Why do you need to spend 3 days to verify the Telegram customer service system first?

Before purchasing any SaaS tool, trying it yourself is the most effective way to make a decision. This is especially true for customer service systems—it directly affects customer experience and team collaboration efficiency. 3 days is enough time to complete the following core milestones:

Core verification objectives for 3-day trial period

• Day 1: Bot activation and basic settings — Create or access the Bot, bind it to the TG-Staff console, and confirm that messages are sent and received normally.
• Day 2: Agent and diversion configuration — Add agent accounts, set session diversion rules, and test reception of multiple agents at the same time.
• Day 3: Real conversation practice and first order reception - simulate the customer consultation process, test conversation transfer, automatic reply and user portrait recording.

After completing these three steps, you can clearly judge whether this Telegram customer service system trial meets your business needs.

Which teams are most suitable for this solution?

• Cross-Border Teams: Use Telegram as the main customer communication channel and require multi-language support.
• Web3 Project Party: The community is active in Telegram and needs a customer service system to handle user inquiries. At the same time, it hopes to monitor sensitive content (such as wallet addresses) sent by agents.
• Overseas Marketing Team: To divert traffic to Bot through advertising or social media, it is necessary to track user sources and conversion links.
• SMB and Entrepreneurial Team: Hope to reduce the need to switch between multiple tools and manage Bot customer service, automatic replies and mass messaging in a unified web console.

Step 1: Activate your Telegram Bot and connect to TG-Staff

Create a new Bot vs access an existing Bot

Scenario	Operation steps	Precautions
Create a new Bot	Search @BotFather on Telegram → Enter /newbot → Set name and username → Get Token	Token will only be displayed once, it is recommended to copy and save immediately
Connect to an existing Bot	Obtain the Token of an existing Bot (@BotFather → /mybots → Select Bot → API Token)	Make sure the Token is not occupied by other platforms; if you have set up a Webhook using BotFather, you need to clear it first

Both methods are supported. When connecting to an existing Bot, it is recommended to check whether the “Inline Mode” or “Group Privacy” settings are enabled in BotFather. These will not affect the normal use of TG-Staff.

Specific steps:

1. Log in to TG-Staff Console.
2. Enter the “Project” page → click “New Project”.
3. Enter the project name, paste the Bot Token, and click Save.
4. The system automatically verifies the validity of the token and establishes the connection.

3 checkpoints to verify Bot activation

• Checkpoint 1: The “Project” page of the console displays the Bot status as “Online” green mark.
• Checkpoint 2: Send any message (such as “Hello”) to your Bot, and the Bot should automatically reply with a welcome message (if visual command flow is configured).
• Checkpoint 3: Open the “Conversation” page of the console. The message just now should appear in the “Pending” list. You can click to enter the Web agent interface to reply.

If the above three points are passed, it means that the Bot has been successfully activated. If the Bot status shows “Offline”, please check whether the Token is correct, or contact @tgstaff_robot customer service.

Step 2: Configure agent and team collaboration environment

Add agents and assign project permissions

The free trial supports 3 agent quotas. It is recommended to configure at least 2 agents to test session transfer and team collaboration.

Operating steps:

1. Enter the “Agent” page of the console → click “Add Agent”.
2. Enter the agent name, login email (as account number) and password.
3. In “Project Permissions”, check the Bot projects that the agent can handle (you can select all or specify some).
4. After saving, the agent will receive the login information and can log in to the web portal through app.tg-staff.com.

After the agent logs in, the interface will display a list of all authorized project sessions. Each agent can only see conversations within his or her own authority to ensure information security.

Set session diversion rules: rotating distribution vs online priority

Conversation offloading determines which agent will handle new customer inquiries. TG-Staff provides two strategies:

Diversion strategy	Applicable scenarios	Configuration steps
Rotate distribution (default)	Agent online time is fixed and load balancing requirements are high	Enter project settings → Session offloading → Select “Rotate distribution” → Confirm
Online Priority	Agents spend scattered online time and want quick response	Enter project settings → Session offloading → Select “Online Priority” → Save

• Rotate allocation: Poll authorized agents in order, suitable for teams with consistent agent working hours, ensuring that everyone has a similar reception volume.
• Online Priority: Priority will be assigned to the currently online agents. If all agents are offline, they will be assigned in turn. Suitable for teams with agents working shifts or part-time jobs.

Recommendation: Test the “online first” strategy first during the trial period, because it is closer to the actual customer service scenario - customers want to get a reply as soon as possible instead of waiting for an agent who is not online.

Step 3: Use the diversion link to open the complete link to customer service

Diversion link (magic link) is one of the core functions of TG-Staff. It directly converts clicks on advertisements, social media or official websites into Bot sessions, realizing a complete link from traffic drainage to manual agent handling.

