What is Livegram

A feedback bot for Telegram, without the code

Instead of writing code and renting a server, you create a bot the normal way — through Telegram's own @BotFather — and hand its token to Livegram. From that moment your bot is live: anyone who opens its link and presses Start can write to you, and everything they send is forwarded into a chat you choose.

The routing runs both ways. A subscriber's message arrives as a card in your admin chat; you use Telegram's ordinary Reply function, and your answer is delivered back under the bot's name. Livegram itself is just the relay — a proxy between two Telegram chats, with the conversation living in Telegram and nowhere else.

  • You own the bot — the token is from your own @BotFather account
  • Your username, phone number and profile stay private
  • Free to build, receive, answer, broadcast and measure

How it works

Live in under five minutes

Four steps, all inside Telegram. No hosting, no deployment, nothing to install.

Create a bot in @BotFather

Send /newbot to Telegram's official bot-making bot. Pick a display name and a username ending in bot, and it hands you an API token.

Connect it with /addbot

Open @LivegramBot, send /addbot and paste the token — or simply forward the @BotFather message and Livegram reads it out.

Point it at a chat, share the link

Choose where messages land: your own chat, or a private group your team can answer from. Then publish the bot's t.me link.

Reply, and keep replying

Messages arrive in the chat you chose. Swipe, hit Reply, and your answer goes out under the bot's name.

Features

Everything you need to talk to your audience

All of it free. The paid plan only removes Livegram's own ads and branding.

🤖

Connect a bot you made yourself

You create the bot in @BotFather, pick its username and avatar, and paste the token into Livegram. Livegram never owns the bot — it operates the one you authorised, and revoking the token ends the connection instantly.

💬

Every message type Telegram supports

Text, photos, videos, voice messages, documents and stickers are forwarded exactly as they were sent. Your audience never has to think about format.

🕶️

Reply with Reply — and stay anonymous

Each message arrives as its own card in your admin chat. Swipe, hit Reply, type — the answer goes back under the bot's name, never your personal account.

👥

Team inbox in a group chat

Point the bot at a private group and your whole team sees every incoming message. Anyone can pick one up, and handovers stay visible in one place.

🗂️

Several bots, one account

/mybots lists every bot you have connected and configures each independently — its own admin chat, its own texts, its own audience.

🌐

Multi-language bots

Add several interface languages to a bot, and route each language to its own chat. Welcome texts are edited per language.

✍️

Editable bot texts

Replace the default greeting with your own wording, per language. A clear welcome message cuts down on "hello?" messages that need a second round-trip.

📣

Broadcasts to everyone who wrote in

Send an announcement to everyone who has written to your bot, all at once — the right channel for service updates a channel post would miss.

📊

Analytics

See how many users your bot has and how many messages have gone through it, so you can watch the trend after you promote it or change the greeting.

🕓

History lives in your Telegram chat

Forwarded messages stay in your admin chat like any other Telegram messages, so a returning person arrives with context. Livegram stores no message content — the only thing kept on its side is the bot owner's Telegram ID, for sign-in and account management.

✈️

Runs inside Telegram

Connecting a bot, editing texts, broadcasting and reading analytics all happen in a chat. No dashboard, no hosting, no deployment.

🔒

A pure proxy, by design

Messages travel between people inside Telegram — Livegram only relays them. Content is not read by the operator and is not stored anywhere outside Telegram.

Use cases

What people build with Livegram

The same bot solves very different problems, depending on where you put the link.

📥

Channel suggestion box

Let readers submit tips, memes, photos and corrections without opening your DMs to a hundred thousand people. Submissions land in a private chat where you or your editors triage them.

🎧

Customer support desk

Point the bot at a private group and put your support team in it. Customers get one place to write — no ticket portal, no login — and the whole team sees the thread.

⭐

Feedback and complaints intake

Put the bot link on receipts, in your app or at the end of a course. People answer more readily in a chat they already have open than in a web form.

🛒

Order and request intake

For a small shop or repair service, the bot is a low-friction order form: the customer sends what they want and a photo, and you confirm. No forms to build.

💡

Community Q&A

Large groups drown individual questions. A bot gives every member a private line to the moderators, answered collectively from a shared chat.

🔐

Anonymous tip line

Newsrooms, HR teams and student unions can publish a bot link as a confidential channel. Be clear about limits: Telegram still knows who sent the message.

🎯

Lead capture from ads

Send traffic straight to your bot instead of a contact form. One tap, already logged in, no captcha, no reply lost to spam.

🎓

Course and cohort support

Hand out one bot link at the start of a term for homework questions and submissions — without giving out a teacher's personal contact details.

Pricing

Free forever. Pro is optional.

Livegram is funded by ads shown inside the bots — that is what keeps the core product free for everyone.

How to create a Telegram feedback bot in 5 minutes

A complete beginner walkthrough — from registering a bot with @BotFather to sending your first reply. No code, no server, no separate app to install.
4 min

What you are actually building

A feedback bot is a two-way channel between you and your audience. Someone opens your bot, writes a message, and that message arrives in your Telegram. You reply, and your answer goes back to them from the bot — your personal account is never shown.

Livegram is the piece in the middle. You own the bot; Livegram routes the messages. Building the bot, receiving messages, adding admins, broadcasts and analytics are all free.

Before you start

You need two things:

  • A Telegram account (any account — no channel or group required yet).
  • Two minutes of undisturbed attention. You will be handling a bot token, and it is easier to do that correctly the first time than to fix it later.

Step 1. Register your bot with @BotFather

@BotFather is Telegram's own bot for creating bots. It is the only legitimate place to get a token.

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather. Check the blue verified badge — there are impostor accounts with similar names.
  2. Press Start, then send /newbot.
  3. BotFather asks for a display name. This is what people see at the top of the chat, for example Acme Support. You can change it later.
  4. BotFather asks for a username. It must be unique and end in bot — for example AcmeSupportBot. This one is much harder to change, so choose carefully.
  5. BotFather replies with a congratulations message containing your token. It looks like a long string with a colon in the middle.

Treat that token as a password. Anyone who has it controls your bot completely. Do not paste it into a group chat, a screenshot, or a public issue tracker.

Step 2. Copy the token

Tap the token in BotFather's message to copy it. On desktop, select the whole string — including the numbers before the colon. A token that is missing its leading digits will be rejected.

Step 3. Connect the bot to Livegram

  1. Open @LivegramBot and press Start (this sends /start).
  2. If the interface is not in your language, send /lang and choose one.
  3. Send /addbot.
  4. Paste the token and send it.

Livegram validates the token with Telegram and confirms the connection. From this point your bot is live — it will answer people immediately.

If you want to see or manage everything you have connected, send /mybots. That is the control panel for renaming, checking stats, sending broadcasts and disconnecting bots.

Step 4. Test it before you tell anyone

Do not skip this. Testing takes thirty seconds and catches almost every setup mistake.

  1. Open your new bot — the link is t.me/YourBotUsername.
  2. Press Start and send a test message. Send a photo and a voice message too: text, photos, videos, voice messages, files and stickers are all supported.
  3. Switch to @LivegramBot. The message should be there.
  4. Reply to that message using Telegram's reply function — swipe left on mobile, or right-click → Reply on desktop.
  5. Go back to your bot chat. The answer should appear, sent by the bot, with no trace of your personal account.

Reply is the core mechanic and the single thing new owners get wrong most often: a message typed into @LivegramBot without being a reply goes nowhere useful. Always reply to the specific forwarded message.

Testing from your own account works, but if you can, ask a friend to test as well. That confirms the experience a stranger actually gets.

Step 5. Give the bot a face, then share it

People trust a bot that looks finished. Back in @BotFather:

  • /setuserpic — upload a logo or avatar.
  • /setabouttext — the short line shown on the bot's profile before someone starts it.
  • /setdescription — the text shown on the empty chat screen, above the Start button. Use it to say what the bot is for and when you answer: "Send us your question. We reply on weekdays, 9:00–18:00 CET."

Then share the link. Where it works best:

  • Pinned in your channel's description or a pinned post.
  • In your channel's "Contact" button.
  • On your website, in your email signature, in your other social profiles.

A link alone converts badly. A sentence of context — "Questions about an order? Write to @AcmeSupportBot" — converts much better.

What the free version looks like to your users

Livegram is free because it is ad-supported. In the free version your bot carries the label "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" and ads may be shown. If you would rather your bot looked entirely like your own, Livegram Pro removes both — see the Pro guide.

Key takeaways

  • Create the bot with @BotFather (/newbot), copy the token, send /addbot to @LivegramBot and paste it. That is the whole setup.
  • The username is permanent in practice; the display name is not. Choose the username slowly.
  • The token is a password. Never share it; if it leaks, /revoke it in BotFather.
  • Replies must be actual Telegram replies. Typing a loose message does not reach the user.
  • Test with text, a photo and a voice message before you publish the link.
  • Set an avatar, about text and description — it takes two minutes and visibly raises trust.

Setting up a support team — letting several people answer from one bot

How to move from a one-person inbox to a shared group chat where a whole team answers, and how to run shifts without stepping on each other.
4 min

Why a personal inbox stops working

A solo feedback bot is fine until one of three things happens: you go on holiday, volume outgrows one person, or you hire someone. At that point everything you need is already in Livegram — you connect a group chat as the destination, and the whole team answers from there.

