 ## Prerequisites
 
-### Create Telegram bot
+### Create a bot in Telegram
 
-Create your Telegram bot and [retrieve the API key](/integrations/telegram). The `api_key` will be used for adding the bot to Home Assistant during integration setup.
+To create your first [Telegram bot](https://core.telegram.org/bots#how-do-i-create-a-bot), follow these steps:
+
+1. Tell Telegram to create a bot for you:
+   - In Telegram, open a chat with [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and enter `/newbot`.
+   - Follow the instructions on screen and give your bot a name.
+   - BotFather will give you a link to your new bot and an HTTP **API token**.
+   - Store the **API token** somewhere safe, it will be used for setting up the integration later.
+2. Get your **chat ID**:
+   - Send any message to the [GetIDs bot](https://t.me/getidsbot).
+   - Then, enter `/start`.
+   - The bot will return your **chat ID** and username.
+   - Note down your **chat ID**. You will need to add this ID to the allowlist after setting up the integration to permit your new bot to send/receive messages with this target.
+3. Make the first contact with your new bot (bots are not allowed to initiate contact with users):
+   - From the conversation with BotFather, select the link to open a chat.
+   - In the chat, enter `/start`.
