BotStar
BotStar is a chatbot-builder platform in the same general category as Chatfuel and Manybot, offering a drag-and-drop flow editor for building conversations without code. This bot is where a Telegram integration begins — connect a BotFather token and design the conversation using BotStar's visual canvas.
Compared to the simpler, purely chat-driven setup of a bot like Manybot, a drag-and-drop canvas gives more visibility into branching logic at a glance, which tends to help once a bot has more than a handful of paths — multiple menus, conditional replies, or a multi-step lead-capture flow. That extra structure comes with a bit more of a learning curve than typing configuration commands into a chat.
As an English-language platform with an international user base, it is a reasonable option for teams building a Telegram bot who are not tied to a Russian-market tool and want a visual editor rather than a fully custom-coded solution.
How to start
- Create a bot and get its token from @BotFather
- Open @BotStar_bot, sign up and connect your token
