Overview
Telestars turns a connected Telegram bot into a sales and conversation workspace. Telegram carries the messages, while Telestars owns the creator context, script progression, media delivery, monetization route, and operator controls.
- Know which setup surfaces must be completed before launch.
- Understand the difference between transport, product content, and billing readiness.
- Use the bot card as the final readiness and activation checkpoint.
- Validate the launch on the real Telegram path.
Before you start
- A Telestars workspace and permission to configure at least one bot.
- Access to the Telegram account and the official @BotFather bot used for setup.
- A Telegram Business profile with the Chatbots settings available.
Step by step
- Open Getting Started and review the complete launch checklist before changing individual settings.
- Create and connect the Telegram bot, then link it to the intended Telegram Business profile through Secretary Mode.
- Complete the creator profile and choose either Paid Media or Sell Link as the active sales mode.
- Prepare the media and activate a script that is valid for that selected mode.
- Fund the shared wallet when required, open My Bots, resolve the listed blockers, and enable AI.
- Send a message from a different Telegram account and inspect the resulting conversation in Fan Inbox.
How it works
These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.
| What to know | Telestars behavior |
|---|---|
| Telegram transport | The bot token authenticates the bot, and Secretary Mode lets that bot act in private chats linked to the Telegram Business profile. |
| Product context | Creator information, active scripts, gallery assets, and the selected sales mode determine what the AI can say and sell. |
| Activation checkpoint | My Bots evaluates runtime blockers and controls the per-bot AI switch; a paid subscription is not required to use the core AI stack. |
| Live verification | Dashboard configuration alone does not prove Telegram delivery. A real inbound message confirms the full path. |
Verify the result
- You can identify the dashboard page responsible for every part of the launch.
- The chosen bot, creator, mode, active script, and wallet all refer to the same workspace.
- The first real test conversation appears in Fan Inbox.
Troubleshooting
| If you see this | What to check |
|---|---|
| A setup control is unavailable | Check your workspace role and bot assignment. Wallet and subscription controls are restricted to owners and admins. |
| AI cannot be enabled | Expand the bot card and follow each blocker link. Telestars checks the active sales mode, script readiness, creator profile, wallet, and any already-discovered Secretary connection. |
| The dashboard looks ready but no reply arrives | Send a new private message from another Telegram account, then verify Secretary permissions and the selected bot, script, and sales mode. |
Best practice
Treat My Bots as the launch control panel: expand the bot card and follow its current blocker links instead of relying on an old checklist state.
