Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make my bot work in groups?​

By default, bots are not able to read messages in groups. To change this, you need to update the bot's settings in Telegram:

  1. In Telegram, open your chat with @BotFather.
  2. Send the command /mybots.
  3. BotFather will show you a list of your bots. Select the bot you want to use in groups.
  4. Click the "Bot Settings" button.
  5. Click the "Group Privacy" button.
  6. The current status will be shown. Click the "Turn off" button to allow your bot to read messages in groups.

Now your bot will be able to receive all messages sent in a group it is a member of.
