Telegram
Note
Add-ons need a development build or a release newer than 4.12.1.
The Telegram add-on binds a Telegram bot to one of your saved agents. A person who messages the bot talks to that agent, and the answer comes back in Telegram. In the current development builds, it is in the development channel of the add-on library, so it can change.
