Overview
Platform-level Telegram mechanics — bot setup, resource linking, admin commands, deep-linking, and how the webhook stays in sync.
Telegram is the platform Subscriby is built around, and today the only one that is live. Every project belongs to one Telegram bot, and that bot is what actually admits, removes and bans members as their subscriptions change.
This section covers the platform-level mechanics. What you sell and who you sell it to lives in For Creators; what your members experience lives in For Subscribers.
You need your own bot
Subscriby drives a bot you create with Telegram's @BotFather and connect with its token. That is what makes the bot yours — your name, your handle, your branding — rather than subscribers interacting with something that says Subscriby.
