Telegram bot that responds to /start with 3 buttons and confirms the selected option
Turn a simple /start into an engaging, button-powered chat and nail that first impression. No more silent bots—get immediate feedback and guide users from the very first second.
Every time someone messages your Telegram channel with /start, you have to respond manually, gather user choices, and make sure each interaction is confirmed—turning what should be a simple welcome or selection process into a tedious back-and-forth. Miss a message or take too long and your users lose engagement, opportunities slip through the cracks, and your professional image suffers from wasted time and inconsistent communication.
This Botize formula instantly turns your Telegram bot into a smart, welcoming guide: it listens for /start, presents users with three clickable buttons (fully customizable for your needs), and automatically confirms their choice with a personalized message. No coding, just seamless interaction—whether you're offering services, letting users select categories, or kicking off workflows. The result: a frictionless onboarding or selection process that guarantees every user is acknowledged, your time is freed up, and your Telegram channel becomes reliably interactive around the clock.
Ready to eliminate busywork and delight every new contact? Follow the simple steps to activate this formula in Botize—adjust the button text, confirmation reply, or trigger events as you wish, all with granular control. Or, if you want to skip ahead, use the pre-built setup where everything’s ready for you. Your streamlined Telegram experience starts now!

⌾︎ You want your Telegram bots to be warm greeters, not robots.
⌾︎ You run a channel, group, or business and need quick, actionable choices from users.
✕ You only need basic, one-way bot notifications.
✕ Your users never interact with your bots at all—who needs buttons then?
✓ Personalize button texts to fit your exact use case—anything from games to services to categories.
✓ Rewrite the response message to match your brand’s vibe (serious, fun, cheeky—your call).
✓ Choose what action happens after a button is pressed: trigger automations, redirect, or just show a message.
This automation creates a simple Telegram bot interaction. When a user sends the command /start, the bot replies with a message that includes three buttons representing different options. When the user presses one of the buttons, the bot sends a new message confirming the option that was selected. You can customize the button texts and the confirmation message that the bot sends after the user chooses an option, adapting the interaction to your own use case (for example choosing a service, selecting a category, or starting a specific action).
