Configuring Group Settings

Configuring Group Settings

Group settings let you adjust the Telegram group currently selected in Metricgram.

Accessing Settings

Select the group you want to edit and open Group settings from the dashboard.

Group details

You can update the group title and description. When saved, Metricgram attempts to apply those changes to the Telegram group as well.

Custom Telegram bot

The Admin bot token field lets this group send Metricgram messages through your own Telegram bot instead of the standard Metricgram bot. Create the bot with @BotFather, add it to the same Telegram group as an administrator, and paste the token here.

If the field is cleared after a custom bot has been configured, Metricgram removes the custom token and the group goes back to the standard bot.

Group permissions

The permissions section controls the default chat permissions Metricgram applies in Telegram, such as whether members can send messages, polls, media, links, invite users, pin messages, or manage topics.

These are default permissions for regular group members; they do not change administrators' separate rights. To apply a change, the Metricgram bot must still be an administrator with permission to restrict members. If Telegram rejects the change, Metricgram reports a save error instead of applying it.

Group removal

Delete group permanently removes the Metricgram group and its group-scoped activity, member, automation, subscription, and report records. If the group has a public directory listing, deleting the group unlinks the listing but does not delete it; remove or update that listing separately. Metricgram also tries to make the standard bot leave the Telegram group. This does not delete the Telegram chat or its messages, and it cannot be undone in Metricgram. Download any member or message CSVs and print any reports you may need first; see Accessing and Exporting Data.

What is not configured here

Automations such as welcome messages, scheduled messages, summaries, triggers, AI chatbots, subscribers, and invite links have their own sections in the dashboard.
