Self-hosted, and your token stays private

  • Code generation runs entirely in your browser. Your bot token goes straight into the downloaded .env file and is never sent to BotForge servers.
  • You own the generated TypeScript code. Download it, edit it, and run it on your own machine, VPS, or a host like Railway or Render.
  • No platform lock-in. There is nothing to keep paying for once your bot is running.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Telegram welcome bot?

Enable the welcome message feature in the BotForge wizard, write your greeting, optionally add a photo or GIF, and generate the bot. It greets every new member automatically.

Can the welcome include a picture or GIF?

Yes. The welcome with photo or GIF feature sends an image or animation along with your greeting caption.

Can I show rules to new members?

Yes. Add the rules command so members can read your group rules, and reference them in the welcome message.

Does my bot token stay private?

Yes. Generation runs in your browser and the token is written into your downloaded .env file. It is never sent to BotForge servers.
