Getting started

Create an account, connect a Telegram number, and send your first auto-reply in about five minutes.

Prime Bot is a managed Telegram auto-reply platform. You keep your own Telegram account; we drive the inbox on your behalf using the rules you configure. This page walks you through the initial setup.

1. Create an account

Sign up at /user/register with an email address and a password. You'll land in the dashboard with an empty workspace and no connected accounts yet.

2. Connect your Telegram account

Open Accounts → Connect Telegram from the sidebar. You have two options:

  • QR code — scan from the mobile Telegram app (Settings → Devices → Link Desktop Device). Fastest path if your phone is handy.
  • Phone number — enter your number, wait for the SMS/Telegram code, then submit it. A 2FA password prompt appears if you have one enabled.

Once the account shows a green dot in the list, Prime Bot has an active MadelineProto session and can read/send DMs for that number.

Heads up: Telegram treats rapid account additions as suspicious. If you're connecting a brand-new number, let it sit for 24 hours before sending large campaigns.

3. Build your first campaign

Go to Campaigns → New campaign. The minimal happy path is:

  1. Pick a name (just for your own reference).
  2. Choose a mode: auto_reply listens for inbound DMs, broadcast pushes to a contact list. Start with auto_reply.
  3. Set a trigger keyword (optional). Leave blank to reply to every new DM, or set something like pricing to only fire on matching messages.
  4. Attach the Telegram account you just connected.
  5. Write the reply body. Markdown-style formatting is supported.
  6. Click Save & Start.

4. Verify it works

From a different Telegram account, DM the number you connected. Within a few seconds the reply should arrive, and a new row appears under Campaigns → (your campaign) → Logs.

# Or poll the API to see the log appear:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  https://prime-bot.live/api/v1/campaigns/1/logs

Next steps

  • Core concepts — how campaigns, sequences, and followups fit together.
  • API authentication — issue a Sanctum token for programmatic access.
  • Webhooks — receive events in real time instead of polling.
