Bot Settings

The Bot Settings page is where you can configure the core properties of your bot, manage its operational state, and perform sensitive actions like updating its bot token or deleting it.

Bot Control​

This section provides a straightforward way to manage your bot's lifecycle.

  • Start Bot: Start your bot, making it online and responsive.
  • Stop Bot: Shut down your bot, taking it offline.

Commands​

Here you can manage the commands that are visible to your users on Telegram. This is a crucial part of making your bot interactive and user-friendly.

For each command, you can configure:

  • Command: The text that triggers the command (e.g., /start, /help).
  • Description: A short, user-facing explanation of what the command does. This is displayed in the command list on Telegram.

You can add new commands, edit existing ones, or delete them as needed.

Appearance​

This section controls how your bot's profile looks to users on Telegram.

  • Name: The display name of your bot.
  • Description: The text that appears in the main chat window before a user has started a conversation. It's a great place for a greeting or a brief introduction.
  • About Text: The text that is shown on your bot's profile page. This is a good place for more detailed information about your bot's purpose and functionality.

Changes made to these fields are reflected on Telegram in real-time.

Bot Token​

This is a critical, and sensitive, part of your bot's configuration.

The bot token is a unique string that authenticates your bot with the Telegram API. If you need to regenerate your token (for example, if you believe it has been compromised), you can get a new one from @BotFather on Telegram and update it here.

warning

Your bot token is a secret. Treat it like a password. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control. Anyone with your token can take full control of your bot.

Danger Zone​

This section contains actions that have destructive and irreversible consequences.

  • Delete Bot: This will permanently delete your bot from the platform, including all of its versions, flows, and logs. This action cannot be undone. You will be asked to confirm this action before it is executed.
