Now, when a client sends a message, you will be able to see it and respond through BrandWizard. To go to the conversation of the created channel, click **Take me there**.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/ddf6cffcb123c7bb4b4e079f93c587c6b231b37b)   Go to the **Inboxes** page and make sure that the channel name corresponds to the username of the bot created through **BotFather**.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/dd44a0d63f7be156bcf0badcc8880926ebc6cd16)   Send a message to the Telegram bot. Check the incoming message in BrandWizard in the Telegram section.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/b53aa6da9805cacbb1a9f93eb2250d9849463420)   ---   ### **Frequently Asked Questions**   **Does BrandWizard support Telegram Business Bot accounts?** Yes, BrandWizard supports bots in Business mode. **How to activate Business bots?** - In @BotFather, run the /business\_mode command, select your bot, and confirm. - Create a new inbox in BrandWizard (**Settings → Inboxes → Add Inbox → Telegram**) and insert the same bot token. - BrandWizard will automatically detect the Business mode and register the correct webhook. - For better results, it is recommended to have a separate inbox for this business bot, separate from any other standard bots you already use. **Known issues with Business bots** - Telegram allows responses only within 24 hours of the client's last message (responses from the bot and BrandWizard). - If a user previously interacted with the same bot outside Business mode, responses may appear as outgoing from a regular bot, not a business account; to avoid this confusion, it is recommended to create a separate business bot and inbox. - The Telegram Business API is less functional compared to the regular Bot API (for example, missing typing indicators, limited message types). Plan your work considering these limitations.   ---   ### **Additional channel settings**   The created Telegram channel should appear in the list under the **Inboxes** section. To view or modify additional settings, go to **Settings → Inboxes**, then click on the gear icon next to the Telegram channel.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/e5464ff83f0bee81b73e1782df0867355d97cca7)   You will see the following page:   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/c3bdaa651f2abba7c1ff570a37b297a86ccfd257)   ---   #### **"Settings" section**   - **Channel Avatar**: Add an image for the inbox. Image requirements: - Size: 15 MB. - Format: JPEG/PNG. - **Inbox Name**: Change the inbox name if necessary. - **Enable channel greeting**: After a client sends the first message, you can set up an automatic response. Select **Enabled**. - **Channel Welcome Message**: This field will appear if you enable the channel greeting. Write the message that the client will see after sending their first message, for example, "BrandWizard usually responds within a few minutes." - **Lock to single conversation:** - If you select **Disabled** – after closing the dialogue, new messages from clients will be received as separate new dialogues. - If you select **Enabled** – after closing the dialogue, new messages will return to the existing dialogue, automatically reopening it. After making changes to the settings, click **Update**.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/c3bdaa651f2abba7c1ff570a37b297a86ccfd257)   ---   #### **"Collaborators" section**   Click on the **Collaborators** tab.
