✅ Adding Trench Bot To Your Group

1️⃣ Add Trench Bot

There are two ways to add the bot to your group:

1. From the bot’s profile: Go to the bot’s profile, click Add to Group or Channel, and select your group.

1. From a conversation with the bot: Start a private chat with the bot. Once it creates a wallet and you've saved your private key, select Add Bot to Group from the main menu.

2️⃣ Verify Admin Permissions

Once the bot is in the group, ensure the correct admin permissions are toggled. If everything is set correctly, the bot will send a message to your group with the next steps.

3️⃣ Set Up Your Wallet

If you added the bot manually (without starting a private message), make sure to set up your wallet. Go to the bot’s messages and click “Start” to generate a default Trench Bot wallet. Save your private key and click “Next.” This step is crucial to begin earning ETH from your group’s trading volume and referrals.

4️⃣ Make Your First Call & Start Earning

Once your wallet is ready, 🪖Make a Call in your group and start inviting members to join. As they start trading through Trench Bot, you’ll earn both 🤑Referral rewards and from your 💸 Group’s Trading Volume!

🤝 Granting Admin Permissions to Trench Bot

Trench Bot needs the correct admin permissions to function properly in your group. This ensures that it can track calls, manage rankings, and help you earn ETH from your group’s trading volume.

Steps to Verify and Grant Permissions:

1️⃣ Check the Admin List

• After adding Trench Bot, go to your Telegram group’s native settings.

• Navigate to Administrators and see if Trench Bot is listed.

2️⃣ Add the Bot if Missing

• If Trench Bot isn’t in the admin list, add it as an administrator.

3️⃣ Enable the Required Permissions

• Once Trench Bot is added, verify that it has the correct permissions.

• Toggle the following permissions:

After granting these permissions, you’re all set. Trench Bot will now be able to perform its functions seamlessly.

🔐 Setting Your Group's Privacy

Default Behavior:

When you add Trench Bot to your group, it automatically allows members to join freely, using a non-admin approval link. As your group climbs the leaderboard, more members will naturally want to join and participate.

🔒 Making Your Group Exclusive:

If you’d rather keep your group more private:

1️⃣ Open Trench Bot’s menu by going to your private DMs with the bot.

2️⃣ Navigate to Settings > Trench Privacy.

3️⃣ Toggle Require Approval ON.

With this setting enabled, you’ll manually approve new join requests, giving you more control over who enters your Trench.

⚠️ Important Note:

A smaller group means less trading activity and lower volume. If you’re aiming to maximize referrals and earnings, leaving the group open to anyone might be the better choice. Just remember to keep an eye out for scammers and manage your Trench carefully.
