processes it and can answer from the very first message.
Invite your team
Your reps message the bot and request access; you approve them from the dashboard. Done: they check prices and stock from their phone.
