Telegram Auto-Reply Bot Without Coding: Keyword Replies, Buttons & Broadcasts (2026)

Make a Telegram bot that answers people automatically — create it with @BotFather, paste the token into yudochat, and set keyword replies with links, buttons and files. No code, from your phone.

Telegram is where a lot of Indian creators, coaches and traders keep their most loyal audience — and where the same questions arrive all day: “link?”, “fees kitni hai?”, “PDF bhejo”. A Telegram bot can answer every one of them instantly, and you don’t need to write a line of code to make one.

How a Telegram auto-reply bot works

  1. You create a bot with Telegram’s official @BotFather. It gets its own username, like @yourbrand_bot.
  2. People start it — by tapping a t.me/yourbrand_bot link in your bio, a post or a video description.
  3. They send a word — LINK, PDF, FEES — and the bot replies instantly with your answer.

Telegram has one firm rule: a bot can’t message anyone first. Everyone it talks to has started the chat themselves, which is also why bot replies don’t feel like spam.

Step 1: Create your bot with @BotFather (2 minutes)

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather (the one with the blue tick).
  2. Send /newbot.
  3. Pick a display name (Your Brand Help) and a username ending in bot (yourbrand_bot).
  4. BotFather replies with a token — a long line like 123456:ABC-…. Copy the whole line. Treat it like a password.

Step 2: Connect it to yudochat

  1. Install yudochat from Google Play or the App Store and sign up free.
  2. Go to the You tab → Telegram.
  3. Paste the token. Your bot is now connected and listening.

Step 3: Add your auto-replies

  1. Type the keyword people will send — LINK — or leave it empty to answer every message.
  2. Write the reply: what they asked for, with your link.
  3. Save. Send your keyword to the bot from your phone to test it.

From the automation’s settings you can then add the rest of the kit:

FreePaid
Keyword or every-message replies✓✓
Up to 3 link buttons under the reply✓✓
“Tap to get it” button before the answer✓✓
Picture card (image + headline + buttons)—✓ Creator and up
Send a file (PDF, image)—✓ Creator and up
Ask for their email or phone—✓ Creator and up
Broadcast to everyone who started your bot—✓ Pro and up

Broadcasts: why a bot beats a channel post

Instagram and Facebook only let you message people for a limited time after they write to you. Telegram doesn’t have that window. Everyone who has started your bot can get your next broadcast — a new video, a launch, a webinar link — until they send /stop, which yudochat honours automatically.

Ideas that work

  • “Send PDF” — deliver a free guide or price list as a file.
  • “FEES” — answer the most common question about your course or service, with a button to pay or book.
  • Every message — a welcome message with your three most useful links as buttons.
  • From YouTube or Instagram — end your videos with “message LINK to t.me/yourbrand_bot”, and pair it with a YouTube comment auto-reply or an Instagram comment-to-DM automation.

Every person who writes to your bot lands in the same Leads list as your Instagram, Facebook and YouTube commenters.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Telegram auto-reply bot without coding? +

Create a bot with @BotFather in Telegram (send /newbot, pick a name and username), copy the token it gives you, and paste it into a no-code tool like yudochat. Then set a keyword and the reply — your bot answers everyone who sends that word.

Can a Telegram bot message people first? +

No. Telegram only lets a bot message someone after that person has started a chat with it. That's why bot links (t.me/yourbot) in your bio, posts and videos matter — every person who taps Start can then get your replies and broadcasts.

Can my Telegram bot send links, buttons and files? +

Yes. In yudochat a Telegram reply can carry your link, up to three link buttons, a picture card, and a file such as a PDF. Picture cards and files are on the paid plans; keyword replies and link buttons work on Free.

Is a Telegram auto-reply bot free? +

Creating the bot with @BotFather is free. yudochat's Free plan answers up to 300 people a month across Telegram, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Broadcasts to everyone who has started your bot are on Pro.

Can a Telegram bot check if someone joined my channel? +

Not in yudochat — and a bot can't see who follows whom. The follow check is an Instagram feature. On Telegram, use a 'tap to get it' button instead, so the link arrives when they ask for it.

Will my bot spam people who message it often? +

No. yudochat sends each person at most one automatic message per 30 days for the same automation, and people can send /stop to opt out of broadcasts.
