- DM the bot from your phone and the message lands in Studio with a green TELEGRAM badge — replies route back to Telegram instantly.
- The lightest-weight communicator: no app manifest, no OAuth flow, no scopes to manage.
- Setup: talk to BotFather to create a bot, copy the resulting token, and paste it into Studio's Communicators card.
- Studio stores the token securely and registers the webhook with Telegram automatically; the bundled tunnel provides the public HTTPS endpoint Telegram needs.
- For scripted setups, the token can live in
workspace.yml or an environment variable, with the webhook registered manually via curl.
