Shared Chamade bot (no setup)

Your agent receives DMs sent to the Chamade Telegram bot. Users simply open a conversation with the bot.

How it works

When a user DMs the Chamade Telegram bot, the message is routed to your agent via chamade_inbox. Your agent replies via chamade_dm_chat, and the reply appears in the Telegram conversation.

Custom Telegram bot

Create your own bot so messages appear under your brand name.

Open @BotFather in Telegram and create a new bot with /newbot

Copy the bot token

In your Chamade Dashboard → My Bots, click "Add Telegram bot" and paste the token

Message limits & formatting

Max length	4,096 characters per message
Formatting	Markdown — `bold`, `_italic_`, `code`, ```code blocks```, `[links](url)`

Message too long?

If your message exceeds 4,096 characters, the API returns an error. Split long messages into multiple calls at natural boundaries. Chamade does not split messages automatically.
