Hey everyone, I’ve been messing around with Telegram bots lately and I’m wondering if there’s a way to let more than one person control the same bot. I looked through the Bot Father docs but couldn’t find anything about this. Has anyone figured out how to share bot control between different users? It would be super helpful for our team project. Maybe there’s a setting I missed or a workaround? Any tips or ideas would be awesome!
I’ve actually dealt with this exact situation before! While there’s no built-in feature to give multiple users direct control over a single bot’s API token, we found a workaround that worked great for our team.
We set up a shared group chat and added our bot as an admin. Then, we promoted trusted team members to admin status in that group. This way, everyone could interact with and command the bot within that space.
For more advanced management, we ended up using Combot alongside our custom bot. It gave us detailed analytics and moderation tools that multiple admins could access.
Just remember to be careful about who you grant admin rights to, as they’ll have significant control over the bot’s actions in that group. Hope this helps with your team project!
yeah, it’s def possible! we did smthing similar for our team project. basically, add ur bot to a group chat n make trusted team members admins there. they can all interact with the bot then. just be careful who u give admin rights to, ya know? good luck with ur project, dude!
While Telegram doesn’t have a built-in feature for multiple users to directly control a single bot, there’s a practical workaround. Create a group chat, add your bot as an admin, and then promote trusted team members to admin status in that group. This way, everyone can interact with and command the bot within that space.
For more advanced management, consider using specialized admin bots like Combot or Group Butler alongside your custom bot. These can provide additional tools for moderation and analytics that multiple admins can access.
Remember to be cautious about who you grant admin rights to, as they’ll have significant control over the bot’s actions in the group. This approach should work well for your team project, allowing collaborative management of the bot’s activities.
