Creating a bot¶
It's time to create your first bot! Follow these simple steps (repeat them for each bot you want to create):
1️⃣ Create the bot in BotFather¶
- Open @BotFather and send
/newbot
. - Enter a name for your bot (it can be anything).
- Enter a unique username for your bot (it must end in
bot
, e.g.,MyBot_bot
). - Copy the generated token (click on it to copy it).
2️⃣ Set up the bot in VisualMaker¶
- Go to @VisualMakerBot and navigate to:
🖥 Bots → ➕ New bot
- Paste the token you copied in the previous step.
- Your bot will be ready in a second.
- Click on the
🤖 Start bot 🤖
button to launch it and start building it.
Important information
- The bot's token looks like this:
123456789:AAEs3Ta3rebIzkOuG_pi3Pq9nhou1Fi2e8A
. - Do not modify the token or share it with anyone!
- If you lose the token or it gets compromised, revoke it in @BotFather and update it in VisualMaker:
📜 My bots → @your_bot → 🔐 Update token

Your bot is now created and ready to be customized. It's time to build its menus and commands. We'll explain everything in the next article.
