What Your Bot Can Do

By the end of this page, you'll have a solid mental map of every feature your bot exposes — for subscribers in the chat, and for you as the project owner.

When you connect a Telegram bot to your Subscriby project, we turn that bare bot (created via @BotFather) into a fully-featured membership assistant. You never write any code; Subscriby handles every message, button, and payment flow the bot offers.

For you (the creator)Copy Anchor Link

Your bot also exposes admin commands you can use directly in the chat with your own bot. These are hidden from regular users — only accessible to you as the project owner:

• /check — pull a detailed status report for any user by Telegram ID.
• /ban — ban a user, revoke their access, and remove them from linked resources.

See Admin commands for the full command reference with safety notes.

The platform bot, the one that onboards you, runs your Referral Program as well: a project card offers 🎁 Manage Referral Program beside Manage Coupon Codes. From there you set the program up in a few answers (what referrers earn, what their friends get, who may join, whether you approve each affiliate, the hold and the payout question on a cash commission, your own terms), read it back in words with its figures, change one setting at a time, pause, resume or delete it, list affiliates by standing, approve, suspend or enrol one from a member search, and record a payout against what is payable. Restricting the program to certain plans stays in the dashboard.

The home menu also carries 🤝 Partner Program, the platform's own Partner Program: before you apply it shows the terms and sends you to the dashboard's application; once you are approved it shows your code and links with a copy button, the sentence to share, your rate broken down and the next volume tier, your referrals, commissions and payouts five a page, your commitments with a Send Proof button on each one still waiting for proof and Add a Commitment for a kind you have not promised yet, the Payout Details conversation (the rail, the details it needs, your legal name, tax country and US-person answer) and the terms to read and accept. A creator who opens the bot through your partner link (t.me/<platform bot>?start=partner_<code>) and creates their account in the chat is recorded as your referral, exactly as a sign-up through your web link is.

Automatic member-management featuresCopy Anchor Link

Behind the scenes, the bot handles all the mechanical work of running a paid community:

• Add members on subscribe — generates a single-use invite link per resource and delivers it.
• Remove members when access ends — on cancellation (at cycle-end), expiry, or ban, the bot kicks the user from all linked resources.
• Detect unauthorised members — users who sneak into private groups without a valid subscription are automatically removed.
• Unban cleanly before re-invite — if a subscriber returns after being removed, the bot unbans first so the rejoin works smoothly.
• Webhook-driven — Telegram pings our servers on every relevant event; we stay in sync within seconds. See Webhooks.

What the bot can't doCopy Anchor Link

Worth knowing up front so you don't expect behaviour that isn't there:

• Post autonomous content on your behalf. The bot only sends messages triggered by subscriber actions or lifecycle events — it doesn't write your posts for you.
• Moderate content in your groups. Anti-spam, anti-bot, anti-abuse moderation is still Telegram's native tools (admins, auto-delete rules, external moderation bots).
• Generate arbitrary analytics. Subscription metrics appear in your dashboard; detailed engagement analytics are your job (or Telegram's own channel stats).
