Telegram

Telegram is one of Yagr's first external surfaces.

It is important to frame it correctly: Telegram is a gateway into the Yagr agent, not the product's center of gravity. The same Yagr brain should remain reachable from the TUI, CLI, future web surfaces, and other gateways.

Setup flow

During yagr onboard, Yagr can configure Telegram for you. You can also rerun Telegram setup separately:

yagr telegram setup

Yagr will ask for a BotFather token, validate it against Telegram, persist it, and generate an onboarding deep link.

Useful commands

yagr telegram setup
yagr telegram status
yagr telegram onboarding
yagr telegram reset

Product rule

Telegram configuration is stored by Yagr itself. It is not meant to depend on ad hoc TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variables at runtime.

Linking chats

After setup, share the onboarding link or QR code and press Start in Telegram. Yagr stores linked chats in its runtime configuration.

That linked chat is then just another place where intent can enter the agent loop and be turned into workflows.
