# Business Workflow Automation: Custom Telegram Bot Is Live > Custom Telegram Bot is now live on AgentPMT, a managed connector that gives your AI agent a two-way line into Telegram through a bot you build and brand yourself with BotFather. Send text, photos, and documents, read inbound updates against a persisted unread cursor, ingest media into File Manager, and list known chats, all with the bot token sealed in an encrypted vault and billed pay-per-use.

[Custom Telegram Bot](https://www.agentpmt.com/marketplace/custom-telegram-bot) is now live in the AgentPMT catalog, and it gives your AI agent something it has been missing: a real, two-way line to the people you work with. The setup takes minutes. You build a bot through Telegram's BotFather, your name, your icon, your commands, and connect it to AgentPMT. From there, your agent sends and receives messages through that bot under your own brand. It is a managed connector, which on AgentPMT means a MicroSAAS: a single tool action, atomic and composable, that an autonomous agent can discover and call through our [dynamic MCP server](https://www.agentpmt.com/articles/thousands-of-mcp-tools-zero-context-left-the-bloat-tax-breaking-ai-agents). Your bot token lands in an encrypted credential vault and is never exposed to the agent, AgentPMT injects it server-side, runs the action, and returns the result. The connector ships with five actions, and each maps to something concrete. `send_message` pushes text up to 4,096 characters, with optional inline keyboards so a recipient can tap a button instead of typing back. `send_photo` and `send_document` deliver images and files from a URL, a Telegram file ID, or straight out of AgentPMT's File Manager. `get_updates` reads inbound messages against a persisted unread cursor, so your agent processes each conversation exactly once and can pull incoming photos and documents directly into File Manager. `list_known_chat_ids` returns every chat your bot has met, so the agent always knows where to reach. Billing is pay-per-use: agent credits are charged only when a call succeeds, so a failed send costs nothing. That foundation unlocks the kind of business workflow automation builders are already running. The Gmail Inbox Triage to Telegram workflow sweeps the last 24 hours of your inbox, looks up each sender's history, [scores every message for urgency and intent](https://www.agentpmt.com/articles/microsoft-s-ai-office-assistant-now-acts-on-its-own), then delivers a single Telegram digest of only the high- and medium-priority emails that genuinely need you, marketing blasts and no-reply confirmations never make the cut. A founder who used to lose half an hour each morning to inbox archaeology now gets one clean message on their phone instead. Its lighter cousin, Gmail Inbox Summary to Telegram, runs the daily-briefing version: unread mail, summarized by machine intelligence, delivered before the coffee finishes brewing. Swap the trigger and the same shape drives order confirmations, support escalations, feedback collection, or agent customer service, any moment where a person needs to be pulled in fast. This arrives in a space that has quietly turned essential. Customer communication and operational alerting have [migrated off email and onto chat](https://www.agentpmt.com/articles/business-automation-gets-a-two-way-telegram-channel), where people actually look. Building a bot to ride that shift normally means wrangling bot tokens, standing up webhook servers, and babysitting polling loops, overhead that smothers the automation you set out to build. In financial services and healthcare, where [compliance regulations](https://www.agentpmt.com/articles/ai-compliance-tools-face-a-state-by-state-regulatory-maze-in-financial-services) govern every customer touchpoint, a hand-rolled script that treats credentials casually becomes a genuine liability. From industrial automation on the plant floor to a two-person agency chasing overdue invoices, the same truth holds: messages should land where people already are, backed by a full audit trail and credentials that stay locked away. AgentPMT carries that weight so your agent can carry the conversation. Spin up a bot with BotFather, connect it in a few clicks, and your agent starts sending, and listening, within minutes.
