A Welcome Telegram Bot for Affiliate Networks

A Welcome Telegram Bot for Affiliate Networks

The survey bot makes life easier for your affiliate network’s managers. It helps them get to know new affiliates: learn their preferences, vertical, experience, and other information that’s useful to you.

How It Works

After signing up, the affiliate gets a welcome message in Telegram from their personal manager.

Hey! I’m your personal manager at the Akvolabean affiliate network. To get to know each other better, go fill out a quick survey with @AlterDummyBot, it’ll take less than a minute.

The message is sent in the affiliate’s own language. To dodge anti-spam filters, we tweak the message text slightly every time.

The survey bot invites the affiliate to fill out a short questionnaire. It can include any number of questions, but we recommend no more than five, so you don’t waste the affiliate’s time. Questions come with preset answer options – there’s no manual text entry. That saves the affiliate’s time too and boosts the completion rate. Once the survey’s done, the affiliate gets a thank-you note, and their manager gets the completed questionnaire.

You can see the bot in action yourself: @AlterDummyBot – it’ll run you through the survey and send you the completed form. You can check out sample welcome texts from a manager with the /hello command.

How to Get Your Own Bot

Get in touch with us, and we’ll help you put together everything you need.

Bot price: 10,000 ₽ or $150, a one-time payment.

Deployment time after you provide all the required information – one business day.

What We Need From the Customer

We recommend setting up the bot to work in two languages – Russian and English, since those are the ones your affiliate network supports. It’s best to provide the texts in both languages right away. For English-language examples, see this same article.

Manager’s Welcome Message

This is the message a manager sends the affiliate right after they sign up. We recommend spicing it up with an element of randomness and mixing in some synonyms.

Hey there!

There’s just one small step left before we start working together – answer a few questions for our bot @AlterDummyBot. It’ll help us speed up getting to know each other and get straight down to business!
If you didn’t sign up with the CPA network, just delete this conversation.

Thank you so much for filling out the survey! This will really help us speed things up and get straight to business. Your personal manager will be in touch with you shortly.

List of Your Network’s Managers

For every manager on your network who takes part in distributing affiliates, we need the following data:

  • User ID on the network. You can find it in the API-ID field on your network’s Profile page.
  • Telegram user ID. You can get it by sending the /whoami command to our bot @AlterCPATalkBot, which is probably already in your network’s general chat

A Telegram Application

Sending out messages requires setting up your own application in Telegram. We recommend doing this under the network owner’s account, or that of the responsible technical specialist.

  1. Sign in with your Telegram account at: https://my.telegram.org
  2. Go to the “API Development tools” section
  3. Fill in your application details. Pick any name you like. For the site, use your network’s address. Set the application type to Desktop.
  4. Click Create application and send the resulting API ID and hash to the AlterCPA technical specialist setting up your bot.

Attention! This information is confidential – don’t share it in your network’s general chat.

Connecting Your Managers

Once the bot is configured and ready to go, we’ll need to activate your managers’ accounts.

Each manager will need to do the following:

  • Stay reachable for five minutes and not disappear
  • Provide the phone number their corporate Telegram account is linked to.
  • Wait for the activation message to arrive and forward it as a screenshot to the responsible AlterCPA specialist.

Important! The activation code can’t be sent as text or forwarded as a message – that will invalidate it. Screenshots only.