The mechanics stay identical. Users write to the bot; messages land in the group; anyone in the group replies to a message and the answer goes out from the bot. Your users never see who typed it, or how many of you there are.

Step 1. Create the group

  1. In Telegram, create a new group. Name it something operational — Acme — Support inbox, not chat.
  2. Add only the people who should be able to answer customers. Everyone in this group can send messages to your users on your behalf. Treat membership as a permission.
  3. Do not reuse an existing team chat. Discussion and the inbox must not share a window: side conversations bury real messages, and one careless reply goes to a customer.

Step 2. Add the bot and connect it

  1. Add your bot (not @LivegramBot) to the group.
  2. Promote it to administrator. This matters technically: Telegram bots run in privacy mode by default and only see commands and replies, but a bot that is a group admin receives all messages. Making it an admin is the reliable way to have replies work.
  3. In @LivegramBot, open /mybots, choose the bot, and set the group as the destination chat.

Livegram supports connecting a separate chat or group where a team answers — this is the documented multi-admin, call-centre setup.

Step 3. Verify with a real test

Write to the bot from a second account. The message must appear in the group. Reply to it from a different team member's account, and confirm the answer reaches the user. Test with two different people, not just yourself — that is what proves the setup is genuinely shared.

How replies work in a group

  • Reply to the forwarded message → the answer goes to that user, from the bot.
  • Write a normal message in the group → it stays in the group. Nothing is sent to any user.

That second rule is a feature, not a limitation. It means the group doubles as a place to coordinate: "I'll take this one", "escalating to billing". Nothing leaks as long as you never wrap coordination inside a reply.

Practical tips for shift work

Claim before you answer. Two people replying to the same person is the classic failure of shared inboxes. Adopt one convention and enforce it: react to the message with an emoji when you pick it up, or post taking as a plain group message. Whichever you choose, it must be visible to everyone before the reply is written.

Hand over explicitly. At the end of a shift, post a short list of what is still open and what is waiting on someone else. "Nothing open" is also a valid handover — it is information.

Pin the rules in the group. A pinned message with your reply conventions, tone rules and escalation path costs five minutes and saves every new hire an hour.

Use one clear closing line. Something like "Anything else I can help with?" signals to your team that a conversation is done, without any status system.

Set expectations publicly. Put working hours in the bot's description via /setdescription in @BotFather. Most complaints about slow support are actually complaints about unclear expectations.

Watch group size. A support group of 20 people is not a team, it is an audience. Keep write access to the people who actually answer; everyone else can read a channel summary instead.

Managing access as the team changes

When someone leaves, remove them from the group the same day. Group membership is the permission to speak as your company — there is no separate revocation step.

Keep the bot's Livegram ownership with a role, not a person, where you can. If the bot is connected under one employee's personal Telegram account and that person leaves on bad terms, recovery is awkward. See the security guide for how to handle token rotation with /revoke.

When one bot is not enough

If you run several products or brands, do not funnel them into one group and sort by hand. Livegram lets you manage several bots from one account — create a bot per brand, point each at its own group, and the routing is done for you.

Key takeaways

  • Create a dedicated group, add your bot, make it an administrator, and set that group as the destination in /mybots.
  • Admin rights matter: a bot that is a group admin receives all messages, regardless of privacy mode.
  • Replies must be Telegram replies. Ordinary group messages stay internal — use them for coordination.
  • Everyone in the group can speak as your brand. Curate membership like a permission list.
  • Agree on a claim convention (emoji reaction or taking) before volume makes collisions expensive.
  • Publish your working hours in the bot description; most "slow support" complaints are expectation problems.

How to add a "Suggest a post" box to your Telegram channel

Channels are one-way by design. A feedback bot turns your subscribers into a submission pipeline — tips, questions, confessions, photos — without opening comments to chaos.
4 min

Why channels need a submission box

A Telegram channel broadcasts. Subscribers cannot reply, and the discussion group attached to a channel is public by nature — great for conversation, useless for anything sensitive, anonymous or half-finished.

A submission bot solves a different problem. It gives every subscriber a private line to you: a story tip, a question for a Q&A post, a screenshot, a job listing, a confession. You collect it in one place, you decide what gets published, and the sender never sees your personal account.

This is the same feedback-bot setup as any support bot — only the framing changes.

Step 1. Create the submission bot

Follow the standard flow: /newbot in @BotFather → copy the token → /addbot in @LivegramBot → paste. Full detail is in the five-minute setup guide.

Name it for the job, not for your brand. AcmeSuggestBot reads as an invitation; AcmeBot reads as customer service. The username is effectively permanent, so decide before you send it.

Step 2. Write the description as a brief

This is the step most channel owners skip, and it is the one that determines submission quality. In @BotFather use /setdescription — the text shown above the Start button in an empty chat — and treat it as a short editorial brief:

Send us your tip. Include what happened, when, and a screenshot if you have one. We publish anonymously by default and never share your username. Replies within 48 hours.

Four things a good brief always covers:

  1. What you want. Tips? Questions? Photos? Be concrete.
  2. What format. "One paragraph plus a screenshot" beats silence.
  3. Anonymity policy. Will you name the sender? Say so explicitly.
  4. Response expectations. Even "we read everything but only reply if we publish it" is better than nothing.

Add /setabouttext for the one-line version shown on the bot's profile, and /setuserpic for an avatar that matches your channel.

Step 3. Put the link where subscribers actually are

Order of effectiveness, roughly:

  1. A pinned post in the channel that explains the box in two sentences and links to the bot. Refresh it every few months so new subscribers see it.
  2. The channel description, which every new subscriber reads before joining.
  3. A recurring footer on relevant posts: "Got a tip? → @AcmeSuggestBot".
  4. A button. If your posts are sent through a tool that supports inline buttons, a "Suggest a post" button outperforms a text link.

Do not only announce it once. Submission volume tracks how recently you asked.

Step 4. Set up triage before the first submission arrives

Submissions arrive as ordinary forwarded messages: text, photos, videos, voice notes, files, stickers. If your channel has more than one editor, connect a group chat as the destination so the whole editorial team sees the queue (see the support-team guide).

A workable triage habit for a two-person channel:

  1. Read everything the same day. Do not let the queue become an archaeology project.
  2. Reply to anything usable within 24 hours, even if publication is weeks away. Contributors who hear nothing stop contributing.
  3. Use a reply to ask follow-up questions — "when did this happen?", "can we quote you?" — directly in the thread.
  4. Keep a running list of accepted submissions somewhere outside Telegram. The bot is an inbox, not an editorial calendar.

Anonymity: be precise, not vague

Livegram hides your account from the sender. It does not hide the sender from you — you see who wrote, because that is how you reply.

So if you promise anonymity, you are promising editorial anonymity: you know who they are, and you will not publish it. Say exactly that. Vague promises of "full anonymity" are the kind of thing that damages trust when a subscriber works out how it actually functions.

If a submission is genuinely sensitive, consider deleting your copy after publication. Livegram stores no message content of its own — the only thing kept on its side is the bot owner's account ID — but the forwarded copy in your admin chat is a normal Telegram message, and managing it is on you.

Step 5. Close the loop publicly

The single strongest driver of repeat submissions is visible proof that submissions get used. Credit contributors when they allow it ("via a subscriber"), and post occasionally about what came in. A channel that says "this week's post came from a reader tip" gets more tips next week.

Once you have a base of people who wrote to the bot, you can also broadcast to them — for example, a themed call for submissions. Do it sparingly and read the broadcast guide first.

Key takeaways

  • A submission bot gives subscribers a private line without opening public comments.
  • Name the bot for the action (...SuggestBot), and write /setdescription as an editorial brief: what, what format, anonymity, response time.
  • Pinned post + channel description + a recurring footer link. Announce repeatedly, not once.
  • Connect a group chat if more than one editor handles the queue.
  • Be precise about anonymity: you see the sender; you promise not to publish them.
  • Publicly credit and reference submissions — visible use is what generates the next wave.

Running customer support in Telegram — a practical playbook

Templates, triage, tone and the mistakes that quietly cost you customers — plus honest signposts for when a feedback bot is no longer the right tool.
5 min

Why Telegram support behaves differently

Telegram support is not email support in a smaller window. Three properties change how you should work:

  • It feels synchronous. Users see delivery and read state and expect chat-speed answers, even if your policy says 24 hours.
  • It is informal. People write in fragments, send screenshots without context, and follow up before you have read the first message.
  • There is no ticket ID. The conversation is the ticket. Threading is what your team does with reply, not something the system enforces.

Everything below follows from those three facts.

Set expectations before the first message

The cheapest support improvement available to you is the bot description. Use /setdescription in @BotFather:

Support for Acme. We reply Mon–Fri, 9:00–18:00 CET, usually within 4 hours. For urgent order issues include your order number.

You have now converted "why is nobody answering" into "they answer tomorrow morning" — same speed, entirely different customer experience.

Triage: sort before you solve

When more than a handful of messages arrive daily, answer in priority order rather than arrival order. A simple three-bucket model:

  1. Broken and blocking. Payment failed, access lost, data missing. Answer first, always, even with a holding message.
  2. Question. Someone wants to know how something works. Answer within your stated window.
  3. Feedback and requests. No answer needed today. Acknowledge, record, move on.

