remii Telegram Bot Integration Guide

While desktop dashboards and web interfaces are great for deep work, modern operations require on-the-go accessibility. Telegram is an incredibly fast, secure, and developer-friendly messaging platform that serves as an excellent mobile interface for your AI assistant.

By pairing remii with a custom Telegram bot, you can trigger complex background workflows, query your database, and receive real-time execution notifications directly from your smartphone, no matter where you are.

### Why Telegram?

Unlike SMS or basic email, Telegram supports rich interactive elements like inline keyboards, markdown formatting, and fast bidirectional webhooks. This makes it an ideal medium for a conversational UI. You can ask your agent a question, receive a formatted report with data tables, and click an inline "Approve" button to authorize a transaction.

### Step-by-Step Integration Setup

Integrating remii with Telegram does not require any custom code. We handle the webhook infrastructure automatically.

#### 1. Create a Bot via BotFather 1. Open the Telegram app and search for the official **@BotFather** account. 2. Send the command `/newbot` and follow the prompts to choose a name and a unique username (must end in 'bot', e.g., `AcmeOps_Bot`). 3. BotFather will provide an HTTP API Token (a long string of characters). **Keep this secure.**

#### 2. Connect the Token to remii 1. Log into your remii dashboard and navigate to the **Integrations** panel. 2. Select **Telegram** and paste the HTTP API Token into the configuration field. 3. remii will automatically register a secure webhook with Telegram's servers. Any message sent to your bot will now be routed directly to your agent's reasoning engine.

#### 3. Authentication and Security Because your Telegram bot is accessible to anyone on the internet, you must secure it. You do not want random users triggering your internal database queries. - When you first message your new bot, it will ask for an authentication PIN. - You can generate this temporary PIN from your remii dashboard. - Once authenticated, remii maps your Telegram Chat ID to your secure User ID, ensuring the bot only responds to authorized team members.

### Mobile-First Workflows

Once connected, your Telegram bot becomes a powerful command center:

- **Server Monitoring**: *"Hey remii, are there any 500 errors in the staging logs today?"* The agent queries your log provider and replies in seconds. - **CRM Updates**: *"Add John Smith from Acme Corp to the CRM and schedule a follow-up for next Tuesday."* - **Approval Gates**: If a background cron job finishes drafting a newsletter, the agent can send the draft to your Telegram chat. You can review it on your phone and tap the "Send Now" inline button to execute the final step.

By integrating with Telegram, you untether your AI automation from the desktop, bringing enterprise-grade operational control directly to your pocket.
