Buy bot setup

The buy bot posts a message in a Telegram group every time someone buys the token it is configured for. Set it up inside Telegram or from the dashboard.

Overview

Who may operate it

Setting it up is turning it on

The buy bot turns on by itself the first time a save leaves it with both a contract address and at least one group. Removing the last group and adding one back turns it on again. While both are present, the settings-card switch, /enablebuybot, Lock It In and the dashboard toggle control it. Saving with only one of the two never turns it on.

In Telegram

Group path

1. Add the bot to the group and promote it to admin. If it isn't admin yet, it replies Promote me to admin first, then send /enablebuybot again.
2. Send /enablebuybot in the group. This authorizes the group and adds it to the buy bot's groups (up to 10).
3. If no contract address is set yet, the bot replies Send the contract address right here and I'll enable it.
4. Paste the contract address in that same group. Anything that isn't an address is ignored and the prompt keeps waiting.
5. If the address is an EVM address DexScreener doesn't list, the bot asks Which chain is this token on? with one button per EVM chain.
6. The bot replies Done ✅ — $SYM buys post here. followed by Send /buybotsettings if you'd like to customize the layout, emojis, or media. The group is now live.

Note

If a contract address is already set, step 2 finishes with Buy bot enabled ✅ — buys post here. If the group is already added and the bot is on: Buy bot is already enabled for $SYM here — still running, nothing changed.

Limit

Past 10 groups: Limit reached, we're already in 10 groups. Remove a group first and then send the /enablebuybot again to enable the buy bot.

Starting in a DM

1. Send /enablebuybot in a DM with no contract address set. The bot replies Send the token's contract address and I'll set it up.
2. Paste the address. The bot looks it up on DexScreener and shows a card: Found $SYM — <name> (or I couldn't find that token on DexScreener yet — it may be very new.), the chain, the address, and Lock it in?, with Confirm ✅ / Cancel buttons.
3. Tap Confirm ✅. The bot saves the contract address and chain. If DexScreener lists links the layout uses, the socials card opens next (see Commands and the settings card); otherwise any missing link is asked for one by one.
4. With a token set but no group yet, the bot replies No group yet — Send /enablebuybot inside any group I'm an admin in and I'll begin sending alerts right away.
5. Go to the group, promote the bot to admin, and send /enablebuybot.

Forking a layout first

1. Send /forkbuybot. If the bot already has a custom layout, it warns that the fork will overwrite it.
2. Paste or forward the other bot's buy post — image, GIF or video included. This copies only the body text, size emoji and media. The buy bot is not enabled and no groups are added.
3. The post-fork wizard opens: links, then media and emoji, then locked in — see Commands and the settings card. It asks for the contract address first; the DexScreener lookup also supplies the project links.
4. Tapping Lock It In turns the bot on only if a group is already added. Without one, the final card tells you to send /enablebuybot in the group.

Limit

A private invite link (t.me/+…) can't be used to add a group. Send /getid in that group and paste the numeric ID instead.

In the dashboard

The buy bot is available for Telegram bots only.

Dashboard path

1. Open the Buy Bot tab: dashboard → beta tab → Buy Bot.
2. Tap Set up.
3. Pick the chain: Which chain is the token on? shows one button per supported chain; Cancel closes the tab.
4. In Settings, set Currently enabled in to a group. Picking a group labelled "unauthorized — picking authorizes it" authorizes it.
5. Enter the Contract address.
6. Optional: Layout settings, Emoji settings, media, buttons, body edits.
7. Tap Save & push.

Warning

The dashboard's group picker holds one group — picking a new one replaces it. To post in more groups (up to 10), send /enablebuybot in each extra group or use Manage Groups in Telegram.
