BotFather initially shows a list of all available commands. All commands need to start with a slash ( / ). To create a new bot, we need to use the
/newbot
command.
As you start typing, BotFather will automatically suggest available commands. Click the "newbot" command. The BotFather will then ask you to provide some information for your new bot.
Once you're done giving your bot a username and a name (the username of the bot needs to end in "bot"), the BotFather will text you the unique token of your bot.
As mentioned in the introduction, this is the unique identifier of your bot, which you will need to send messages to your bot.
Copy or write down the token now, because we will need it later on when configuring Telegram for the NETx BMS Core Server.
