# BotLaunch

> BotLaunch is a no-code platform for Telegram. It does two things: 165 module types manage your channel or group (moderation, analytics, AI, automation), and a Mini App builder turns the channel into a store, a booking page, or a property catalog that opens inside Telegram, with nothing to install. The same dashboard also runs courses, events, and appointments. One dashboard, 12 languages, free to start, no limit on members or messages.

## What is BotLaunch

BotLaunch turns the Telegram channel you already run into a store, no code, no website. You connect a bot, choose from 21 ready-made storefront designs, and edit the theme and content blocks to launch a Telegram Mini App shop where buyers browse a catalog and order right inside Telegram, nothing to install, no login. The same dashboard runs 165 no-code module types that keep the channel clean and growing (moderation, user management, automation, AI, analytics, engagement). You add our managed bot (@bot_launchbot) to a group (no bot creation required) and switch modules on from the web. The dashboard is available in 12 languages, there is a free plan, and no plan limits members or messages. (On the Business plan you can connect your own bot token for custom branding, and API access is included.)

## Telegram Mini App Store Builder (Telegram Shops)

BotLaunch is also a no-code Telegram Mini App store builder. You connect your bot, choose from 21 ready-made storefront designs, edit the theme and content blocks, and add products to a catalog from the dashboard, no code required. Buyers then browse the catalog, add items to a cart, and place an order entirely inside Telegram as a Mini App, with no separate app to install and no account to create to order. Orders are seller-fulfilled: the buyer places an order in the Mini App and you confirm it and collect payment your usual way. Native in-app card payments are not available yet; they are planned for a later phase. The 21 designs span verticals such as fashion, electronics, beauty, grocery, coffee, books, and gifts, and you can run a separate storefront per bot or channel from one account. The shop catalog is managed in the same web dashboard as the rest of the platform.

App pricing for Telegram Shops is its own set of plans, separate from the channel plans above:

- App Free: $0/mo for a limited number of products and orders, 1 storefront.
- App Starter: $19/mo for higher product and order limits.
- App Growth: $49/mo for a larger catalog and order volume.
- App Business: $99/mo for top product and order limits, plus white-label branding for the storefront.

## AI & API Access (AI Companion)

BotLaunch exposes a public REST API so you can drive the platform programmatically or with an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). You authenticate with a personal API key (prefix "bl_live_") passed as an "Authorization: Bearer" header. Keys are scoped (a positive allowlist: bots, modules, shop, analytics, broadcast, media) and rate-limited per plan, so a key can only do what you grant it and never reaches billing or admin. An AI-discovery endpoint, GET /api/v1/context, returns the account's plan, limits, granted scopes, and rate limit, so an AI can plan actions within your plan before making changes. The base URL is https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1. A hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is live at https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1/mcp: point any MCP-capable client (Cursor, Claude Code, or a custom MCP integration) at that URL with your API key as a Bearer token and BotLaunch appears as a native tool set of 12 tools (read account context, connect a bot, list and configure modules, send broadcasts, manage the Mini App shop's products, theme and content). Transport is Streamable HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0. AI assistants without MCP call the REST API with the same key directly.

- Base URL: https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1
- Auth: Authorization: Bearer bl_live_... (personal API key)
- MCP server (live): https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0; initialize, tools/list, tools/call; 12 tools)
- Discovery: GET /api/v1/context (plan, limits, scopes, rate limit)
- Scopes: bots:read/write, modules:read/write, shop:read/write, analytics:read, broadcast:send, media:write

## FAQ

Q: What is BotLaunch?
A: BotLaunch is a dual no-code Telegram platform. It is a bot/channel manager (you add our managed bot, @bot_launchbot, to your group and turn on any of 165 module types to manage, moderate, and monetize your community, no bot creation required), and it is a Telegram Mini App store builder, where you pick from 21 ready designs and edit a theme and content blocks to launch a storefront where buyers order inside Telegram. It works in 12 languages, has a free plan, and never limits members or messages.

