cd webhook-aiogram-heroku
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Create a new Heroku app.
heroku create
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Set the Config Vars.

To confirm your bot is working:

  • Run heroku ps which will show you details of your dyno.
=== web (Free): python start.py (1)
