Three templates and what each is for
How “Code word in a comment”, “Gift for a follow on Instagram” and “Gift for a follow on Telegram” differ.
Bots are built from ready-made templates: you answer the wizard’s questions and the conversation assembles itself. There are three templates — one per common job.
“Code word in a comment” — Instagram
A user writes your code word under your post, the bot replies in direct messages, optionally checks the follow and hands over what you promised: a link, a file, a promo code.
This bot has exactly one trigger — a comment under a post. It is the classic move: “write ‘want’ under this post and I will send you the checklist.” Besides the private message the bot can also reply publicly, right under the comment.

“Gift for a follow on Instagram”
The same conversation, but anything on Instagram can start it — one event or all six: a direct message, a comment under a post, a comment in a live, a story reply, a story reaction, a mention in a story.
Take it when there is more than one way in: for example a link in your stories and a code word under a post both leading to the same gift.

“Gift for a follow on Telegram”
A user starts your Telegram bot — it greets them, optionally checks the subscription to your channel and hands over what you promised. It starts on the “Start” button, on your link, on a code word or on any message.
Take it when your traffic goes to Telegram: ads, profile bio, a post in your channel.

How to choose
| What you have | Which template |
|---|---|
| A post on Instagram and a word in the comments | “Code word in a comment” |
| Several ways in on Instagram at once: DMs, stories, lives | “Gift for a follow on Instagram” |
| A Telegram channel and traffic to a bot | “Gift for a follow on Telegram” |
A template is only a starting point. Once the bot exists you can change any text, button or trigger: open the bot and go through the wizard again.
Common questions
Can I build a bot without a template? Right now bots are created only through the wizards — that way it is much harder to end up with a conversation that breaks off somewhere.
Can I have several bots on one account? Yes, as many as you like. Their triggers must differ — see Launch rules.
What if I want a different template after launch? The template itself does not change, but you can edit the whole bot or create a new one. To copy an existing one, use “Duplicate” in the “⋯” menu on its card.
