Collabland Telegram

Create Gates for Telegram with Collabland

Time to complete : 10-20 minutes (est)

To set up Collab.Land to gate your Telegram group, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a Telegram Group: Before you begin, you will need a Telegram group. If you do not have one, you can create one.

  2. Edit Your Group Settings: Access your group settings by selecting your group icon in the upper left hand corner of the menu bar, or by selecting the 3 dots and then clicking Info. Click Edit to edit the group settings. Click on Chat History for New Members and select Visible, click Done to save your changes. This allows new members who join to view the full message history and will upgrade your group into a supergroup. If you don’t enable the chat history before inviting the bot, it will not show in the Dashboard. Please remove the bot, make the Chat History for New Members -> Visible, and add the bot again.

  3. Adding the Collab.Land Bot: From the group info screen, select +Add. In the search bar that opens, type “collablandbot”. Please enter the username exactly - beware of imposters with similar names. Select the bot, and click OK to add it to the group.

  4. Adding Admin Permissions: For Collab.Land to work as expected, it requires admin permissions. From the group info screen, click Edit on the top right corner and then click on Administrators. Click on Add Admin and select the Collab.Land bot. The bot should have the following permissions enabled, Ban Users, and Invite Users via Link. Once finished click Done.

  1. Configuring Token Granted Access: All configuration and management of Collab.Land is done in the Command Center. You can edit the Token Granted Access for your group by going directly to Command Center or sending a direct message to @thecollablandbot with the /start command and following the Group Admin (Command Center) Link. Once in the Command Center, select your Telegram group from the list on the left. Each group chat can have its own gate. This is where you will put in your tokens smart contract address.
