Overview
Response Delay is a target measured from the latest inbound fan message to the outgoing AI reply. Active Hours define the schedule in which automated messaging is allowed for the creator.
- Set a minimum and maximum reply window.
- Align the schedule with the creator timezone.
- Understand how rapid fan messages affect the timing target.
Before you start
- Select the exact Telegram bot and creator profile you want to configure.
- Make sure the bot has a usable Secretary Mode setup for live creator-profile conversations.
- Prepare at least one active, usable Script before enabling AI for production traffic.
Step by step
- Open Behavior Settings and set the minimum and maximum Response Delay.
- Confirm the creator timezone used by the Active Hours schedule.
- Enable the intended active periods and save the configuration.
- Send one message, then send a short burst of nearby messages before the reply arrives.
- Confirm Telestars responds to the latest combined fan moment and that proactive follow-ups respect the schedule.
How it works
These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.
| What to know | Telestars behavior |
|---|---|
| Delay meaning | The configured delay targets total perceived time from the latest fan message, not an extra wait added after the reply is ready. |
| Message bursts | Nearby fan messages can be grouped as one current turn so the reply addresses the latest signal instead of answering line by line. |
| External latency | Telegram and other external processing can occasionally make an individual reply exceed the target. |
| Pause schedule | Scheduled no-reply follow-ups do not bypass the configured inactive periods. |
Verify the result
- Send a real fan message to the linked Telegram profile and confirm a visible reply arrives.
- Confirm the reply uses the intended creator facts, voice, language, and commercial pace.
- Check that changing style never changes the configured Script, price, media, or delivery state.
Troubleshooting
| If you see this | What to check |
|---|---|
| Replies are consistently outside the range | Check the saved values, creator timezone, active schedule, Telegram connection, and whether fans send additional messages before delivery. |
| One fan message received several replies | Test with a short burst and confirm the messages belong to one conversation and one reply window. |
| A no-reply follow-up did not send | Check Active Hours, the Telegram reply window, and whether the fan replied or another follow-up sequence is active. |
Best practice
Choose a range that fits the creator voice, then measure it from the fan experience rather than from the moment generation starts.
