How to set up Telegram Customer Support

1

Create Telegram bot

Use @BotFather to create a bot and get its token. Connect in Fiko.
2

Build knowledge base for support

Add FAQ pairs, product information, troubleshooting guides. The AI uses this to answer customer questions.
3

Configure escalation logic

AI answerability triage: if confidence is low or specific keywords detected ('refund', 'urgent', 'complaint'), escalate to human.
4

Assign team members

Set up operators in Fiko. Telegram conversations route to them when AI escalates.
5

Test with edge cases

Test simple questions (should be AI), unusual ones (should escalate), complaint scenarios (should escalate immediately).
