Let customers find your bot
Section titled “Let customers find your bot”Telegram bots can’t message people first, so customers must start the conversation. Share your bot’s link, https://t.me/<your bot username>, on your website, in emails and on printed material. A deep link such as https://t.me/<your bot username>?start=<value> opens the bot with a start parameter, for example to tell which page the customer came from. Customers can also search for the bot by name inside Telegram.