A one-line acknowledgement on a bucket-1 message within minutes buys you hours of patience. Silence does the opposite.

Think in templates, not scripts

Templates save time. Scripts destroy trust. The difference is that a template is a skeleton you finish, and a script is a wall of text you paste unchanged.

Keep your templates in a pinned message in the team group and structure each one the same way:

  • Acknowledgement: "Thanks — I can see the failed payment on your order."
  • What you know: the specific fact you have verified.
  • What happens next, with a time: "I'm passing this to billing now; you'll hear back by tomorrow midday."
  • One clear question, if you need something: never two questions in one message; you will get one answer.

Five to eight templates cover most of the volume in a small operation: cannot log in, payment failed, where is my order, how do I do X, feature request, bug report, refund request, out-of-hours auto-reply.

Tone: calm, specific, human

Rules that hold up under pressure:

  • Answer the question in the first sentence. Context afterwards. Users read the first line and stop.
  • Use their words. If they say "the app crashed", do not reply about "the client experiencing an unexpected termination".
  • Never argue about tone. An angry customer is describing a problem badly, not attacking you. Respond to the problem.
  • Apologise once, concretely. "Sorry — that shouldn't have happened, and here's what I'm doing about it." Repeated apologies read as evasion.
  • Do not over-promise. "I'll check and come back to you today" that you keep beats "fixing it right now" that you do not.
  • Match effort to stakes. A one-line question deserves a one-line answer. Padding a simple reply wastes both people's time.

Common pitfalls

Replying without using Reply. In Livegram a reply must be an actual Telegram reply to the forwarded message. A message typed loosely into the chat does not reach the user. This is the number-one cause of "we answered and they say we didn't".

One inbox, no ownership. With several people in the group, every message needs a visible owner. Emoji reaction or a taking message — pick one and be consistent.

Answering out of hours by accident. If someone replies at 23:00 once, users learn that 23:00 works. Either it is your policy or it is not.

Losing the follow-up. Anything you promise to come back on must leave Telegram and enter something with a due date. The bot is an inbox; it is not a task manager.

Treating feedback as noise. Repeated feature requests are your roadmap arriving for free. Log them somewhere countable.

Forgetting where the record lives. Messages stay in your Telegram admin chat — that chat is your archive. Livegram stores no message content on its side. If a conversation matters for a dispute or a case study, your chat copy is the one to keep.

Measure three things, not fifteen

Livegram provides basic analytics — the number of users and messages. That plus two numbers you can count by hand is enough for a small team:

  • Volume trend. Rising message counts with flat user growth usually means a product problem, not a support problem.
  • First-response time. The only speed metric users actually feel.
  • Repeat contacts. The same person writing three times about one issue means the first answer failed.

When you outgrow a feedback bot

Be honest about the ceiling. A feedback bot is excellent up to roughly the point where all of the following are still true: one queue, a few agents, no formal SLA, no compliance obligation to retain history, and no need to know who handled what.

Consider a dedicated help desk when you hit any of these:

  • You need assignment and status — who owns this, is it open or closed.
  • You need structured history and exports, for disputes, audits or regulation.
  • You need SLA reporting you can show to a client or a board.
  • You need multiple channels in one queue — email, web chat and Telegram together.
  • You need per-agent metrics for a team large enough that individual load matters.
  • You need canned replies, tagging and search across thousands of past conversations.

None of these are failures of the bot; they are a different product category. Many teams keep the Telegram bot as the front door and connect it to a desk behind the scenes.

Key takeaways

  • Publish your hours and response window in the bot description; expectation gaps cause most complaints.
  • Triage into blocking / question / feedback, and acknowledge blocking issues within minutes.
  • Templates are skeletons: acknowledgement, what you know, next step with a time, one question.
  • Answer in the first sentence, use the customer's own words, apologise once and concretely.
  • Always use Telegram's Reply; loose messages never reach the user.
  • Track volume trend, first-response time and repeat contacts. Ignore the rest.
  • Outgrow the bot when you need assignment, structured history and exports, SLA reporting or multi-channel queues.

Broadcasts done right — how to message your bot users without getting blocked

A broadcast is the most powerful and most easily abused feature in a feedback bot. Here is how to use it so people keep reading instead of pressing Block.
5 min

What a broadcast actually is

Livegram lets you send a message to everyone who has written to your bot. That is a genuinely valuable list: these are people who contacted you voluntarily, in a private one-to-one chat, with notifications on.

It is also the most fragile asset you own. A channel subscriber who dislikes a post scrolls past. A bot user who dislikes a broadcast presses Block, and they are gone permanently — you cannot message them again, ever, and there is no re-subscribe flow.

Treat every broadcast as a withdrawal from an account you cannot easily refill.

The consent question

People wrote to your bot to ask a question. Unless you told them otherwise, they did not sign up for a newsletter. Legally this varies by jurisdiction; practically the rule is simple: your broadcasts must be things this specific audience would have asked for.

The clean approach is to say so up front. Put a line in your bot description via /setdescription:

We occasionally send service updates here (a few times a year). Send /stop to opt out.

You have now converted an assumption into a disclosure, at zero cost.

Note that Livegram's acceptable use explicitly prohibits spam, phishing and collecting personal data without consent. This is not just etiquette — sending unwanted bulk messages is a policy violation on both Livegram's side and Telegram's.

Frequency: less than you think

There is no universal number, but useful anchors:

  • Service and transactional messages — as often as needed. "Your order shipped" is never spam.
  • Product or content announcements — monthly at most for a small audience.
  • Anything promotional — a few times a year, and only when it is genuinely relevant.

A rough test: if you cannot name the specific benefit to the reader in one sentence, it is not ready to send. "We wanted to update you on our journey" is not a benefit.

Watch what happens after each send. If your user count drops noticeably after a broadcast, that is your audience telling you the frequency or the content was wrong. Livegram's basic analytics show user and message counts — check them before and after.

Relevance beats reach

The instinct is to send everything to everyone because the list is right there. Resist it.

If you run several bots for several products, broadcast per bot — that is exactly why multi-bot management exists. Someone who wrote to your support bot about a refund does not want your new-podcast announcement.

If you cannot segment, that is itself an argument for sending less. A message relevant to 20% of the list annoys the other 80%, and 80% of your audience is a large number of Block buttons.

Respect opt-outs, immediately and permanently

Two kinds of opt-out exist, and both are binding.

Explicit. Someone replies "stop", "unsubscribe", "don't message me". Honour it on the spot and say so in one short line: "Done — you won't get announcements from us. You can still write here any time if you need help."

Silent. Someone blocks the bot. Telegram then rejects any send to that user with a 403 Forbidden: bot was blocked by the user error. There is nothing to fix and nothing to work around — a block is a permanent, deliberate decision, and attempting to reach that person another way is the behaviour that gets bots reported.

Telegram's technical limits

Broadcasting is rate-limited by Telegram itself, not by Livegram:

  • Roughly 30 messages per second across different chats for a normal bot.
  • No more than one message per second to the same chat.
  • In groups, about 20 messages per minute.
  • Exceed the limits and Telegram returns 429 Too Many Requests and pauses your bot — a short pause first, a longer one on repeat.

In practice Livegram handles the pacing for you, which is why a broadcast to a large audience delivers gradually rather than instantly. A list of 100,000 users takes roughly an hour at the standard rate. Do not interpret slow delivery as a failure and re-send — a duplicate broadcast is far more damaging than a slow one.

Telegram also offers a paid broadcast option in @BotFather that raises the ceiling to about 1,000 messages per second, charged in Telegram Stars per message above the free 30/second.

A pre-send checklist

Before you press send, five checks:

  1. Would I be glad to receive this? Answer honestly, imagining you are busy.
  2. Is the first line the whole message? Notification previews are short. Front-load.
  3. Is there exactly one action? One link, one ask. Two actions means neither happens.
  4. Have I sent it to myself first? Formatting, links and media break in ways that are only visible in the real client.
  5. Is the timing right for the audience's timezone? A 03:00 notification is remembered for the wrong reason.

Writing the message

Keep it short enough to read in a notification. Say what it is, why it matters to them, and what to do — in that order. Sign off in a way that keeps the channel two-way: "Reply here if you have questions" reminds people this is a conversation, not a megaphone, and it is the line that makes the next broadcast welcome.

Key takeaways

  • Bot users are a private, permission-adjacent audience. A block is permanent and unrecoverable.
  • Disclose your broadcast policy in the bot description before you ever use it.
  • Service messages freely; announcements monthly at most; promotions a few times a year.
  • Segment by bot rather than blasting one list, and when you cannot segment, send less.
  • Honour explicit opt-outs immediately; a 403 block is final — never route around it.
  • Telegram limits: ~30 msg/s across chats, 1 msg/s per chat, ~20/min in groups; 429 means slow down.
  • Slow delivery is normal pacing, not a failure. Never re-send a broadcast.

