Alphabot supports Telegram communities with the following features:
Raffle embedding, with the ability for users to enter raffles directly within Telegram
Automatic Daily launches embed that auto-updates throughout the day
Telegram join chat requirements on raffles
The first step is to set up the bot in your preferred Telegram channel or group: Telegram Bot Setup.
The Telegram bot can be added to your group using the following link.
To add the bot to a channel, you will need to select Menu > Manage Channel > Administrators > Add Administrator, and then search for the bot by name: alphabot_app_bot
As channels are read-only for regular members, you'll have to give the bot the Admin rights to post messages
and edit messages of others
within that channel.
As all group members are able to send messages by default, there are no required permissions for groups.
However, if you want the bot to automatically pin and unpin messages, you'll have to give the bot Admin rights to Pin messages
.
The daily mint schedule can be enabled on Telegram using the /daily
command. When enabled, the daily mint schedule will be posted automatically into the selected channel or group every day.
If you've given the bot the ability to pin messages, you can instead use /daily pin
and the bot will automatically pin and unpin the message every day.
The daily mint schedule feature can be disabled on Telegram using the /daily-remove
command.
