Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Search for Controller Bot

First, open Telegram and enter "Controller Bot" in the search bar. Make sure to select the correct bot. The original Controller Bot can be found as "@ControllerBot". There are some fake versions to avoid. To be sure, select the bot that has an exclamation mark next to its name.

Step 2: Start the Bot

After selecting the correct Controller Bot, open it and start the bot. Click on the "Start" button to interact with the bot.

Step 3: Link the Channel

Now you need to link your Telegram channel with the Controller Bot. To do this, type "/channel" in the chat with the bot and send this message. This is the first step in linking your business channel with the Controller Bot.

Step 4: Enter Bot Token

To proceed, you need to enter your bot token. You should have already created and copied this token when you created the bot using BotFather. Paste the token into the message field and send it so that the Controller Bot knows which bot it is referring to.

Step 5: Forward Message

To finalize the link, you need to select a message from your group or channel and forward it to the Controller Bot. Choose the message, click on the forward arrow, and select the Controller Bot as the recipient.

Step 6: Set Timezone

After forwarding the message, the Controller Bot will ask for your timezone. You should enter the name of your city so that the bot can set the correct time for your region. For example, you can enter "Vienna," "Frankfurt," or "Berlin," depending on where you are located.

Step 7: Confirm Timezone

Once you have entered the city name, the bot will confirm whether the timezone is correct. Confirm this so that the Controller Bot can successfully save your timezone.

Step 8: Complete Linking

After all the necessary steps have been completed, you should see a success message indicating that your channel has been successfully linked to the Controller Bot. This marks the end of the setup process.

Step 9: Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, you can contact support. For example, you can send an email to tobyberg1@hotmail.com to get assistance.
