Integrating a Telegram bot with Amazon Lex using C# — Vladislav Borishchik

In this video Vladislav Borishchik shows you how to integrate your Telegram bot with Amazon Lex using C#. The goal is to add a little intelligence to the bot and make it genuinely useful to online shoppers.

We work through the following stages:

  1. Creating a Lex bot in Amazon.
  2. Editing the IAM role to grant the necessary permissions.
  3. Editing the Telegram bot's code to integrate with Amazon Lex.
  4. Testing the result locally.
  5. Publishing the changes to AWS Lambda.

Our bot's use case is helping online shoppers when something goes wrong with a parcel — it goes missing or arrives damaged. That is just an example: you will be able to apply what you learn here to build your own bots and your own scenarios.
