Userbot Chat Monitoring

• Someone posts a message in any group your account is a member of
• The template notes the message text, which chat it came from, and who wrote it
• AI compares the message against your watch list — the things you said you care about
• Messages that do not matter are quietly skipped
• Messages that do matter become a short alert: the chat, the author with a direct t.me link, and the gist
• The official FlowCastle bot delivers the alert to you in Telegram — nothing is ever posted in the group itself

• Connect your Telegram account: open Settings → Bots, create a userbot, and scan the QR code with your phone.
• Link your Telegram under Settings → Notifications so the FlowCastle bot can deliver alerts to you.
• Describe your watch list in the watchScope variable — what is important enough to deserve an alert. Set reportLanguage if you want all alerts in one language.
• Post a test message in one of your groups (or ask a friend to) and check that the alert arrives from the FlowCastle bot.

Good to know

• A userbot is simply your own Telegram account connected to FlowCastle. You log in once by scanning a QR code — the same way you would sign in to Telegram on a new device.
• Because it is your account, it already sees every group you are in. No bot is added anywhere, no group settings change, and other members notice nothing.
• Alerts are delivered by the official FlowCastle bot in Telegram (with email as a fallback). Link your Telegram to your FlowCastle account once under Settings → Notifications, and every alert finds you there.
• Each alert names the chat and the author and includes a direct t.me link — one tap and you are talking to the lead. The link works whenever the sender has a public @username.
• Two variables control everything, in plain words and in any language: watchScope — what deserves an alert ("people looking for a contractor", "mentions of my product") — and reportLanguage — the language AI writes alerts in. By default alerts match the language of the message itself.
• The template only reads and alerts. It never replies in the groups it watches, because any reply would come from your personal account.
• AI screening runs on FlowCastle AI credits: with the default model, one screened group message costs about 1 credit, and the free plan includes 100 credits per month — enough to try it out.

Common questions

• What should trigger an alert: potential customers, brand mentions, urgent problems, conflicts — or anything notable?
• Should every chat be watched, or only some? You can name specific chats in the watch list.
• In what language should alerts be written — the same as the message, or one fixed language?

Keep in mind

• Alerts arrive privately from the FlowCastle bot. The template never posts in the groups it watches — anything sent there would look like a message from you personally.
• No bots are added to your groups and nothing changes for other members — the monitoring is invisible from the inside.
• Alert quality depends on your watch list: the more concretely you describe what matters, the fewer false alarms you get.