Livegram Pro explained — what changes when you upgrade

Pro is a small, clearly-scoped subscription: it removes ads and the Livegram label from every bot you run. Here is exactly what you get, what it costs, and who should bother.
4 min

Why there is anything to remove

Livegram is free — bot creation, message forwarding, multiple admins, broadcasts and analytics all cost nothing. That is funded by advertising: Livegram sells ad placements to its own audience, and in return the free tier shows ads and carries a small attribution label.

Pro is the alternative funding route. You pay a subscription instead of being advertised to, and both the ads and the label disappear.

What Pro actually changes

Three things, all described in the bot's own wording:

1. Ads are switched off inside @LivegramBot. Your own working interface — the place where you read and answer messages — stops showing promotions.

2. The copyright label is removed. In the free version, your bot carries "This bot was created with @LivegramBot". Pro removes it. For anyone using a bot as a customer-facing brand surface, this is usually the reason to upgrade: the bot reads as your product rather than as someone else's platform.

3. Ads are switched off in all your connected bots — for all of their users. This is the part people underestimate. Pro is an account-level subscription, not a per-bot one. Whether you run one bot or fifteen, a single Pro subscription clears ads across all of them, and the people writing to your bots stop seeing ads too.

That last point is worth restating plainly: your users' experience changes, not just yours. A subscriber writing to your support bot on the free tier may see Livegram advertising; on Pro they see only you.

What Pro does not change

Pro is a presentation-layer upgrade. It does not add message capacity, extra admin features, longer retention, priority routing or an SLA. Everything functional is already free.

Specifically:

  • Data handling is identical on both tiers: no message content stored, conversations live in your Telegram chats.
  • Telegram's own rate limits still apply to broadcasts.
  • Multiple admins, multi-bot management, broadcasts and analytics are free features, not Pro features.

If you are considering Pro hoping it unlocks a capability, check the free feature list first — it very probably already includes what you need.

Pricing

Period Price (₽) Price ($) Effective per month
1 month 250 ₽ · 220 ⭐ $2.92 $2.92
3 months 625 ₽ · 550 ⭐ $7.30 ~$2.43
6 months 1,125 ₽ · 990 ⭐ $13.14 ~$2.19
12 months 2,000 ₽ · 1,760 ⭐ $23.36 ~$1.95

The longer commitments are meaningfully cheaper — twelve months costs roughly two-thirds of what twelve monthly renewals would. If your bot is part of a business you expect to still be running next year, the annual tier is the obvious choice. If you are trialling, start monthly.

How to pay

Open @LivegramBot and send /pro to see the current tiers and start a purchase.

Available methods:

  • Credit card — standard bank card payment.
  • Telegram Stars — Telegram's in-app currency, paid without leaving the app. Convenient if you already hold a Stars balance.
  • Through the website — orders placed on livegram.io are processed by Whop. This is the route to use if you prefer paying from a browser; a receipt is emailed after every successful payment.

The service is operated by "Krionit Lab" LLC, registered in the Kyrgyz Republic. Livegram is an independent service and is not affiliated with Telegram FZ-LLC.

Who Pro is for

Worth it if:

  • Your bot is customer-facing under a brand name, and third-party attribution or ads look unprofessional.
  • You run several bots — one subscription covers all of them, so the per-bot cost drops fast.
  • Your bot is part of a paid product or a client deliverable, where the platform label raises awkward questions.
  • Your audience is large enough that ads shown to them represent a real distraction from your message.

Probably not worth it if:

  • Your bot is personal, internal or experimental.
  • You are still deciding whether the bot is the right tool at all — the free tier is fully functional; use it until the label actually bothers you.
  • You are hoping to unlock features. Everything functional is already free.

A reasonable heuristic: at around $2/month on the annual tier, Pro pays for itself the moment the bot touches a paying customer. Below that threshold, stay free without guilt — the free tier is the product, not a crippled demo.

Key takeaways

  • Pro removes ads inside @LivegramBot, removes the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label, and removes ads from all your connected bots for all their users.
  • It is account-level: one subscription covers every bot you run.
  • It adds no functional capability — admins, broadcasts, analytics and multi-bot are free.
  • Tiers: 250 ₽ / $2.92 / 220 ⭐ monthly up to 2,000 ₽ / $23.36 / 1,760 ⭐ annually (~$1.95/month). Prices are regional — the exact amount for your country is shown in the bot before payment.
  • Pay by card, Telegram Stars, or on the website (payments processed by Whop).
  • Upgrade when the bot is customer-facing or you run several bots; otherwise the free tier is genuinely enough.

Bot security and privacy basics for owners

Your token is a password, your admin group is an access list, and your users deserve to know what happens to their messages. Twenty minutes of hygiene prevents most incidents.
5 min

The one thing that matters most: your token

When @BotFather created your bot, it gave you a token — a long string with a colon in it. That token is the bot. Anyone holding it can read every incoming message, send messages as your bot to your entire audience, and change the bot's behaviour. There is no second factor and no per-action confirmation.

Rules that follow directly:

  • Never paste a token into a group chat, shared document, support ticket, public repository or screenshot. Tokens leak from screenshots more often than from hacks — check the frame before sharing anything showing a BotFather conversation.
  • Send it exactly once: from BotFather to @LivegramBot, via /addbot. Delete the message afterwards where you can.
  • Never enter a token into a third-party site you have no specific reason to trust. "Bot analytics" and "bot enhancer" services that ask for your token are asking for full control of your bot.

If a token leaks: open @BotFather, select the bot, and use /revoke. This invalidates the old token immediately and issues a new one. The old one stops working the same second — which also means your Livegram connection breaks and you must reconnect with the new token via /addbot. Revoke first, reconnect second; do not delay revocation to avoid downtime.

Admin hygiene

Everyone in your bot's admin group can send messages to your users as your brand. That is a real permission, and it should be managed like one.

  • Review membership monthly. Five minutes, on the first of the month.
  • Remove leavers the same day. Group membership is the permission; there is nothing else to revoke.
  • Do not reuse a general team chat as the inbox. Internal discussion in the same window as customer messages is how a private comment eventually reaches a customer.
  • Keep the bot itself as group admin so replies work reliably — but do not grant it rights it does not need.
  • Think about the owner account. The Telegram account that connected the bot in Livegram is the account that controls it. If that is one employee's personal account, you have a single point of failure. Where possible, use an account the organisation controls, and make sure at least two trusted people can reach it.
  • Secure the accounts, not just the bot. Every admin should have two-step verification enabled in Telegram and a strong cloud password. A compromised admin account is a compromised bot.

What data exists, and where

Be clear-eyed about the layers:

In Telegram. The conversation between your user and your bot lives in Telegram's infrastructure under Telegram's own policies. Neither you nor Livegram controls that layer.

In Livegram. Messages pass through Livegram purely as a proxy: they travel between people inside Telegram, and Livegram only relays them. The operator does not read the content of conversations, and content is not stored outside Telegram. The only thing Livegram keeps is the bot owner's Telegram ID — for authorization and account management.

In your group chat. This is the copy you actually control — and the one people forget. Anything forwarded into your admin group stays in that group's history under Telegram's normal rules, independent of Livegram's 30-day deletion. If a user sends a document, a photo of an ID, or anything sensitive, that content is sitting in a group chat that several people can scroll through indefinitely.

Anywhere you copied it. Screenshots in Slack, exported chats, pasted quotes in a bug tracker. This is where most real leaks happen.

The practical implication: the 30-day auto-deletion protects the routing layer, not your operational copies. If you want data gone, delete it in your own group too.

What you must tell your own users

If you run a bot that collects messages from the public, you are a data controller in the eyes of most privacy regimes, whatever the scale. You do not need a legal department, but you do need to be able to answer four questions.

  1. Who is collecting this? Your organisation's name — not just a bot handle.
  2. What happens to messages? Who reads them, roughly how many people, and what they are used for.
  3. How long are they kept? Say something true. "Routed through Livegram, which stores no message content — only the bot owner's account ID; our team's copy in Telegram is kept for up to X."
  4. How does someone reach you or ask for deletion? An email address is enough.

Put a short version in the bot description via /setdescription, and link a fuller privacy note if you have a website. Two sentences done honestly beat a template policy nobody read.

Do not collect what you do not need. If your bot is a support channel, you do not need ID photos, card numbers or passwords, and you should say so explicitly in the description: "Never send passwords or card details here." Users will otherwise send them, and then the sensitive data is your problem.

Things not to do

  • Do not ask users for credentials. Not passwords, not card numbers, not one-time codes. If someone sends one anyway, tell them to change it and delete the message.
  • Do not use the bot for unsolicited bulk messaging. Spam, phishing, prohibited goods, fraud, collecting personal data without consent and distributing malware are all explicitly prohibited uses.
  • Do not impersonate. A bot named to look like an official channel of a company you do not represent is both a policy violation and a fast route to being reported.
  • Do not promise anonymity you cannot deliver. Livegram hides your account from the user. It does not hide the user from you. Say precisely what you mean.

A twenty-minute hardening pass

  1. Confirm the token has never left the BotFather → Livegram path. If unsure, /revoke and reconnect.
  2. Enable two-step verification on every admin's Telegram account.
  3. Audit admin group membership; remove anyone who no longer answers messages.
  4. Confirm the inbox group is dedicated, not a repurposed team chat.
  5. Write two honest sentences about data into /setdescription, including "never send passwords or card details here".
  6. Note who owns the Livegram-connected account, and make sure a second trusted person can reach it.

