Campaign bots

Telegram and Discord referrals that reach real people.

Community campaigns in Telegram and Discord work when rewards reach real people. A campaign bot tracks referrals and tasks automatically, holds back duplicate and automated accounts before any reward goes out, and shows your team the campaign as it runs.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

Real people, real rewards

Accounts are checked for duplicates and automation before a reward is granted, so the budget reaches your community.

Tracked without spreadsheets

Referrals and tasks are counted by the bot, with a leaderboard members can see.

Rules you control

Rewards follow rules the team sets in the dashboard, and every grant is logged.

Both platforms, one campaign

Telegram and Discord share the same links, tasks and rules, reported in one place.

Referral campaign bot

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A brand runs community campaigns in Telegram and Discord, tracks referrals and tasks in a spreadsheet, and pays out rewards to bots and duplicate accounts.

// What we would build

A bot for Telegram and Discord that issues each member a referral link, tracks tasks and referrals, checks for duplicate and automated accounts before any reward is granted, and gives the marketing team a dashboard of the campaign as it runs.

// questions

Questions we get about this.

How does the campaign bot spot fake accounts?

It looks at account age, activity, linked identities and patterns across referrals, and holds suspicious accounts for a person to review rather than rejecting them outright.

Can the bot hand out discount codes or points?

Yes, through your store or loyalty system. Rewards are issued by rules you set and recorded in the log.

Can we reuse the referral bot for the next campaign?

Yes. Campaigns are set up in the dashboard, so the next one does not need a developer.
