The problem with plain usernames

A Telegram username alone is not enough for reliable owner routing. Usernames can change, be mistyped, or point to the wrong account.

The safer pattern

BotLink now uses a verification handshake through the actual tenant bot. The intended owner opens a deep link, starts the bot, and the workspace stores the verified Telegram user and chat target.

Why this matters

That extra step gives the product a real destination for escalations and summaries instead of a guess.
