Manybot: Your Own Telegram Bot, No Code

You need a bot for your channel, shop or club, but you do not code. Manybot builds one right in a chat through commands and menus. No programming involved. 🤖

According to the service itself, more than 100 thousand bots have been created with it and over two billion messages sent.

A bot in a single conversation

Begin with /addbot and Manybot creates a new broadcast bot. After that you shape it with the same chat commands.

Change the description with /setdescription, set the language of your bot with /botlang and the language of Manybot itself with /lang. If you slip up, /cancel stops the current operation. ✅

Broadcasting to subscribers

The core job is to send messages to people who subscribed to your bot. A small set of commands covers it:

• /newpost creates a post and sends it to your subscribers.
• /subscribers shows how many people follow your bot.
• /admins manages other people who can work with the bot.

Broadcasts help when you want a direct personal line to your audience instead of a channel feed.

Menus, commands and forms

A bot does not have to only broadcast. You can add custom commands, menus and submenus so people tap buttons instead of hunting through a conversation. 📋

There are also forms for orders and feedback. For a small business that is a way to take requests without a website: the customer fills in fields and you receive a ready request.

Autoposting from outside sources

The /autoposting command connects feeds from RSS and several social networks and video platforms. The bot passes new entries to your subscribers by itself, which saves time when you run more than one platform.

Think about what you forward. Autoposting someone else's content without credit breaks copyright and hurts your reputation.

A sensible first run

1. Decide what the bot is for: broadcasts, requests or a help desk.
2. Create it with /addbot and write a description.
3. Build one simple menu with three or four buttons.
4. Test it from your own account and ask a friend to try.
5. Only then invite subscribers.

What to keep in mind

Subscribers get messages only from bots they chose to follow. Do not push ads more often than people expect: they block bots, and winning them back is hard. 🔕

When you collect data through forms, store it carefully and ask for no more than you need. If you forget a command, /help lists everything in the chat. A ready-made builder will not replace custom code for complex tasks, but for broadcasts and simple menus it is enough.
