Every chat is denied until it is on the allowlist. Two Telegram commands and two dashboard surfaces put it there.
A bot added to a group does nothing there
Adding the bot to a Telegram group grants it nothing. It generates nothing until that group is authorized.
What can be authorized
| Kind | How |
|---|---|
| Group or supergroup | Authorized with /authorize, /getid, the /menu picker or the dashboard Groups tab |
| A DM | The user's Telegram username goes on the bot's DM-authorized list, up to 50 |
| Channel | Not supported |
There is no limit on the number of authorized groups.
Not every feature needs an authorized chat
Image generation, image edit,
/raid, the MP3 downloader, emoji pack creation and X automation delivery need one./holders, the multi-chain scanner, the calls commands, buy bot posting and custom commands work in any chat.
/authorize in the group.Authorized (<chat_id>). and the group is live.If the bot is not yet an admin, the reply adds: To unlock image editing and full functionality, promote me to admin in this group.
Owner or Memescale admin only
/authorizeworks for the bot's owner and for Memescale platform admins. From anyone else it only adds the chat to the dashboard's Discovered Groups list, with no reply.
Changing your Telegram @handle does not affect ownership.
Anyone can send /getid in any chat. It replies with the numeric chat id and adds the chat to the dashboard's Discovered Groups list, where the owner can authorize it.
/getid also authorizes, for the right sender
Sent by the bot's owner or a Memescale admin,
/getidauthorizes the chat in the same step.
A private invite link (t.me/+…) cannot be used to authorize a group. For a group reached only through one, send /getid inside the group.
The dashboard's Groups tab (Allowed Groups) lists every authorized chat with its title, chat id and member count.
Two ways to revoke
| Surface | Action |
|---|---|
The /menu Manage Groups picker | Tap a ✅ row to flip it to ❌ |
| The dashboard Groups tab | Trash icon on the group's card, then confirm |
Revoking stops generation in that chat immediately.
It does not remove the bot from the Telegram group.
It deletes no model and no account data.
Re-authorize with /authorize, or from the dashboard while the group is still in Discovered Groups.
Revoking a group does not stop the buy bot posting there; the buy bot has its own target list.
