Create a reel in Mate bot (Telegram)

Hi! This is an instruction on how to create a reel in Mate Bot (@WaveMateBot) for Telegram. Word "instruction" to not misguide you: reel creation is fairly simple and can be done in few steps at most.

Button in the Mate Bot

Create a profile and add Mate Bot to your group.

First of all, register in Mate Bot by entering name.
Then add Mate Bot to your Telegram group as you would do with ordinary user: open group description -> choose "Add members" -> enter Mate Bot name -> choose it and press "Add".

How "Add members" button looks at Telegram. Just look for highlighted icon.

Alright, a new reel in the bot must be created. You should receive confirmation message from the Mate Bot. Check the direct messages with the bot:

👍If you received the confirmation message - it's all set! You've been added to your reel automatically.

👇If you haven't received the message from bot, it means reel was not created (yet). It happens when you are an anonymous admin of the group.

Common group members (and bot too) cannot see group's anonymous admins. So, the Mate Bot probably hasn't found you among members to assign you a reel creator status.

You should create a reel with bot command. To do it:

- Make the bot an admin too. You can see the sequence for smartphone at screens below:

How to make the Mate Bot an admin.
In desktop version of Telegram you can just right-click the bot name in the list of group members and choose "Promote to admin"

3. Great, now the bot recognizes you as a member. Time to create your reel with a command!

Go to the group text input field -> past text "@WaveMateBot /create_reel" in the text field -> take a moment, see inline query result -> choose "Create a reel" option proposed:

Here "@WaveMateBot" is a call to inline mode of the bot and "/create_reel" - inline query for manual reel creation command.

That's it, congratulations! You've successfully created a Mate reel for your group and joined it. Now it's time to invite other members and know more about them with the Mate Bot!
