Bot Setup

Create a Bot

By default, bots only see messages that mention them or start with /. To see all group messages:

Privacy mode changes only apply to groups the bot joins after the change. Remove and re-add the bot to existing groups.

For full functionality, make the bot an administrator with these permissions:

Permission	Required For
Delete messages	Deleting messages from the UI
Ban users	Ban/unban actions
Pin messages	Pin/unpin messages
Invite users	Invite link management
Add new admins	Promote/demote administrators
Change group info	Modify chat settings

The bot works with any subset — features requiring missing permissions will return errors.