**Why use diversion links? **

• Track Source: The link automatically captures the visitor’s IP address, browser information, operating system, screen resolution, and URL parameters (such as utm_source).
• Advertising Attribution: You can generate independent links for different channels (such as Facebook ads, Twitter posts, email marketing) and compare the traffic drainage effects of each channel.
• Reduce Churn: Users will jump directly to the Telegram Bot after clicking the link, without the need to manually search or copy the Bot name, reducing the bounce rate.

Configuration steps:

1. Enter project settings → “Diversion Link” → click “Generate Link”.
2. The system generates a short link (format such as https://app.tg-staff.com/{code}).
3. Embed the link in ad copy, social media profiles or official website buttons.
4. After the user clicks, the Telegram Bot will automatically open and trigger a welcome message or automatic reply.
5. When the user requires manual assistance, the session will automatically enter the agent queue and be allocated according to the diversion rules.

During the trial period, it is recommended to generate 2-3 diversion links for different channels (such as one for Twitter and one for the official website), and then check the click and session data of each channel on the “Statistics” page of the console to verify the traffic diversion effect.

Step 4: Simulate first order reception - from user consultation to problem solving

This is a key step in verifying whether the customer service system is suitable for the business. It is recommended to arrange for 2 people to cooperate: one person plays the role of a customer (sending a message to the Bot through Telegram), and the other person plays the role of an agent (replying on the web console).

Simulation process:

1. Customer initiates consultation: The customer sends a message to the Bot (such as “Hello, I would like to inquire about product prices”).
2. Automatic reply guidance: If the visual command process is configured, the Bot will automatically reply to the menu or FAQ first.
3. Manual agent takes over: The message enters the Web agent interface, and the agent clicks “Access” to start the conversation.
4. Response and Resolution: The agent enters the reply on the web interface, and the customer receives it on Telegram in real time.
5. Record user portrait: Agents can add tags, notes or custom fields in the “User Information” panel on the right side of the session.

Test session transfer and collaboration

• Session Transfer: In the web agent interface, click the “Transfer” button, select the target agent, and the session will be automatically transferred after confirmation. The transferred agent will be notified.
• Private Notes (Professional version): Agents can add internal notes (visible only to agents) in the conversation to record customer needs, follow-up matters, etc., without affecting the chat content seen by customers.

It is recommended to test a complete transfer process: agent A accesses → adds a note → transfers to agent B → agent B continues to reply after seeing the note. This can verify that team collaboration is smooth.

Decision list after the 3-day trial period

Before your trial expires, use the following checklist to evaluate whether it’s worth paying for:

• ✅ Is **Bot activation smooth? ** Are messaging and automatic replies working properly?
• ✅ **Is the agent collaboration smooth? ** Do simultaneous reception of multiple agents, conversation transfer, and sticky notes meet the needs of the team?
• ✅ **Is the session diversion strategy effective? ** Are customers assigned to online agents appropriately? Are there any cases where no one answers for a long time?
• ✅ **How ​​effective is the diversion link? ** Do the click and session conversion data for each channel match expectations?
• ✅ **Do you need content risk control or automatic translation? ** If the team needs to monitor sensitive content sent by agents (such as wallet addresses), or requires multi-language translation, the Professional version is more suitable.
• ✅ **Does the team size exceed the free quota? ** The free trial supports 3 agents, 3 for the Standard version and 20 for the Professional version. If the team is larger, it is recommended to choose the professional version directly.

If the answer to most of the above is “yes”, it means that this Telegram Customer Service System Trial solution is suitable for your business. Choose the standard version or the professional version (see the official website package page for price details) and you can continue to use it.

FAQ

Question: Can I experience all functions during the 3-day trial period?

Answer: Yes. TG-Staff’s free trial provides a complete functional experience, including real-time two-way chat, conversation offloading, offloading links (standard version and above), automatic translation (standard version includes AI translation), etc. Some advanced features such as content risk control and unlimited translation require the professional version, but they can also be experienced during the trial period.

Q: Will my data and configuration be lost after the trial period ends?

Answer: No. After the trial expires, your Bot configuration, agent settings, session records and other data will be retained. Simply renew your subscription and your service will be restored immediately.

Question: I only have one Bot, how many seats do I need?

A: It depends on your customer service volume. Small teams (within an average of 50 consultations per day) usually require 2-3 agents. The TG-Staff free trial provides 3 agent quotas, which is sufficient for verification. If the customer service volume is large, it is recommended to test the “online priority” offloading strategy during the trial period to ensure that customers do not queue up during high load.

Question: What data can the diversion link (magic link) track?

A: Diversion links can capture a visitor’s IP address, browser information, operating system, screen resolution, and URL parameters (such as utm_source). These data can be used for advertising attribution, comparison of multi-channel traffic effects, and help you optimize customer acquisition channels.

Question: Can I pay for subscriptions with USDT?

Answer: Yes. TG-Staff supports Stripe credit card payment and USDT (TRC20) on-chain payment. When “changing packages” in the console, you can choose USDT payment, which is suitable for teams that prefer cryptocurrency payment.