Key takeaways

  • The token equals full control of your bot. Never share it; /revoke in @BotFather the moment you suspect exposure, then reconnect with /addbot.
  • Admin group membership is the permission to speak as your brand. Audit monthly, remove leavers same-day.
  • Livegram is a pure proxy: it does not read message content and stores nothing on its side except the bot owner's Telegram ID — your group chat copy is yours to manage.
  • Tell users who you are, who reads messages, how long you keep them, and how to reach you.
  • Explicitly tell users never to send passwords or card details.
  • Enable two-step verification on every admin account; the bot is only as safe as the accounts around it.

Troubleshooting — the 12 most common Livegram problems and how to fix them

Problem, cause, fix. The twelve issues that account for nearly all support requests, in the order they usually occur.
7 min

Work through these in order. Most "the bot is broken" reports resolve at problem 1, 2 or 4.

1. The bot does not respond at all

Symptom. You open your bot, press Start, and nothing happens. No welcome, no reaction.

Cause. Usually the bot was never successfully connected, or it was disconnected. Occasionally the token was pasted incompletely.

Fix.

  1. Open @LivegramBot and send /mybots. If your bot is not in the list, it is not connected — reconnect with /addbot and paste the full token from @BotFather.
  2. If it is in the list, check you are testing the right bot. Owners with several bots routinely test the wrong username.
  3. Check Telegram itself is working: send yourself a message. A platform outage looks exactly like a broken bot.

2. "Invalid token" when adding a bot

Symptom. /addbot rejects the token.

Cause. An incomplete copy (missing the digits before the colon), stray whitespace or a line break, a token that was already revoked, or a token from a different bot.

Fix.

  1. In @BotFather, send /mybots, choose the bot, and open API Token. Tap the token to copy it cleanly rather than selecting by hand.
  2. Paste it as a fresh message with nothing else in it — no quotes, no "here is my token:".
  3. If it still fails, /revoke in @BotFather to issue a new token and try that one.
  4. Confirm you used the real @BotFather (blue verified badge). Impostors issue strings that are not valid Telegram tokens.

3. Messages from users are not arriving

Symptom. Someone says they wrote; you see nothing.

Cause. Wrong destination chat, a group setup problem, or you are looking in the wrong place.

Fix.

  1. Test yourself from a second account. If your own test arrives, the reported message probably went to a different bot.
  2. If the destination is a group: confirm your bot (not @LivegramBot) is in that group and is an administrator. A bot that is a group admin receives all messages; without admin rights, Telegram's default privacy mode restricts what it sees.
  3. If you recently changed the bot's admin status, remove and re-add the bot to the group — some privacy-mode changes only take effect on re-adding.
  4. Check the destination setting in /mybots.

4. Your replies never reach the user

Symptom. You type an answer; the user insists they got nothing.

Cause. You did not use Telegram's Reply function. This is the single most common Livegram problem.

Fix.

  1. Find the specific forwarded message from that user.
  2. Swipe left on it (mobile) or right-click → Reply (desktop).
  3. Type your answer inside that reply and send.

A message typed into the chat without being a reply is not routed to anyone. If you have a team, put this rule in the group's pinned message — it is the first thing every new team member gets wrong.

5. The user blocked the bot

Symptom. Replies to one specific person stop working while everyone else is fine.

Cause. That person blocked your bot. Telegram returns 403 Forbidden: bot was blocked by the user.

Fix. There is no fix, and that is correct behaviour. A block is a deliberate decision and Telegram enforces it absolutely — the bot cannot message that user again unless they unblock it themselves. Do not attempt to reach them through another bot or account; that is the behaviour that gets bots reported. If they are a customer you genuinely need to reach, use a channel they chose, such as email.

6. Messages arrive but replies go to the wrong person

Symptom. A user receives an answer meant for someone else.

Cause. Someone replied to the wrong forwarded message, or replied to their own team member's message instead of the user's.

Fix. Reply only to the forwarded user message itself — never to a colleague's comment about it. In a busy group, always scroll to the original before replying rather than using the newest visible message. Adopt a claim convention (an emoji reaction on the message you are handling) so two people never work the same thread.

7. You lost access to the bot

Symptom. You can no longer manage the bot — the account that set it up is unavailable, or an ex-colleague controls it.

Cause. Bot ownership sits with the Telegram account that created it in @BotFather, and Livegram management sits with the account that connected it.

Fix.

  1. If you still control the @BotFather account: /revoke to issue a new token. The old one stops working instantly, cutting off any existing connection. Then reconnect under your own Livegram account with /addbot.
  2. If you no longer control the @BotFather account, the bot cannot be recovered — BotFather ownership is the root of trust. Create a new bot and migrate your audience by announcing the new link everywhere you can.
  3. Prevention: keep bots under an organisational account, and make sure at least two trusted people can access it.

8. You need to change the bot's name or avatar

Symptom. Rebranding, or the placeholder name you set in a hurry.

Cause. These are Telegram-level settings, not Livegram settings.

Fix. In @BotFather:

  • /setname — the display name shown at the top of the chat. Changeable freely.
  • /setuserpic — the avatar.
  • /setabouttext — the line on the bot's profile page.
  • /setdescription — the text above the Start button in an empty chat.

The username (@YourBot) is the exception: it is effectively permanent. Changing it, where possible at all, breaks every link you have ever published. If you must, create a new bot and run both in parallel while you migrate.

9. A broadcast is delivering very slowly

Symptom. You sent to thousands of users and it is taking a long time.

Cause. Telegram's rate limits, not a Livegram problem. Bots are limited to roughly 30 messages per second across chats, one per second to any single chat, and about 20 per minute in groups.

Fix. Wait. Delivery is paced deliberately to avoid 429 Too Many Requests, which pauses your bot — 30 seconds the first time, longer on repeat. Never re-send a broadcast you think stalled. A duplicate message is far more damaging than a slow one, and doubles the block rate.

10. Some broadcast recipients never got the message

Symptom. Delivered count is lower than your user count.

Cause. Those users blocked the bot, deleted their account, or were deactivated. Telegram rejects those sends.

Fix. Nothing to fix. A gap between total users and delivered messages is normal and expected — every list has attrition. A growing gap after each send is a signal that your broadcasts are unwelcome: reduce frequency and improve relevance before the next one.

11. Ads or the "created with @LivegramBot" label appear in your bot

Symptom. Your customer-facing bot shows advertising or third-party attribution.

Cause. This is the free tier working as designed — Livegram is ad-funded.

Fix. Send /pro in @LivegramBot. Pro removes ads inside @LivegramBot, removes the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label, and removes ads from all your connected bots for all of their users. It is account-level, so one subscription covers every bot you run. Payment is by card, Telegram Stars, or on the website.

12. Old conversations have disappeared

Symptom. History you expected to find is gone.

Cause. Livegram does not store conversations, so there is no server-side history to consult — the record is your admin chat, which follows Telegram's normal rules. If messages are missing there, they were deleted in Telegram itself.

Fix. Check your admin chat and Telegram's search first — the forwarded messages stay there like any other Telegram messages, and that chat is your archive. For disputes or legal records, treat the admin chat as the copy that persists, and save anything critical out of it at the time.

Still stuck?

Write to our support bot @LivegramSupportBot, and use /help in @LivegramBot for the built-in reference. When you write in, include: your bot's username, what you did, what you expected, what happened instead, and whether a second account reproduces it. Never include your token.

Key takeaways

  • Most problems are one of two things: the bot is not connected (/mybots to check), or you did not use Telegram's Reply.
  • For group inboxes, your bot must be in the group as an administrator; re-add it after changing that.
  • /revoke in @BotFather is the emergency stop — it kills a leaked token and any hijacked connection instantly.
  • A 403 block is permanent and correct. Do not route around it.
  • Slow broadcasts are Telegram's rate limits at work. Never re-send.
  • Display name, avatar, about and description are changeable in @BotFather; the username is not.
  • Livegram keeps no server-side history — your admin chat is the archive; save anything critical from there.
  • /feedback reaches Livegram support; /help is the built-in reference. Never send your token to anyone.

Frequently asked questions

123 answers about building, running and paying for a Livegram bot.

Getting started

What is Livegram?

Livegram is a no-code feedback bot builder for Telegram. You create your own bot with @BotFather, connect it to Livegram, and it becomes a two-way channel between you and your audience: people write to your bot, their messages arrive in your admin chat, and your reply goes back to them from the bot. Your personal Telegram account is never shown to the people writing in.

How do I create my first bot?

Open @LivegramBot and press Start, then send /addbot. Livegram will ask for a bot token — get one from @BotFather with the /newbot command, then paste the token back into Livegram. Once the token is accepted, your bot is live and ready to receive messages.

What exactly is @BotFather and why do I need it?

@BotFather is Telegram's own official bot for registering bots. Every Telegram bot in existence — including yours — must be created there, because only Telegram can issue a bot account and its API token. Livegram cannot create the bot for you; it can only run a bot you already registered.

What is a bot token and where do I find it?