Q: How does BotLaunch work?
A: You add our managed bot (@bot_launchbot) to your channel or group as an administrator, then enable and configure modules from the web dashboard. Each module (such as anti-spam, captcha, welcome messages, or paid memberships) has its own settings. No coding or bot creation is required and setup takes a few minutes. (On the Business plan you can instead connect your own bot token for custom branding.)

Q: How much does BotLaunch cost?
A: Pricing is per channel. The Free plan is $0/mo for 1 channel. Starter is $15/mo for 3 channels, Pro is $39/mo for 10 channels, and Business is $99/mo for unlimited channels. Annual billing is available at about a 20% discount. No plan limits the number of messages or members.

Q: Is there a free plan?
A: Yes. The Free plan covers 1 channel with basic modules (captcha, anti-spam, and welcome messages) plus basic analytics. No credit card is required to start.

Q: Do I need to know how to code to use BotLaunch?
A: No. BotLaunch is no-code. You enable and configure every module through the web dashboard, with no programming required. The Business plan also offers API access for teams that want to integrate programmatically, but the API is optional.

Q: How do I add the bot to my Telegram channel or group?
A: On the default plans you add our managed bot, @bot_launchbot, to your channel or group as an administrator, no bot creation needed. On the Business plan you can instead create your own bot token with Telegram's @BotFather and connect it for custom branding. Either way, once the bot is an admin you turn on the modules you want and configure them.

Q: What moderation features does BotLaunch include?
A: Moderation covers anti-spam, anti-flood, captcha for new members, warnings, ban management, forbidden words, and content filters. You can also filter users, apply tags, and verify members. Each control is a module you toggle on and configure per channel.

Q: How can I make money from my Telegram community with BotLaunch?
A: On the Business plan you can sell paid memberships and subscriptions, gate access to paid content, and run e-commerce and payment flows. This lets you charge for access to a channel or group and manage paying members from the dashboard.

Q: What languages does BotLaunch support?
A: The BotLaunch interface is available in 12 languages: English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Turkish, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Hindi, and Persian.

Q: How is BotLaunch different from single-purpose Telegram bots?
A: Many Telegram bots focus on one job, such as moderation only or welcome messages only. BotLaunch combines moderation, user management, automation, analytics, AI, engagement, and monetization into one no-code dashboard, with 165 module types you manage across all your channels in one place, and it also includes a Telegram Mini App store builder (21 ready designs, theme and content-block editor) so you can run a storefront from the same account. Your own branded bot and API access are available on the Business plan.

Q: Can I build a Telegram Mini App store with BotLaunch?
A: Yes. BotLaunch is a no-code Telegram Mini App store builder. You connect a bot, pick from 21 ready-made storefront designs, edit the theme and content blocks, and add products from the dashboard. Buyers then browse the catalog and place orders inside Telegram as a Mini App, with no install and no login. No coding is required, and there is a free App plan to start.

Q: Does BotLaunch limit messages or members?
A: No. None of the plans limit the number of messages or members. Plans are tiered by the number of channels and the set of modules available.

Q: Does BotLaunch have an API, and can I control it with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor)?
A: Yes. BotLaunch has a public REST API at https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1. You create a personal API key (prefix "bl_live_") and send it as an "Authorization: Bearer" header. Keys are scoped and rate-limited per plan, and a GET /api/v1/context endpoint lets an AI read your plan, limits, and permissions before acting, so any AI assistant that can call an HTTP API can connect a bot, configure modules (anti-spam, captcha, welcomes), and manage a Mini App store on your behalf. BotLaunch also runs a live hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1/mcp, so MCP-capable clients such as Cursor, Claude Code, or a custom integration connect BotLaunch as a native tool set of 12 tools with just that URL and your API key as a Bearer token.

Q: How do I connect an AI assistant to BotLaunch?
A: Two ways, both live. (1) MCP: in an MCP-capable client (Cursor, Claude Code, or a custom MCP integration) add the hosted MCP server at https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1/mcp with your API key as a Bearer token, and BotLaunch appears as a native tool set. (2) REST: give your API key and the base URL (https://api.botlaunch.io/api/v1) to any AI assistant that can call an HTTP API. Either way the AI first calls GET /api/v1/context to learn your plan and available scopes, then makes scoped calls to connect your bot and turn on modules.
