How to Set Up Postbacks via Telegram

1. Find the contact @BotFather in the general search and select /start.

2. We need to create a bot, through which we will receive notifications about new leads. To do this, select the command /newbot.

3. You need to set a name for the chatbot, for example, "New Leads". Next, create a username that ends in _bot, for example: "traffink_bot".

4. The bot has been created and is ready for setup. Save the bot's token somewhere safe.

5. Find the bot in the general search. In our case, we are searching for traffinkytest01_bot.

6. Select /start and send a few messages to the bot.

7. Go to the link: https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates

where is your bot's token. You can find it in the last message from BotFather. 

Replace it along with the "< >" symbols; they should not be in the link.

8. If only this appears, send the bot a few more messages and reload the page.

9. If everything is correct, the following message should appear:

From this, take your ID — it is usually indicated on the second line: {"id":HERE,"is_bot":false…

10. Check that the bot is working correctly.

Go to the link: https://api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage?chat_id=&text=test

Replace:

• — with your bot's token from BotFather;
• — with your ID, which you got from the browser link in step 9.

Replace it along with the "< >" symbols; they should not be in the link.

If everything is correct, the bot will send the message: "test".

Save the resulting link and proceed to the next step.

11. Connect the postback:

Go to your personal account in the section "PR Tools" → "Links" and click on the chain icon.

The postback settings window will open. When the designated event occurs, information will be sent to the bot from four fields:

Registration — triggers when a player completes registration.

Revenue — triggers when a player affects your balance in the affiliate program. Even if one player enters to spin slots, every game in the slot will be recorded, and the bot may temporarily freeze. 

It is not recommended to set this postback to send information to the bot.

Deposit — triggers when a player makes the first and subsequent deposits.

First Deposit — triggers when a player makes their first deposit.

As a rule, only the "Registration" and "First Deposit" fields are used.

In the fields, enter the link you saved earlier in step 10:

https://api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage?chat_id=&text=test

If you did not save the link, replace:

• — with your bot's token (from BotFather);
• — with your ID, which you got from the browser link in step 9;
• test — change to the required macros.

Examples of macros:

Registration:

https://api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage?chat_id=&text={user_id}

First Deposit:

https://api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage?chat_id=&text={user_id}:deposit:{amount}

Macro {user_id} — sends the gaming account ID to the bot.

Macro {amount} — sends the deposit amount to the bot.

Apply the same links with macros to the promo codes you use for advertising. They are located in the section "PR Tools" → "Promo Codes".
