At times you may need to access the native `Telegraf` instance. For example, you may want to connect stage middleware. You can inject the Telegraf by using the `@InjectBot()` decorator as follows:
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectBot } from 'nestjs-telegraf';
import { Telegraf } from 'telegraf';

@Injectable()
export class BotSettingsService {
  constructor(@InjectBot() private bot: Telegraf) {}
}
```
