What is a Telegram bot?
A bot is a Telegram account that replies to people and performs a chosen task automatically. Start with the outcome: protect a group, download files, receive messages, help visitors or sell products.
If you want to moderate a group and stop spam, begin with Group Protection.
To collect anonymous messages from your audience, choose Anonymous Msg.
