We Group Bot: Manage Your Group

Your group has three thousand members, every day someone asks the same question, and spammers keep offering "easy money". One person cannot handle that, but a helper bot takes the routine off your hands 🛡️

We Group Bot is a group management bot for Telegram. It is free and does a lot: moderation, auto-replies, statistics, and sweepstakes.

Connected in a minute

1. Add the bot to your group as a member.
2. Make it an administrator.
3. Send the /start command in the group.
4. In the menu that opens, set up the features you need.

The /help command lists its abilities if you want a refresher.

Discipline without arguments

For order in the chat there is a familiar set of commands. Administrators can use them.

• /mute and /unmute: forbid writing and give the voice back.
• /ban and /unban: block a member and lift the block.
• /kick: remove someone from the group while leaving the way back open.

A mild measure works better than a harsh one: warn the offender, and keep a ban for the last resort.

Auto-replies: let the bot answer for you

If the same questions keep coming, set an auto-reply rule. The /filter command adds a rule, /filters shows all of them, and /stop removes what you do not need.

For example, the word "rules" can trigger a list of requirements for members. Newcomers get it right away, and you save time.

Group activity statistics

Three commands show how lively the chat is: /stat for today, /stat_week for seven days, and /stats for a period you choose.

See which days people wrote more and schedule important announcements for those hours. If activity falls, it is time to come up with a topic for discussion.

Sweepstakes in the group

The /create command starts a sweepstake, and /luck shows which one is running in the group now. Giveaways liven up a chat and draw in participants.

• Conditions: word them clearly to avoid arguments.
• Prize: hand out exactly what you promised.
• Law: consider your country's rules on lotteries and contests.

What to think over before turning it on

The bot gets administrator rights, so grant exactly as many as needed. Review them if a feature is no longer used.

Announce the chat rules to members in advance. Punishment under rules nobody has seen breeds resentment.

Mistakes new admins make

• Auto-replies that are too aggressive. The bot reacts to a word, not to meaning, and can answer out of place.
• Bans without a warning. People leave and the group's reputation suffers.
• Too many administrators. The more people with rights, the higher the risk of an accidental ban.
• No rules. Pin a short list of prohibitions and remind newcomers of it.

Test the bot in a trial group of two or three people. Make sure auto-replies do not fire too often, and only then switch it on in the main chat.
