Pick one channel
Note: Use a dev bot token. Do not paste tokens into University or into git.
Start with Telegram
Telegram needs one bot token from BotFather. Slack needs a bot token and an app token for Socket Mode.
This course uses Telegram so you only manage one secret.
Export the token
Put the token in the environment for the terminal where the bot runs.
Only one process may poll the same Telegram token at a time.
Example
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="123456:ABC-your-token-here"Reference: documentation
