Templates: ready scenarios for a Telegram bot

A template is a set of ready flows for a common task, together with the panels and Mini Apps they need: client booking, a shop, paid access to a channel, a live feed. A wizard asks a few questions and installs the flows into the bot. Once installed, the flows can be changed in the editor like any others.

Templates are in Ukrainian for now.

The templates

• Booking («Запис на час»). A client picks a specialist, a day and a time, the bot reminds them of the visit, and the client can move or cancel it. The template adds the Schedule panel.
• Shop («Магазин»). A client browses products with photos and prices, fills a cart and places an order. The template adds the Storefront panel.
• Private club («Закритий клуб»). The bot takes payment and lets a person into a channel or group for the paid period. Before the period ends it reminds them to renew, and afterwards it removes them from the channel.
• Live («Ефір»). The owner sends the bot /live, and the bot forwards everything the owner sends next to the subscribers as it is, until the owner sends /stop.

Installing a template

1. Press "Templates" in the top bar.
2. To see a template's flows before installing it, press "Preview".
3. Press "Install". The wizard opens.
4. In the wizard's steps, set the texts and settings the bot starts with, and press "Next". Some steps can be turned off with a switch. The template then leaves them out. Some steps offer options to choose from, and the template installs the one picked.
5. On the "Review and install" step, check the name, the commands and the flows that will be created.
6. Press "Install". The editor opens on the template's first flow.

The template's flows are installed published: the bot answers their commands at once.

Installing a template again

A template can be installed again, for example for a second branch. Give the copy another name. The copy then has its own data, panels and Mini Apps.
