Open Telegram, enter BotFather in the Search field. This is the name of the built-in chatbot constructor. Click Start.
The dialogue with the bot is conducted in English, but this should not cause any problems, since all commands are intuitive.
First, a welcome message appears, which says that the constructor will help you create and manage a bot. To do this, you first need to click /newbot.
Next, you will be asked to enter a usa student data package name for the new bot, which will be displayed to all users. The title should reflect the bot's theme and not duplicate other names already in the messenger's database.
If the names match, you will need to enter a different title.
Once BotFather has accepted the bot name, it is necessary to come up with a nickname for it – a link to the robot in the application. To avoid fussing, let's just translate the group name into English.
The robot has been created, but it has no functionality yet. Let's fix that.
Each new bot is assigned a token - a personal set of characters that identifies the robot in the messenger. This code must be saved.

Click on Edit Bot. In the window that appears, you can configure the following parameters:
Name;

Basic information;
Bot avatar.
To create a description of the bot, click on the Edit Description item. In response, you will be asked to specify a description that will be displayed to the user in the "What can this bot do?" section.
Specify the information taking into account the bot's task, target audience, products sold, etc. If necessary, this information can be changed at any time.
Now click Edit About and specify the information about the bot that will be displayed in its profile.
The bot details have been entered and can be viewed in the chat with BotFather. Now you need to place an avatar. To do this, click Edit Botpic, and then the paperclip icon. You can attach any image stored on your device. You need to choose an avatar that will make the bot stand out from the others and will match its theme.
After these manipulations, the bot looks much nicer, it no longer mixes with a huge number of other robots. Avatar and information will be shown to each user upon receiving the link.
To give the bot the necessary functionality, go to the Edit Commands menu. You should receive the following message: "OK. Send me a list of commands for your bot using this format: command1 - description; command2 - another description. You can also send /empty if the list does not need to be filled in."
To edit commands, you can use BotFather or Manybot. They allow you to design a menu, create a mass mailing for users, and set up commands. The interface is Russified, so there should be no problems.
