Questions, answered
Can I use my existing Telegram bot?
Yes. Connect your existing bot by providing its bot token from BotFather. SociaHive takes over message handling while your bot keeps its identity and username.
Does it work in group chats?
Yes. SociaHive detects group events including new member joins, member leaves, and messages. You can trigger welcome flows on join and respond to commands in groups.
What message types are supported?
Text, photos, videos, documents, audio, voice messages, stickers, contact sharing, and location sharing. Plus inline keyboards and reply keyboards for interactive menus.
How do inline keyboards work?
Inline keyboards are button menus attached to messages. Each button can trigger a different flow branch, letting users navigate complex menus without typing. Buttons support callback data routing.
Can it handle /start with parameters?
Yes. Deep links like t.me/yourbot?start=promo123 pass the parameter to your flow, letting you create campaign-specific welcome sequences from different traffic sources.
Is there a message limit?
Telegram's Bot API has generous rate limits (30 messages/second to different chats, 20 messages/minute to the same chat). SociaHive respects these limits automatically.
Which plans include Telegram?
Telegram automation is on Pro ($149/mo, up to 10 automated accounts) and Agency ($349/mo, 100). Creator and Studio automate Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp.
Can I collect payments through the bot?
Not inside Telegram. Your bot can send a button that opens your own checkout page.
