Kauthar on Telegram in three steps

For customers who prefer Telegram: create a bot in your business's name with @BotFather, paste its token into Kauthar, and she answers them from your information with buttons, product cards and booking — and your team replies from Conversations at any time, with no 24-hour window.

The problem and the solution

The problem

A channel your customers prefer, and nobody to answer it

A Telegram bot needs a developer, a server and maintenance, so you leave the channel closed or hand it to an employee who answers from their phone between tasks.

The solution with Kauthar

One token from BotFather, and Kauthar handles the rest

Kauthar sets the bot's /start command and a description in your business's name, and answers whoever messages it as on your site: fixed answers and AI from the knowledge base, buttons, product cards with a buy button, booking, and handoff to your team.

What you gain

What your business gets

  • Connected in 3 steps, no coding

    Open @BotFather, create the bot with /newbot, paste the token into the “Bot token” field and click “Connect”. The token is stored encrypted and only its last 4 characters are shown.

  • Everything Kauthar does

    Replies from your information, reply-path buttons, product cards, appointment booking, handoff to your team, and the conversations appear in Conversations with the “Telegram” badge.

  • Replies from your personal account

    With Telegram Premium, link the bot to your account from Telegram Business, and Kauthar replies in your name to people who message you directly, while you can still reply yourself from the app.

  • No 24-hour window

    Telegram imposes no reply window, so your team can reply to the customer from Conversations at any time, and a “Contact us on Telegram” button appears on the chat and booking pages.

Three steps

How it works

  1. 01

    In the “Telegram” card, click “Open @BotFather”, send /newbot and choose a name and a username ending in bot.

  2. 02

    Copy the token BotFather sends, paste it into “Bot token” and click “Connect”.

  3. 03

    Send a message to the bot to test it, and manage it from the card: test connection, pause, disconnect.

How your business uses it

  • Store

    Customers who prefer Telegram ask about products and get cards with a buy button, and whoever shares their number is saved in “Customers”.

  • Training centre

    The students' Telegram channel points questions to the bot, which answers from the courses file and books seats, and the trainer replies from Conversations whenever they like.

  • Service company

    The manager links the bot to their personal account through Telegram Business, so Kauthar replies in their name to customers who message them directly, and they step in when needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Kauthar rejected the token — what do I do?

Copy it again from @BotFather (/mybots → the bot → API Token) and paste it in full without spaces. If another service is reading the bot's messages, remove it and click “Test connection”.

Can I connect more than one bot?

One bot per business, and a bot connected to another Kauthar account can't be connected. You can change the token to use a different bot.

What happens when I disconnect the bot?

Only Kauthar's replies stop; the bot itself stays in your Telegram account.

What's needed to reply from my personal account?

A Telegram Premium subscription on your account, then in the Telegram app: Telegram Business → Chatbots → your bot's username → turn on “Reply to messages”.

Does the customer need a Telegram account?

Yes, they message the bot from the Telegram app. If the customer blocks the bot, messages won't reach them until they message it again.
