* The bot will generate a message with ID for the group in a chat.&#x20;
* Copy the generated ID.&#x20;
* Return to the VENQ platform, and paste the ID into the "Channel ID" field.&#x20;
* Choose "Telegram" as a required platform.
* Click "Save" after filling out the required fields.

After that, you need to add VENQ.ai to your Telegram Community as a Bot to operate and handle answers!

To do this, open your group's information, click the three dots on the right, select "Add Users," and search for "VENQAI\_bot" Add the VENQ bot and grant it the necessary admin rights (without adding admin). ✔️
