What it does

Enables you to design, deploy, and run a multi‑platform chatbot (Telegram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack) using a drag‑and‑drop Node‑RED flow, without writing code.

When to use it

•You need a quick proof‑of‑concept chatbot for customer support across several messaging apps.
•Your team lacks dedicated developers but can edit visual flows in Node‑RED.
•You want to prototype conversation logic (menus, quick replies, API calls) and iterate fast.

Ready-to-paste prompt

{
  "id":"e3f1b2c3.4d5e6",
  "type":"telegram-receiver",
  "name":"Telegram In",
  "bot":"myBotToken",
  "output":"payload"
},
{
  "id":"a1b2c3d4.5e6f7",
  "type":"function",
  "name":"Echo",
  "func":"msg.payload = \"You wrote: \" + msg.payload;\nreturn msg;",
  "outputs":1,
  "noerr":0,
  "x":200,
  "y":120,
  "wires":[["c8d9e0f1.2a3b4"]]
},
{
  "id":"c8d9e0f1.2a3b4",
  "type":"telegram-sender",
  "name":"Telegram Out",
  "bot":"myBotToken",
  "x":400,
  "y":120,
  "wires":[]
}

Heads up: The Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp or Slack nodes require the respective platform’s API token/secret; the token must be set either in the node’s credentials or via the environment variable `CHATBOT_<PLATFORM>_TOKEN`. Forgetting to provide a valid token will cause the node to fail silently at runtime.
