Telegram Bot (Node.js)

Same as "Telegram Bot", but written in JavaScript (Node.js, Telegraf library) instead of Python — functionally identical.

  1. 1

    Sign up on Deployka

    If you don't have an account yet — create one in 30 seconds: email and password.

    Get the values you'll need

    This template needs one variable: BOT_TOKEN. Here's exactly how to get each one.

    BOT_TOKEN
    1. Open Telegram — phone or desktop, doesn't matter.
    2. Search for @BotFather and open it — this is Telegram's official bot for creating bots.
    3. Send it the command /newbot.
    4. It will ask for a name — type anything, e.g. "My First Bot". This is just the display name.
    5. Then it asks for a username — it must end in "bot", e.g. my_first_helper_bot. If it's taken, try another.
    6. BotFather sends back a long string like 123456789:AAHf3x... — that's your token. Select and copy the whole thing.
    7. Paste that token into the BOT_TOKEN field on Deployka.

    Never share this token with anyone — it grants full control over your bot.

  3. 3

    Deploy it

    Click the button below — it opens the templates page with this template already selected. If it needs variables, paste the values from the step above and click Deploy.

    Deploy "Telegram Bot (Node.js)"

    Deploy usually takes 20–40 seconds. The project status appears in your dashboard and switches to "running" once it's ready.

  4. 4

    Check that it works

    Open Telegram, find your bot and send /start. It should reply within a few seconds.

    This type of project has no web address of its own — that's expected, not an error.

  5. 5

    Something not working?

    Open the project page in your dashboard → Logs tab — it shows the exact reason (wrong token, code error, missing variable). Still stuck? Contact support right from your dashboard, or via the Telegram bot with /support.
