# Telegram Deep Linking MyLINK Connect Telegram channel fully supports the [Telegram Deep Linking](https://core.telegram.org/bots#deep-linking) link format. This enables your chatbot to automatically present your user with different informations depending on a specific keyword added to your chat link. ## Building the chat link A standard Telegram chat link would look something like this: ``` http://t.me/ ``` Where \ is the name of your page. To build a referral link, you just add the referral parameter at the end of the link like this: ``` http://t.me/?start= ``` The \ value can be any single word without blank spaces, and it is going to be the value your bot will be looking for. ## Checking for a referral Inside your chatbot, the referral value will be available in a variable named *referral*. Inside your chatbot startup flow, you can use the referral value to [differentiate the flow](/actions-and-operations/flow/xenioo.bots.actions.base.variableconditionaction.md) accordingly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
