# Creating the first script

In the future, you can use one of the ready-made templates:

![](/files/MkcMzmVdUtmVRsgQNw53)

But now for training, we will create our own:

![](/files/B5WMkTmO88YE8DXP1arG)

Let's create a bot in Telegram. It will respond to the start button or the "Hi" message:

![](/files/9tB1erYMIbebzLOLItm5)

The bot will respond to this with “Hello from the bot!”

![](/files/UX4mYgqt5obKf9I83n37)

To publish a script, you need to link a channel. Click on the "Publish" button at the top right and we get a message:

![](/files/CuQrg9w6LbePjlEYwnCo)

A channel is any VK community or a chat bot in Telegram, which must first be added to the system. 

If we click "Create a channel", we will see that so far the list of channels is empty. Let's create a new bot. To do this, follow the link in BotFather:

![](/files/T5xLeeoyVwkgzHOpI2WF)

A dialogue will open in Telegram. Here you need to execute the /newbot command, select a name and username and get a token from BotFather:

![](/files/nTD1FePVoEzJ1B9XJOZR)

Copy the token, paste it into the service window and click "Create":

![](/files/JJ2o49Z7W0M3HF96i9MD)

The channel is now bound to the script:

![](/files/4Vo6WQC3zsp6deaaLTEg)

Pay attention to the words "Account is linked". Now it's set to "No". You need to click "bind" and send a specific message to your bot:

![](/files/f3xwcKucDl2pFcXZalOd)

![](/files/bVFUtg9JwwBojYHPW6XL)

This will link your Telegram account to the service and confirm that you are an administrator. Now you can publish the script, go to the bot and test its work:

![](/files/dvSnpa0Xslicr0sb6RJO)

The administrator can also test unpublished scenarios, we will talk about this in more detail a little later.
