What BotFather and a bot token are
BotFather is where Telegram creates your bot and gives you its token. The token is a secret code that proves control of the bot. Never publish it or send it to another person.
A bot has a display name, which can contain spaces and need not be unique, and a unique @username that must end in bot. Copy the token exactly as BotFather sends it.
Create it quickly from the factory
Open @mansiabot and choose a template such as Group Protection. Tap «⚡ Create via BotFather». BotFather opens with a suggested name and username already filled in; you can edit both before confirming.
After you confirm, the factory connects the bot to the chosen template and runs it under your name. You do not need to write code or arrange hosting.
Create manually and paste the token
For the manual route, open @BotFather and send /newbot. Send the display name first, then choose an available username ending in bot.
When BotFather sends the token, return to @mansiabot after choosing your template. Paste the token directly, or forward BotFather’s message containing it. The same route works for Video Downloader.
Fix a leaked token and edit the profile
If anyone else sees the token, open @BotFather and use /revoke for that bot. The old token stops working and BotFather issues a new one.
Open the bot’s page in @mansiabot, tap «🔑 Update token», and send the complete new token. Do not send the token of a different bot.
To change the photo or description, open BotFather, select your bot and use its editing options. These changes update the bot’s Telegram profile, not the template it runs.
