Troubleshooting

Most issues with Group Bot come down to a handful of patterns. Work through the symptoms below in order — each one ends with the single action most likely to fix it.

I Sent /start and the Admin Panel Didn't Appear

Two things to check, in order:

• Are you a group admin? Only Telegram admins of the group see the admin panel. Ask a current admin to promote you, then try again.
• Did you send /start in the group chat? Sending /start in a private chat with the bot returns a "this bot is designed for groups" message instead.

Swap Alerts Aren't Arriving in the Group

Check in this order:

• The bot is not an admin of the group. Without admin rights, Telegram rate-limits the bot and alerts can be delayed or dropped. Grant admin with default permissions — see Getting Started.
• The TX threshold is too high. Open the token's configuration and lower TX Threshold.
• No swaps of that size have happened yet. Check the token on a block explorer — if every recent trade is genuinely below your threshold, nothing is missing; the bot is doing exactly what it was asked to.
• The token is not in this group's tracking list. Open Tracked Tokens and confirm the symbol is there.

Alerts Are Posting but Without Market Cap or Taxes

Tax and market-cap figures come from public data sources that do not cover every token. For very new tokens, or tokens on exotic markets, those fields may be blank. Buy / sell amount and the View TX link will always be shown.

My GIF URL Was Rejected

The bot verifies the URL returns a real media file before saving. Try each of these in order:

• Open the URL in a browser — does it directly load a GIF, without taking you to a web page where the GIF is embedded? Embedded GIFs will not work; use a direct link to the media file itself.
• Check for redirects — some hosts redirect bots differently than browsers. Use a direct CDN link.
• Try a different host, or re-host the GIF somewhere simpler.

A Swap Happened But I Only Got One Alert

This is the anti-spam behavior. The bot coalesces alerts for the same token within a short window to avoid flooding the chat during rapid swap activity. The aggregate picture is still accurate — the USD size in the alert reflects the combined swap.

Too Much Noise — How Do I Quiet the Bot?

Any of these helps, combined as needed:

• Raise the TX Threshold for noisy tokens.
• Turn off Price Alert for tokens that move a lot.
• Remove tokens the group no longer cares about from the tracking list.

The Bot Left the Group

If the bot was kicked or removed from the group, it stops posting immediately. Re-add it, grant admin, and re-add the tokens — group configuration is NOT restored automatically.

Something Else Is Wrong

Send /start in the group to re-open the admin panel. Your tokens, configurations, and admin panel language are all persisted; only the current dialog state resets. If a problem reproduces after that, try removing the token and re-adding it with the defaults.
