Getting Started |
Below is a walkthrough on how to add and configure the Collab.Land bot for your Telegram group. Also included are a list of commands group administrators and members can use to interact with the bot. Note: Screenshots have been taken from the Mac desktop application. The experience may be a little different on other operating systems. Create A New Telegram GroupIf you have an existing Telegram group, skip to Configure Your Group Settings.
At least one member will need to be added to your new group to proceed. It is recommended to add the bot at a later time. If you add the bot now, you will need to manually start a conversation with it later.
Optional: Add a picture for your group icon by selecting the Camera icon.
Configure Your Group SettingsYou'll need to make sure your group is set up to use the Collab.Land bot by editing your Group Settings. If you have an existing Telegram group, start here.
Adding the Bot to your GroupAdd @collablandbot to your new group. Please enter this username exactly. Others may try to imitate the bot. The bot will need to be added after the group chat history has been set to visible. If not, it will automatically leave the group and ask to have the chat history setting updated. Once the bot is added to your group, it will announce itself in chat as well as send a DM to provide admin options for your group. If you have added the bot while creating the group, you will need to DM the command "/start" to @collablandbot to begin setting up admin options.

Group Admin |
To access bot admin options, go back to your chat with @collablandbot, and either press the Start button at the bottom of the screen or type "/start" in the message composer.
When returning to the menu later this selection description will update to Group Admin.
If your group is not displayed, select Add Collab.Land To Group first.
Token Permissioned ChatToken Permissioned Chat allows you to create an exclusive chatroom for members who hold a certain amount of your tokens. One or more tokens can be configured in a group. When more than one token is configured, a member only needs to meet the requirement for one of the configurations. The bot continues to monitor your member's token holding in regular intervals. If a member no longer meets the requirement, for example they transfer the tokens out of their wallet, they will automatically be removed. Setup
The group invitation link will also be displayed here. Use this link to invite members to your group after completing the setup.
Note: Token Permissioned Chat only checks to see if members have the minimum required amount of tokens in their connected wallet. We never remove these tokens from the wallet. Delete ConfigAfter a token permission has been configured, the option to delete will appear in the menu. Simply select the configuration you wish to delete. Update TPC Onboarding MessageSelect this to update the direct message members receive from the bot when they first join the Token Permissioned Chat group. Disable Group Welcome MessageThe bot has a default message in chat when someone joins the group. You can turn this on or off from the Command Center. Disable Group Goodbye MessageThe bot has a default message in chat when someone leaves the group. You can turn this on or off from the Command Center. |
Connecting Your Wallet |
To leverage the Collab.Land bot, you will be asked to connect your wallet to the bot so it may verify you are the wallet owner. For administrators, this is so your community can use Collab.Land features listed in the Admin Functions section. For members, this is so you can access Token Permissioned Chat. For best results, make sure you are on your Telegram desktop app to complete these steps and you have already downloaded and setup MetaMask.
Note: MetaMask selections are to connect while on a desktop. For MetaMask Mobile please select WalletConnect. ![]()
