    ChatGPT says that is Possible, but probably is wrong. Can anyone help me here?

    Yes, you can create a Mini App for Telegram using Toddle.dev. Here's a simple way to do it:

    1. Set Up Toddle:
    - Sign up and create a new project.
    - Design the app's interface using Toddle's visual components.

    2. Connect to Telegram API:
    - Create a Telegram bot via [BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) to get the access token.
    - Use Toddle to make API calls to Telegram, set up a webhook to listen for messages, and handle sending/receiving messages.

    3. Implement Features:
    - Add custom commands, auto-responses, and integrations with other APIs.
    - Define the business logic and user interactions using Toddle's workflow tools.

    4. Test and Deploy:
    - Test your Mini App in Toddle to ensure everything works.
    - Deploy the app and set up the necessary webhooks for Telegram.

    Example:

    1. Create Telegram Bot:
    - Open Telegram and search for @BotFather.
    - Use /newbot to create a new bot and save the token.

    2. Set Up Webhook in Toddle:
    - Create a new endpoint in Toddle to handle Telegram webhooks.
    - Configure the webhook to receive updates from Telegram.

    3. Design Interface:
    - Use Toddle's blocks and components to design your app's UI.

    4. Implement Logic:
    - Define how your Mini App will respond to messages using Toddle's tools.

    This process leverages Toddle's ease of use to create a functional Mini App that connects to Telegram efficiently.

    toddle doesn’t provide a backend so not entirely correct
  • There are no webhooks you can receive in toddle so most of the setup is backend stuff
  • toddle can build a UI though and frontend logic

    As Lucas said toddle only handles the frontend, so you will need a backend to handle a lot of that.
  • Building the frontend in toddle is not going to be an issue.
