Bot Setup Guide

This guide covers everything a group administrator needs to set up and configure a Danbot-powered group.

🚀 Adding Danbot to Your Group​

  1. Search & Add: Search for @OG_danbot on Telegram and add it to your group.
  2. Grant Permissions: Grant Danbot administrator permissions. This is required for:
    • Pinning messages (Voting cards)
    • Deleting scam messages
    • Kicking/Banning users (Moderation)
  3. Registration: Once added, Danbot will post a welcome message and automatically register your group in the network.
  4. Admin Reward: When you add Danbot to a new group, you earn +50 permanent base points to your personal Voting Power score.

⚙️ Project Setup — Group Config App​

The easiest way to configure your group is through the Group Config app, a visual control panel that opens right inside Telegram.

To open it:

  1. Open a private chat with Danbot.
  2. Enter /start if this is your first time using the menu
  3. Tap Menu → ⚙️ Groups.
  4. If you're an admin in more than one group, pick the right one from the dropdown at the top.

From there, the app is organized into tabs:

Profile​

Set up your project in one screen instead of memorizing commands:

  • Group Type — tell Danbot what kind of community this is (coin, call group, lounge, prediction market, gaming).
  • Mint Address — paste your token's mint address and Danbot looks it up automatically, filling in the symbol for you. This is the same lookup /setcoin performs, just done for you as you type.
  • Coin Symbol — for pre-launch projects without a mint address yet, set a symbol manually.
  • Reply Style — choose how Danbot talks in your group.
  • Contact Name and Wallet Address — keep your project's contact and payout details up to date.
  • Credits — see your group's current credit balance and top up directly from the app, with step-by-step payment instructions.

Setting a mint address here gives the same benefits as /setcoin: live price and market cap data, and the 10% Top Groups leaderboard boost.

Filters​

Create and manage auto-reply triggers without typing command syntax:

  • Add a filter with a plain text response, an AI-generated response, or a response built from one of your message templates.
  • Toggle any filter on or off without deleting it.
  • See every filter's status at a glance, with enabled/disabled shown directly on the card.

Templates​

Build and schedule recurring admin messages visually:

  • Create a template with a title, message content, type, and how often it should repost.
  • Turn scheduling on or off per template.
  • Edit or delete templates at any time.

Coming soon​

Scam protection settings and topic/thread modes are being added to the app next. For now, configure these using the slash commands below.

🛠️ Project Setup — Slash Commands​

Everything in the Group Config app has a slash-command equivalent, and the two methods stay in sync — changes made in the app show up immediately when you check with a command, and vice versa. Use whichever is faster for you in the moment; there's no need to pick one permanently.

/setcoin​

Associates your group with a specific token for real-time tracking and leaderboard bonuses. Equivalent to the Mint Address / Coin Symbol fields on the Profile tab.

/setcoin <address>       — Set by Solana mint address (launched tokens)
/setcoin mint <address>  — Same as above (mint is the default)
/setcoin symbol <SYM>    — Set by symbol only (pre-launch projects)
/setcoin clear           — Remove current coin association

/mycoin & /coininfo​

Once a coin is set, use these commands to check on it:

  • /mycoin: Shows which token is currently being tracked for the group.
  • /coininfo: Displays live price, market cap, volume, and DEX data for the tracked token.

Benefits of setting a coin (via either method):

  • Enables live price, market cap, and volume data via /coininfo.
  • Groups with a configured coin receive a 10% boost in their Top Groups leaderboard score.

/style​

Sets Danbot's reply style for the group. Equivalent to the Reply Style field on the Profile tab.

/buybot​

Toggles buy alerts and sets the minimum buy amount that triggers them. Equivalent to the Buybot Alerts toggle and Minimum Buy Amount field on the Profile tab.

/filter & /filters​

Set up auto-reply triggers from the chat. Equivalent to the Filters tab.

/filter <trigger> <reply>        — Text response
/filter <trigger> ai:<prompt>    — AI-generated response
/filter <trigger> template:<id>  — Response from a message template
/filter <trigger> clear          — Delete a filter
/filters                         — List all active filters for this group

/createtemplate, /listtemplates, /assigntemplate, /unassigntemplate​

Create and schedule recurring admin messages. The Templates tab covers create, edit, and scheduling for templates that belong to the current group; these commands additionally let you reuse one template you created across multiple groups you admin — something the app doesn't yet support.

/createtemplate "Title" "Content" hours  — Create a message template
/listtemplates                           — Show templates for this group
/assigntemplate <id>                     — Schedule a template in this chat
/unassigntemplate <id>                   — Remove a template's schedule from this chat
/listassignments                         — Show active schedules in this chat

/socials​

Manages the project links shown to your community. Not yet available in the Group Config app — use the command for now.

/socials list                       — Show all configured links
/socials add "Name" https://url     — Add or update a link
/socials remove "Name"              — Remove a specific link

Tip: Members can simply type "socials" in chat to get an interactive button menu of all your project links.

Next: Configure AI Responses & Modes or set up the Voting System.