A token is the long string @BotFather gives you right after you create a bot, in the format 123456789:AAE.... It is the password to your bot — anyone holding it can control the bot completely. If you lose it, open @BotFather, send /mybots, pick your bot and choose API Token. A bot has exactly one valid token at a time: generating a new one with /token instantly invalidates the old one.

What are the rules for my bot's name and username?

The name is the display name and can be almost anything, including spaces and non-Latin characters. The username is the @handle, must be 5–32 characters, may contain only Latin letters, digits and underscores, and must end in bot (for example MyShopSupportBot). Usernames are globally unique, so popular ones are usually taken.

How long does setup take?

Under five minutes in practice. The slowest part is choosing a username that isn't already taken in @BotFather. Once the token is pasted into Livegram, the bot starts working immediately.

What should I do right after connecting the bot?

Open /mybots, select your bot, and use the Texts section to set the welcome message people see when they press Start — this is the single most important setting, because it tells visitors what your bot is for and what to send. Then share your bot's link (t.me/YourBotUsername) wherever your audience is: a channel description, a pinned post, your website, or your bio.

Do I need a server, hosting, or any coding?

No. Livegram hosts and runs the bot logic for you, so there is nothing to install, deploy, or maintain. Everything is configured from inside Telegram by chatting with @LivegramBot.

Do I have to pay to get started?

No. Creating and connecting bots, receiving and replying to messages, adding admins, broadcasts and analytics are all free. The optional Livegram Pro subscription only removes Livegram's own ads and the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label.

Where do I find help inside the bot?

Send /help in @LivegramBot for the built-in reference, and /feedback to reach the support team. For billing questions and formal requests, write to admin@livegram.io.

Using the bot day to day

How do messages from my users reach me?

When someone writes to your bot, Livegram forwards that message to your admin chat — either your private chat with @LivegramBot or the group you connected for your team. You will see the message together with the information you need to identify the sender.

How do I reply to someone?

Use Telegram's Reply function on the forwarded message and write your answer. Livegram sends your text back to that user from your bot. This is the whole workflow — there is no separate "answer" command to learn.

What happens if I just type a message instead of using Reply?

Nothing is delivered. Livegram routes each answer using the message you replied to, so without a reply it has no way to know which of your users you meant. Always tap Reply on the specific incoming message.

Which message types are supported?

Text, photos, videos, voice messages, files and stickers are all supported in both directions. You can reply with the same range of content, so sending a screenshot, a price list PDF or a voice note back to a customer works normally.

Can my users see who I am?

No. Replies are delivered by the bot, so your users see the bot's name and avatar, never your personal Telegram account, username, or phone number. This is the core reason most people use Livegram.

Can I see who wrote to me?

You see whatever Telegram exposes to any bot: the person's Telegram ID, first name, last name and username if they have one, plus their interface language. You do not see their phone number or email unless they deliberately share it in the conversation. If someone has no username set, the bot is the only way to reach them — you cannot message them directly.

Can I start a conversation with someone who has never written to my bot?

No, and this is a Telegram platform rule rather than a Livegram limitation. A bot can only message people who have pressed Start on it at least once. This is why broadcasts only reach people who have already written to your bot.

Can I customise the texts my users see?

Yes. Open /mybots, select the bot and use its Texts section to edit the welcome message shown when a user presses Start, along with the other interface texts your users see. Write it as a short, clear instruction — "Send us your question and we'll reply here" works better than a wall of text.

Does the bot work in a group or channel?

The bot itself is a one-to-one feedback channel: your audience writes to it privately. What you connect a group for is the admin side — that's where your team receives and answers messages. If you run a channel, put the bot's link in the channel description or a pinned post so subscribers know where to write.

Can I edit or delete a reply I already sent?

Telegram bots can edit and delete their own recent messages, but whether Livegram exposes this in the reply flow is not documented. `

Is there any automation, like auto-replies or working-hours messages?

Livegram's documented feature set covers the welcome message, forwarding, replies, broadcasts and analytics. Rule-based auto-responders, ticket assignment and business-hours messages are not documented features. `

Team and multiple admins

Can several people answer messages?

Yes. Connect a group chat as the admin destination and every member of that group sees incoming messages and can reply. This effectively turns your bot into a shared support inbox for a small team.

How do I connect a group chat?

Create a private group with your team, add your bot to it, and make the bot an administrator of that group. Then connect that chat in your bot's settings inside @LivegramBot so incoming messages are routed there instead of to you privately.

Why does the bot need to be an admin in the team group?

Telegram enables "privacy mode" on every bot by default, which hides most group messages from it — but bots added as administrators always receive all messages in that group. Admin rights are therefore what let your team's replies reliably reach the bot instead of being silently dropped.

I changed a setting in @BotFather but the group still behaves the same.

Telegram requires the bot to be removed from the group and added again before a privacy-mode change takes effect. If you toggled /setprivacy, re-add the bot to your team group and re-grant its admin rights.

How do we avoid two people answering the same person?

There is no built-in assignment or "claimed" status. Teams normally handle this with a simple convention — react to a message when you pick it up, or agree on a rota. For anything larger than a handful of agents this is the main thing Livegram will not do for you.

Can I limit what a teammate can do?

Whoever is in the connected group can read and answer messages. Account-level actions — connecting new bots, buying Pro, running broadcasts — stay with the Livegram account that owns the bot. There is no per-admin permission system. `

Can two Livegram accounts manage the same bot?

A bot belongs to the Livegram account that connected its token. Sharing the workload is done through the connected group chat, not by adding co-owners to the account.

What happens if I remove the group or the bot is removed from it?

Messages stop being delivered there, and your users' messages have nowhere to land. Reconnect a chat in /mybots as soon as possible — Telegram will not replay messages sent while the destination was broken.

Managing multiple bots

Can I run more than one bot from one account?

Yes. Livegram is built for this — send /addbot again with a different token, and manage everything from /mybots. Many people run one bot per project, brand, or language.

How do I switch between my bots?

Send /mybots and pick the bot you want from the list. Settings, texts, broadcasts and statistics are all per-bot.

Is there a limit on how many bots I can connect?

Livegram does not publish a per-account bot limit. Telegram's own limit on how many bots one account may register with @BotFather applies to you regardless of Livegram. `

If I buy Pro, does it cover all my bots?

Yes. Pro is bought per Livegram account and removes the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label and the ads from every bot you own on the platform, for all of their users.

Can I move a bot from one Livegram account to another?

Livegram has no built-in account-to-account transfer. In practice you disconnect the bot from the old account, generate a fresh token in @BotFather with /token, and connect that new token from the other account. Your subscribers keep the same bot and the same chat, but the message history and subscriber list held by the old Livegram account do not travel with it.

Can I hand my bot over to someone else entirely?

Yes, at the Telegram level: in @BotFather send /mybots, select the bot and choose Transfer Ownership. The bot, its username and its token stay the same — only the controlling Telegram account changes. Telegram warns that this gives the other person full control, including the ability to read the bot's messages and delete it, and it cannot be undone.

Do my bots share a subscriber list?

No. Each bot has its own audience — the people who pressed Start on that specific bot — and broadcasts go to one bot's audience at a time.

Broadcasts and messaging your users

What is a broadcast?

A broadcast sends one message to everyone who has ever written to your bot. It is the way to announce a new product, a schedule change, or a promotion to the audience you built through the bot.

Who receives a broadcast?

Only people who have pressed Start on your bot and have not blocked it. Telegram does not allow bots to message anyone else, so you cannot import a contact list or message people who found you elsewhere.

Can I target a broadcast rather than sending to everyone?

Yes, at least by interface language — Livegram keeps track of which language each user is on, so you can announce something to just your English or just your Russian audience. Some users also report an "every Nth user" option useful for A/B testing message wording. `

Can I send photos or files in a broadcast?

Broadcasts use the same message types the bot supports, so images and attachments work. Keep them light — a single clear image with a short caption performs better than a large file people have to download.

How fast is a broadcast delivered?

Delivery is paced to stay inside Telegram's limits, which allow a bot roughly 30 messages per second across all recipients. A list of a few thousand users takes a couple of minutes; ten thousand takes at least six. Telegram itself recommends spreading large broadcasts over several hours, so treat a broadcast as something that lands gradually rather than instantly.

Can I schedule a broadcast for later?

Scheduled broadcasts are not a documented Livegram feature. `

Can I cancel a broadcast once it has started?

Assume you cannot recall what has already been delivered — Telegram messages sent by a bot land immediately. Always send a test to yourself first by writing to your own bot from a second account.

How often should I broadcast?

Sparingly. Every broadcast that feels like spam costs you subscribers permanently, because blocking the bot is one tap and there is no way to reach that person again. Most successful bots broadcast no more than a few times a month.

Is broadcasting the same as spam?

No, as long as people opted in by writing to your bot and the content is relevant to why they subscribed. Sending unsolicited bulk messages, promotions to people who never asked, or anything phishing-related violates both Livegram's terms and Telegram's, and can get your bot removed.

Will I know how many people received it?

The exact per-broadcast delivery report shown by Livegram is not documented. `

Analytics and statistics

What statistics does Livegram show?

Basic but useful numbers: how many users your bot has and how many messages it is handling over time. This is enough to see whether your bot is growing and how heavy your support load is.

Where do I find the statistics?

