Telegram

A Telegram bot for your shop, in about two minutes

Telegram is the messenger Myanmar moved to: no VPN, the most downloaded app in the country, and a bot API that costs nothing. Connect one and ChatWun answers there in Burmese.

A ChatWun Telegram bot is a Telegram account that answers your customers automatically from your price list and knowledge, in Burmese, English or Thai, and hands anything it cannot answer to your staff in the same inbox. Creating one takes three steps and costs nothing beyond your ChatWun plan.

Why Telegram first

  • It works without a VPN, which since the 2025 law matters to your customers as much as to you.
  • Telegram's bot API is free. There is no per-message or per-bot fee, unlike Viber.
  • Groups and channels are where sellers already post; a bot link in the pinned message turns a channel into a shop that answers.

Connect it

  1. 1Find @BotFather in Telegram.It is Telegram's own account for making bots. Open it and press Start.
  2. 2Send /newbot and give it a name.The name is what customers see, so use your shop's name. BotFather replies with a token, a long line of letters and numbers.
  3. 3Paste the token into ChatWun.Settings → Channels → Telegram. Paste, connect, done. Send your bot a message to watch it answer.

What a customer sees

Do you deliver to Mandalay?

Yes. Mandalay delivery is 4,000 MMK and takes 2 to 3 days. Free on orders over 50,000 MMK.

Can I pay with KBZPay?

Yes. KBZPay, Wave Money and cash on delivery all work. Send the payment screenshot and we confirm right away.

When a person is needed

A customer who asks for a person, or a question outside your knowledge, is handed to your staff in the ChatWun inbox with the whole conversation attached. Your staff reply from there; the customer stays in Telegram and notices nothing except that a person has joined.

Which plan

Telegram is included from the Starter plan. The Free plan is web chat and the shop link only.

What everyone asks first

Do I need a developer?

No. BotFather gives you a token; you paste it. That is the whole integration.

Can my staff answer in the same bot?

Yes. They reply from the ChatWun inbox and the customer sees it in the same Telegram chat.

Can I connect a Telegram group or channel?

Connect the bot, then add its link to your group's pinned message or your channel's description. Customers tap it and start a private chat with the bot.

Your customers never wait.

Set it up in about five minutes and ask it a question yourself. If it cannot answer, you have lost nothing.
