When that is worth the extra step, and how to approve or redirect the plan. https://botable.io/videos/guides/05-plan-mode.mp4 141 2026-08-09 yes Ask your data in plain language https://botable.io/videos/guides/06-ask-your-data.jpg A mode in the same chat you build in: ask a question about your bot's own data and the answer comes back drawn as a chart or table, with no metric picker to learn first. https://botable.io/videos/guides/06-ask-your-data.mp4 135 2026-08-09 yes The Manage dashboard, row by row https://botable.io/videos/guides/07-the-manage-dashboard.jpg A tour of the screen a project opens on, the rail of eight rows, what each pane beside it holds, and why five of the rows behave differently from the other three. https://botable.io/videos/guides/07-the-manage-dashboard.mp4 141 2026-08-09 yes Read your bot's analytics https://botable.io/videos/guides/08-read-your-analytics.jpg Every update your bot receives is written down as it arrives, before your bot's code sees it.

Not selling the same slot twice is the whole problem, and it is solved in the database rather than in the message. https://botable.io/videos/guides/41-build-a-booking-bot.mp4 83 2026-08-09 yes Build a daily digest bot https://botable.io/videos/guides/42-build-a-daily-digest-bot.jpg A scheduled push that people keep. The cron side, the pacing side, and the honest warning about what an unasked-for daily message does to your mute rate. https://botable.io/videos/guides/42-build-a-daily-digest-bot.mp4 85 2026-08-09 yes Build a quiz bot with a leaderboard https://botable.io/videos/guides/43-build-a-quiz-bot.jpg Questions, scoring and a leaderboard, the first thing you build that has to remember something between messages. https://botable.io/videos/guides/43-build-a-quiz-bot.mp4 77 2026-08-09 yes Answer from a live API or a sheet https://botable.io/videos/guides/44-connect-a-live-data-source.jpg Asking for the integration in plain language, the inline form the builder shows when it needs a key, and why the answer should be cached. https://botable.io/videos/guides/44-connect-a-live-data-source.mp4 85 2026-08-09 yes Gate a paid community with Stars https://botable.io/videos/guides/45-gate-a-paid-community.jpg Setting a plan, what the customer sees inside the chat, and checking entitlement before you serve anything. https://botable.io/videos/guides/45-gate-a-paid-community.mp4 80 2026-08-09 yes Getting your first hundred users https://botable.io/videos/guides/46-your-first-hundred-users.jpg The share link, the QR, and tagged deep links so you learn which channel worked. Plus the reason a bot posted without a reason to press start converts badly. https://botable.io/videos/guides/46-your-first-hundred-users.mp4 84 2026-08-09 yes A broadcast people do not mute https://botable.io/videos/guides/47-a-broadcast-people-dont-mute.jpg Segmenting instead of blasting, one clear reason to open, and testing on yourself first. Then reading delivered against failed. https://botable.io/videos/guides/47-a-broadcast-people-dont-mute.mp4 86 2026-08-09 yes What your retention numbers mean https://botable.io/videos/guides/48-read-retention-honestly.jpg What day one, seven and thirty actually count, why a window reads zero until the bot is old enough, and what a strong day one with a weak day seven is telling you. https://botable.io/videos/guides/48-read-retention-honestly.mp4 85 2026-08-09 yes What to charge for your bot https://botable.io/videos/guides/49-what-to-charge.jpg Stars are bought inside Telegram, so the friction is low and the unit is unfamiliar. Pricing against the job rather than the feature list. https://botable.io/videos/guides/49-what-to-charge.mp4 83 2026-08-09 yes Your bot stopped answering https://botable.io/videos/guides/50-five-minute-triage.jpg The checks in the order that finds it fastest: asleep, token, logs, and whether the error you are looking at is even current. https://botable.io/videos/guides/50-five-minute-triage.mp4 81 2026-08-09 yes 2026-08-04 https://botable.io/compare 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/faq 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/about 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/contact 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/affiliate 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/terms 2026-03-31 https://botable.io/privacy 2026-03-31 https://botable.io/refund 2026-05-12 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/crypto-price-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/customer-support-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/quiz-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/weather-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/news-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/reminder-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/group-manager-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/booking-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/poll-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/translator-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/ai-assistant-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/store-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/notification-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/rss-feed-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/captcha-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/subscription-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/lead-generation-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/anonymous-feedback-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/giveaway-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/referral-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/expense-tracker-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/habit-tracker-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/inventory-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/crm-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/stock-market-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/sports-scores-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/flashcard-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/job-board-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/form-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/delivery-tracking-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/telegram-bots/event-bot 2026-08-03 https://botable.io/guides/how-to-create-a-telegram-bot Create your first bot https://botable.io/videos/guides/01-create-your-first-bot.jpg The whole path from an empty description box to a bot people can message.
