How to connect a chat
How to connect a Telegram group to MGRAM and earn from Reply Ads and force subscribe: bot rights, from 200 members, review, pause, and removal.
You can connect a Telegram group or supergroup to MGRAM in a few minutes and earn from it. Two formats run in the group: Reply Ads — an ad only the member who wrote sees — and force subscribe, where members subscribe before they can write. You receive 70% of every placement: $1.12 per 1,000 Reply Ads impressions at the base price and from $0.0103 per subscription. Two conditions: you are an administrator of the group, and it has at least 200 members. A Telegram channel itself can't be connected — for a channel you connect its comments group.
What can be connected
| Resource | Can be connected | What works in it |
|---|---|---|
| A group or supergroup where you are an administrator, including forum groups with topics | Yes | Reply Ads and force subscribe |
| A channel's discussion group — the comments chat | Yes, as a regular group | Reply Ads and force subscribe |
| A Telegram channel | No | — |
| A Telegram bot | Yes, separately — How to add a bot | Broadcasts, Reply Ads, and force subscribe |
There are no ad broadcasts in groups: they go only to bots. Both public and private groups are supported.
What you need first
- You are the creator or an administrator of the group. If a regular member tries to connect it, the bot replies: “Only an administrator of the chat can connect it”.
- The group has at least 200 members — otherwise it can't be sent for review.
- @mgram becomes an administrator of the group with the “Delete messages” right. Without it the connection won't finish and force subscribe can't work.
- A chat can be connected to only one MGRAM account. If someone else has already connected it, the bot says “This chat is already connected by another user”.
How to connect
- Open @mgram → “My bots & chats” → “Connect a bot or chat” → “Chat”.
- Step 1 of 3 — “The bot in the chat”. Tap “Add to chat”, pick the group, and confirm the administrator rights: “Delete messages” is already ticked.
- Step 2 of 3 — “Category”. Go back to @mgram — the next step arrives by itself. Choose the chat's topic: it helps advertisers find the right audience.
- Step 3 — review. You'll get “The chat was sent to review”, and after the check — a notification with the result.
You can also start in the web panel app.mgram.biz: the “Connect a chat” button gives the same link for adding the bot to the group.
If the bot was added without the delete right, you'll see the “Administrator rights” step. Tap “Make the bot an administrator” or turn the right on by hand: the group → “Administrators” → @mgram → “Delete messages”. Connecting continues by itself; to check right away, tap “Check rights”.
The chat is stuck in “Connecting”
Until connecting is finished, the chat has the status “Connecting” in “My bots & chats”. It goes to review by itself as soon as three things are true:
- The chat's category is chosen — “Step 2 of 3 — Category”.
- @mgram is an administrator of the group with the “Delete messages” right.
- The group has at least 200 members.
Open the chat in “My bots & chats” — the bot shows what is missing:
- the right is missing — the “Make the bot an administrator” and “Check rights” buttons;
- no category — the list of topics;
- too few members — “At least 200 members needed”, the current count, and the “Check again” button. MGRAM also re-counts the members by itself regularly: once the group reaches the number, the chat goes to review and you get “The chat was sent to review”.
Changed your mind? The same screen has a “Delete this chat” button.
Review
- A moderator checks that the topic matches the chat's content, that the chat is alive, and that it doesn't break the platform rules. If the chat is rejected, the reason is shown in its card.
- MGRAM also looks at what people write in the chat. If almost every message is an ad (a services chat, a mutual PR chat, an ad board, spam), the chat is approved without Reply Ads: in such chats ads reach spammers, not people. Force subscribe works there as usual. If you think this is a mistake, write to support.
- After approval you'll get “Chat approved!” with a “Configure chat” button.
After approval, turn on Reply Ads and force subscribe
Right after approval both formats are off. Open “My bots & chats” → your chat → “Settings”:
- “Reply Ads settings” — turn Reply Ads on, manual order moderation, blocked topics, casino, 18+;
- “Force subscribe settings” — turn it on, who sees it, how many tasks, how often to repeat, the white list, own resources, and design.

The chat card
- Parameters: category, date added, readiness (which formats work), members, active in 7 days, messages today.
- Finance: all-time profit, today's profit, pending profit.
- “Manage all chat orders” — the Reply Ads orders that ran in your group.
- “Statistics” — details by day.
Pause, rights, and removal
- “Pause” in the chat settings stops Reply Ads and force subscribe; “Resume” turns them back on.
- If @mgram is removed from the group or loses the “Delete messages” right, the chat pauses by itself and you get a notification. Add the bot back as an administrator or return the right — the chat resumes by itself.
- “Delete this chat”: Reply Ads and force subscribe stop at once, statistics and earnings stay. You can remove the bot from the group afterwards.
How much a group earns
| Format | Owner earnings |
|---|---|
| Reply Ads | 70% of the price — $1.12 per 1,000 impressions at the base price |
| Force subscribe: a channel subscription or chat join | from $0.0103 |
| Force subscribe: a bot start | from $0.00937 |
How many orders a group gets is not known in advance: it depends on how many members write and on advertiser demand. Earnings go to your account balance; withdrawals are via CryptoBot or in USDT on TON from $6.09, see Withdrawals. Terms in detail — Monetize a Telegram group.
FAQ
Can I connect a channel?
No, a channel can't be connected to MGRAM. Connect its discussion group — see A channel's comments group — or the channel's bot.
Will the group get broadcasts?
No. Ad broadcasts go only to bots; groups have Reply Ads and force subscribe.
Will every member see the ads?
No. A Reply Ad and the force subscribe window arrive as a message only one member sees — the one who wrote. The group's shared feed stays clean.
Do administrators see force subscribe?
No. The group's administrators and you never see it. More about force subscribe — Telegram force subscribe.
