Step 1

First look: Account Setup checklist and demo leads

When you log in for the first time, the dashboard shows two things: a six-step Account Setup checklist and a sample Inbox on the right so you can see what leads will look like.

Step 3

Authorize with a Telegram code or QR scan

Pick how Telegram should verify you. Code is the classic path; QR scan is faster if you already have Telegram open on your phone.

Step 5

Add the keywords that define a lead

Switch to Keywords and type 5–10 phrases that signal someone is looking for what you sell. Use the next tab to add stop-words that filter out obvious noise.

Connect the alert bot in Telegram

The last checklist item connects @chat_lead_notifier_bot — it pushes every new matched message straight to your Telegram. One click opens Telegram and links the bot to your account.

Step 7

Describe your business so AI can classify leads (Business plan or higher)

On the Business plan or higher, open the Business Profile from the account card. The AI uses this description to tag every match as hot, warm or cold — and, if you enable it, to draft a reply for each hot lead.

Step 8

Decide how loud each lead type should be (Business plan or higher)

Open Notification settings from the account card. Pick per classification — push for hot, silent for warm, off for cold — or any combination that fits your day.