Open /mybots, choose the bot, and open its statistics section. Figures are per-bot, not aggregated across your account.

Can I export my data or subscriber list?

Data export is not a documented Livegram feature. If you need portable records, your admin chat in Telegram already holds the conversation — save or forward what matters from there.

Why is my user count higher than the number of people who reply to broadcasts?

The user count includes everyone who ever pressed Start, including people who have since blocked the bot or lost interest. That gap is normal, and it widens over time on every bot.

Does Livegram track my users beyond Telegram?

No. Livegram works entirely inside Telegram and sees only what the Telegram Bot API provides. There is no tracking pixel, no cross-site profile, and no data sold to third parties.

Can I connect Livegram to a CRM or analytics tool?

There is no documented integration, API or webhook for third-party tools. `

Livegram Pro and billing

What does Livegram Pro actually give me?

Three things. It removes the ads shown inside @LivegramBot for you; it removes the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label from every bot you own; and it removes ads from all your connected bots, for all of their users. It does not add features — the free tier already includes the full bot-building and messaging feature set.

How much does Pro cost?
Period USD RUB
1 month $2.92 250 ₽ · 220 ⭐
3 months $7.30 625 ₽ · 550 ⭐
6 months $13.14 1125 ₽ · 990 ⭐
12 months $23.36 2000 ₽ · 1760 ⭐
The 12-month plan works out to roughly $1.94 per month, the cheapest per-month rate.
How do I buy Pro?

Send /pro in @LivegramBot and choose a period. You can also subscribe on livegram.io. Both routes activate the same subscription on your account.

What payment methods are accepted?

Credit or debit card and Telegram Stars inside the bot, and card payment on the website. Website orders are processed by Whop.

How does paying with Telegram Stars work?

Stars are Telegram's own in-app currency, bought through the App Store, Google Play or @PremiumBot, and used to pay for digital goods inside Telegram. Choosing Stars in /pro charges your Stars balance rather than a card. Note that Telegram treats the purchase of Stars themselves as final and does not refund them; anything refundable is handled by Livegram and returns to your Stars balance, not to your bank.

Who processes payments on the website?

Orders placed on livegram.io are processed by Whop, so your card statement and receipt may show the payment provider rather than Livegram or Krionit Lab. Purchases made inside @LivegramBot are paid by card or Telegram Stars.

Does Pro renew automatically?

Yes. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period using the payment method on file. You can turn auto-renewal off at any time.

How do I cancel?

Turn off auto-renewal in your Livegram account, or use the subscription-management link in your payment receipt email. Cancelling stops all future charges immediately and takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for.

What happens to my bots when Pro expires?

Nothing breaks. Your bots keep running exactly as before — the ads and the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label simply come back.

Can I get a refund?

Generally no. Livegram is a digital service activated instantly on payment, so a billing period that has already started is non-refundable, including when you did not use it. There are two exceptions: a payment-gateway error that charged you twice for the same period and account, and a confirmed outage of paid features lasting more than 48 continuous hours through Livegram's own fault.

How do I request a refund in one of those exceptional cases?

Email admin@livegram.io within seven calendar days of the problem occurring. Include the transaction ID and your payment receipt or order ID, plus a detailed description with screenshots. Support reviews the request within five working days; if approved, the money is credited back in three to ten working days.

I switched to a cheaper plan — do I get the difference back?

No. Downgrades are not prorated or compensated; the new price simply applies from the next billing cycle onwards.

What if I dispute the charge with my bank instead?

Don't. A chargeback filed without contacting support first is treated as a violation, and results in your account being permanently blocked, your bots deleted, and your payment details blacklisted. Contact admin@livegram.io first — genuine billing errors are the one case that does get refunded.

Do prices include VAT?

Any taxes applicable in your jurisdiction are added at checkout, so the final amount charged may differ from the listed price. The checkout shows the exact total before you confirm.

Is Pro per account or per bot?

Per account. One subscription covers every bot connected to that Livegram account, which is what makes it worthwhile if you run several bots.

What happens if I stop paying and stop using the service?

If a bot sits inactive or unpaid for 30 consecutive calendar days, Livegram reserves the right to disconnect that bot and delete its configuration from the service. Your Telegram chats — and the messages in them — are unaffected; reconnecting the bot later means setting it up again.

Advertising in the bot

Why do I see ads in Livegram?

Ads are what pay for the free tier. Livegram sells advertising placements to its own audience, and that revenue is why building and running a feedback bot costs nothing. Livegram Pro removes them.

Do my users see ads in my bot too?

Yes, on the free tier your users encounter Livegram's ads and the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label. Buying Pro with /pro removes both for every bot you own and everyone who uses them.

Can I advertise my own project in Livegram?

Yes. Send /ads in @LivegramBot to buy a placement. Livegram has an audience of roughly 6 million users cumulatively, so it is a realistic channel for reaching Telegram bot owners and channel admins.

How much does advertising cost and how do I book it?

Pricing, formats and available slots are quoted through the /ads flow inside the bot, since rates depend on the placement and volume you want. Start there rather than relying on third-party resale listings, which may be out of date.

Can I sell my own ads to my bot's users?

Your bot, your audience, your rules — Livegram does not take a cut of what you do with your own subscribers. You remain fully responsible for the legality of whatever you promote, and Livegram's prohibited-content rules still apply.

Can I choose which ads appear in my bot?

No. Ad selection is managed by Livegram. If you need full control over what your users see, Pro removes the ads entirely.

Privacy, data and security

Does Livegram read the messages sent through my bot?

No. Livegram works purely as a proxy: messages travel between people inside Telegram, and Livegram simply relays them from one chat to the other. Content is forwarded automatically by software and is not collected, viewed, analysed or stored for review by any employee. The conversation itself lives in Telegram — in the user's chat with your bot and in your admin chat — and nowhere else.

What data does Livegram actually store about me?

The bot owner's Telegram ID — that is what authorization and account management run on — plus the technical configuration of your connected bots, such as the token you provide via /addbot so the service can operate them. Message content is not stored: conversations live in Telegram and nowhere else.

How long is message history kept?

The messages themselves stay where Telegram put them — in the user's chat with your bot and in your admin chat — for as long as those chats exist. Livegram does not store message history at all: the only thing kept on its side is the bot owner's Telegram ID, used for authorization and account management. Your own Telegram chat is the record.

Who is legally responsible for my subscribers' data?

You are. As the person who created and runs the bot, you are the data controller for your end subscribers and are solely responsible for obtaining their consent to process their data. Livegram acts only as a technical processor working within the settings you configure.

Is my personal Telegram account really hidden?

Yes. Everything your users see comes from the bot — the bot's name, the bot's avatar, the bot's messages. Your account, username and phone number are never exposed to them by the service.

Can my users be identified by me?

You see what any Telegram bot sees: their Telegram ID, first name, last name and username if set. You never receive their phone number or email unless they deliberately share it in the chat.

Is my bot token safe?

Livegram stores your token because it needs it to run your bot, and protects it with encrypted transport, restricted internal database access and security monitoring. Treat the token as a password on your side too: never paste it into unknown services, and revoke it in @BotFather if you suspect it leaked.

Is Livegram GDPR compliant?

Livegram is operated by "Krionit Lab" LLC under the laws of the Kyrgyz Republic and states that it follows international data-protection standards. Full GDPR adequacy status is not claimed in the published policy. `

Does Livegram share data with anyone?

Personal information is not sold, exchanged or given to third parties for marketing. Two exceptions exist: payment data handled independently by the payment provider, and disclosures to Kyrgyz state authorities or courts made only on an official written request under applicable law.

Can I have my data deleted?

Yes. Send a deletion request to admin@livegram.io and your account and associated personal information will be deleted within 30 working days. You can also request a copy of what is stored and demand corrections to inaccurate data.

Are my messages encrypted?

Communication channels are encrypted in transit using secure protocols. Note that bot conversations in Telegram are ordinary cloud chats, not end-to-end encrypted secret chats — that is a Telegram platform property that applies to every bot on the network, not a Livegram choice.

Where are Livegram's servers?

Server locations are not published. `

Troubleshooting

My bot doesn't respond at all. What do I check first?

Check three things in order: that the token you pasted is the current one from @BotFather, that no other service or script is running on the same token, and that you haven't deleted or revoked the bot in @BotFather. In most cases the token is the culprit.

Livegram says my token is invalid.

Copy it again from @BotFather (/mybots → your bot → API Token) and make sure no space, line break, or invisible character came along with it. If it still fails, revoke the token in @BotFather to generate a fresh one and paste the new value. A revoked token stops working instantly, so anything using the old one must be updated.

My bot suddenly stopped working after I connected it somewhere else.

Only one program may receive updates for a given token at a time. The moment a second service — another bot builder, a script, a webhook on your own server — starts on that token, one of them stops receiving anything, and the loser is usually whichever started first. Disconnect the other service entirely, then reconnect the bot in Livegram. If you are unsure what else is using it, generate a new token in @BotFather with /token and connect only Livegram to it.

Messages are not arriving in my admin chat.

Confirm the destination is still valid: if you connected a group, the bot must still be a member and an administrator there. If the group was deleted, the bot removed, or its admin rights withdrawn, delivery breaks silently. Reconnect the chat in /mybots, then test by writing to your bot from a second Telegram account.

