Help Commands

Complete guide to Help module commands and features

📦 Help Commands

The main entry point and navigation system for Alita Robot.

  • /start: Show the welcome message with navigation menu.
  • /help: Show help menu with module list; use /help for details.
  • /about: Show bot information, version, and useful links.
  • /donate: Show donation information for supporting the project.

Navigation System: The Help module provides the bot’s main entry points and navigation. When a user sends /start in a private chat, the bot displays a welcome message with an inline keyboard for navigating to different modules.

The /help command shows a module list. Clicking a module button displays that module’s commands and usage information. When /help is used in a group chat, the bot redirects the user to a private message for detailed help to avoid cluttering the group.

/about shows bot information, version, and links, while /donate shows donation information for supporting the project.

Required Permissions

Commands in this module are available to all users.

Configuration Wizard

Accessible from the /about keyboard via the Configuration button (configuration callback prefix), the wizard walks new users through setting up Alita in three steps:

  1. Step 1 — Add Alita to a group (deep-link button + “Done”).
  2. Step 2 — Promote Alita to admin with recommended permissions (instructions + “Done”).
  3. Step 3 — Continue to Help module to explore commands.

The wizard is PM-only and uses English regardless of user language setting.

When /start is used with a parameter in private chat, the bot resolves it as a deep link:

Prefix Example Behavior
help_ start=help_admin Opens help for a specific module
connect_ start=connect_-1001234 Connects user to that group in PM
rules_ start=rules_-1001234 Shows the group’s rules
notes_ start=notes_-1001234 Lists all notes in the group (admin-only notes hidden from non-admins)
note_ start=note_-1001234_welcome Shows a specific note (respects admin-only flag)