My reply never reached the user.

The most common cause is that you typed a message instead of using Telegram's Reply on the forwarded one — without a reply, Livegram cannot tell who the answer is for. The second most common cause is that the person blocked your bot, in which case Telegram refuses delivery and nothing can be done from your side.

How do I know if a user blocked my bot?

Telegram rejects messages to users who blocked a bot, so replies and broadcasts simply do not arrive for them. You will usually notice it as a growing gap between your total user count and your broadcast reach. There is no way to message someone again unless they unblock the bot and write to you first.

I lost access to my Telegram account. Can I recover my bot?

Your bot lives in @BotFather under the Telegram account that created it, so recovering the Telegram account is the only route back. Livegram support cannot restore control of a bot to a different account, because ownership is determined by Telegram, not by Livegram.

How do I change my bot's name, description or avatar?

All of that is done in @BotFather, not in Livegram: /mybots → your bot → Edit Bot, where you can change the name, the description (up to 512 characters), the "about" text (up to 120 characters) and the profile picture. Changes take effect on Telegram's side within moments. Livegram controls the message texts your users receive, not the bot's Telegram profile.

Can I change my bot's username?

No. Telegram does not allow a bot's @username to be changed after creation. If you must have a different one, create a new bot with @BotFather and connect the new token to Livegram — your existing subscriber list will not carry over.

How do I disconnect or delete a bot?

Disconnect it from Livegram in /mybots, which stops Livegram from operating it. To delete the bot account entirely, use /deletebot in @BotFather. Deleting in @BotFather is irreversible and removes the bot from Telegram for everyone.

If I delete my bot, can I reuse the username?

@BotFather describes /deletebot as permanently deleting the bot and freeing its username, but the freed username is released to everyone, not reserved for you. Telegram does not document how quickly it becomes claimable again. `

I want to move off Livegram to a custom bot. How?

Disconnect the bot in Livegram, then revoke the token in @BotFather and issue a new one for your developer. Your users keep the same @username and the same chat, so nothing changes on their side. Note that the conversation history and subscriber list stored by Livegram do not transfer.

The bot works but is very slow, or my broadcast crawls.

Telegram enforces rate limits on all bots — broadly around 30 messages per second overall and much less to a single group. Livegram paces sending to stay inside them, which is why large broadcasts take time. If a bot generates an abnormal load on Livegram's servers, its speed may also be throttled deliberately until the cause is resolved.

I can't send or receive a large file.

The Telegram Bot API limits what bots can move: 20 MB for a file the bot downloads, 50 MB for a file the bot sends, and 10 MB for a photo. Anything larger fails regardless of which service runs the bot. Ask the person to send a file-sharing link, or to send a large video as a document link rather than an upload.

My voice reply won't send to a particular user.

Telegram Premium users can switch off receipt of voice messages and video notes, and Telegram then refuses delivery to them specifically. There is nothing to fix on your side — reply with text or a file to that person instead.

My bot was banned or restricted by Telegram.

That is a Telegram enforcement decision, usually for spam or prohibited content, and Livegram cannot reverse it. Telegram's bot-developer terms reserve the right to restrict a bot with no advance notice, compensation or explanation, and there is no documented appeal process — @BotSupport is the usual place to ask, but nothing is guaranteed. Livegram's terms place actions by Telegram outside its responsibility, and such events do not qualify for a refund.

My account or bot was blocked by Livegram.

Livegram may suspend an account and disable its bots immediately, without notice or refund, for violating the User Agreement. If you believe this was a mistake, write to admin@livegram.io with your account details and an explanation. Note that funds for the unused remainder of a subscription are forfeited when a block is the result of a genuine violation.

Everything looks correct but it still doesn't work.

Send /feedback in @LivegramBot or email admin@livegram.io. Include your bot's @username, what you expected, what actually happened, and a screenshot — that trio resolves most cases in a single reply.

Limits and rules

What is strictly prohibited?

Spam and unsolicited bulk messaging, phishing, fraud, pyramid schemes, illegal lotteries and casinos, the sale of prohibited or restricted goods including drugs, weapons, counterfeits and pornography, collecting third parties' personal data without their consent, content promoting violence, terrorism or discrimination, copyright infringement, and distributing malware. Breaking any of these can get your account and bots removed without notice or refund.

What are Telegram's rate limits?

Telegram's published guidance is: no more than about one message per second to a single chat, no more than 20 messages per minute in a group, and no more than roughly 30 messages per second when broadcasting. Exceeding them gets the bot temporarily throttled by Telegram. These are Telegram's limits, not Livegram's, and they apply to every bot on the platform.

Can Livegram slow my bot down?

Yes, if it has to. If a bot puts an abnormal load on the servers — for example mass mailings beyond the established limits — Livegram may restrict its speed or block it temporarily until the cause is resolved.

Am I responsible for what my bot does?

Entirely. Livegram is a passive technical provider that does not select recipients, initiate messages, or pre-moderate content. All civil, administrative and criminal liability for the content, actions, goods and services offered through your bot rests with you, including copyright clearance for anything you upload.

Is Livegram suitable for personal use?

The terms state the service is intended for commercial, professional or entrepreneurial use, and are not governed by consumer-protection law. Nothing stops a personal project technically, but you should read the User Agreement with that framing in mind.

Are there content rules beyond Livegram's own?

Yes — Telegram's terms of service apply on top of Livegram's, and Telegram enforces them independently. A bot can be perfectly acceptable to Livegram and still be removed by Telegram, which is why the safest approach is to satisfy both rulebooks.

How do I report a bot that is abusing Livegram?

Email admin@livegram.io with the offending bot's @username and evidence such as screenshots. Serious cases involving illegal content should also be reported to Telegram directly.

Account and general

Is Livegram really free?

Yes. The full bot-building and messaging feature set — connecting bots, receiving and answering messages, team chats, broadcasts and analytics — costs nothing, and no card is needed to start. The service is funded by advertising, which is why the free tier shows Livegram's ads and the "This bot was created with @LivegramBot" label.

Is Livegram part of Telegram?

No. Livegram is independent software and is in no way affiliated with, associated with, authorized or sponsored by Telegram FZ-LLC. It is built on Telegram's public Bot API, the same way any third-party bot is.

Who operates Livegram?

"Krionit Lab" LLC, registered in the Kyrgyz Republic, at Office 5, Building 18, Klubny Lane, Pervomaisky District, Bishkek. TIN 00502202610356. The contact address for all enquiries is admin@livegram.io.

What languages does Livegram support?

The interface is multilingual — send /lang in @LivegramBot to change yours. You can also set the language of the texts your own users see, and Livegram keeps track of which language each of your users is on so you can address them separately.

Can my bot talk to users in more than one language?

Yes. Livegram supports separate texts per language, and incoming conversations can be organised by language so you can broadcast to one language group at a time. This is genuinely useful for anyone running an international channel.

How do I contact support?

Write to our support bot @LivegramSupportBot for product and technical questions, or email admin@livegram.io. For billing questions, include the order ID from your payment receipt — it speeds things up considerably.

What are all the commands?
Command What it does
/start Start working with @LivegramBot
/addbot Connect a new bot using its @BotFather token
/mybots Manage your connected bots
/pro Buy or manage the Livegram Pro subscription
/ads Buy advertising placements
/lang Change the interface language
/help Built-in reference
/feedback Contact support
How big is Livegram?

Around 6 million people have used @LivegramBot cumulatively, with more than 500,000 active according to the website, and over 131,000 bots have been created on the platform. That makes it one of the most widely used feedback-bot builders on Telegram.

Is there a guaranteed uptime or SLA?

No. The service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. Livegram also depends on Telegram's own availability, which is outside anyone's control.

What technology is Livegram built on?

The platform is built on Telegraf.js, a well-established Node.js framework for the Telegram Bot API. In day-to-day use this is invisible to you — everything is configured through chat.

What happens if I just stop using my bot?

If a bot is inactive or unpaid for 30 consecutive calendar days, Livegram may delete it and all associated data, including message history and subscriber lists, from its servers. Keep this in mind before pausing a project you intend to return to.

Which law governs the agreement?

The User Agreement is governed by the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic, and unresolved disputes go to the competent court at the operator's place of registration. Both parties are expected to attempt to settle disagreements through negotiation first.

About

How we pay for it — the honest version

Free products are paid for somehow. Ours is paid for by advertising, and we would rather explain it than bury it. On the free plan, ads appear inside @LivegramBot and inside the bots you connect, and every bot carries the label "This bot was created with @LivegramBot." That advertising revenue funds the infrastructure that keeps the builder free for everyone else. If you do not want that, Livegram Pro removes all of it. Advertisers can book placements by sending /ads to @LivegramBot.

We do not read your conversations. Livegram works purely as a proxy: messages travel between people inside Telegram, and the service only relays them from one chat to the other. Your correspondence lives in Telegram — in the user's chat with your bot and in your admin chat — and nowhere else. The only thing Livegram stores is the bot owner's Telegram ID, used for authorization and account management.

Livegram is independent software. It is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized, endorsed by, or sponsored by Telegram FZ-LLC or any of its subsidiaries. Livegram is built on Telegram's public Bot API and depends on that platform's availability.
