Templates
What are templates?
Templates are ready-made bot scenarios that serve as a starting point. A template contains a set of nodes, blocks, and logic tailored to a specific bot type—such as an online store, appointment booking, FAQ bot, quiz, etc.
Once you apply a template, you get a fully functional scenario that you can publish immediately or customize to suit your needs.
How to apply a template
- In the builder, click the "Templates" button in the header.
- Browse the catalog—templates are organized by category.
- Click on a template to view its preview.
- Click "Apply"—the entire scenario will load into your bot, replacing the current draft.
Applying a template replaces the current draft but does not affect the already published scenario. Publish the new version when you are ready.
Free and paid templates
- Free — available immediately, without restrictions.
- Paid — purchased using your account balance. Once purchased, the template remains available for all your bots indefinitely.
If you have a paid subscription plan, you can create public paid templates and earn money from them.
Creating your own template
If you want to save your scenario as a template (for reuse or to publish in the catalog):
- Open the finished scenario in the builder.
- Click "Add template" in the templates window.
- Enter a name, description, and category.
- Select visibility: private (for your use only) or public (visible to everyone in the catalog).
Template limitations
Templates do not store attached media files as file_ids; instead, they save the file URLs. This is necessary because the file_id is tied to a specific bot and cannot be transferred between bots. All files must be uploaded.
Tips
- Preview the template before applying it; this allows you to understand the scenario's structure and determine if it suits your needs.
- Private templates are useful as backups for successful scenarios or as starting points for new bots within the same niche.
- After applying a template, go through all the nodes and replace the placeholder text with your bot's actual content.
- When saving a public template, ensure that you do not include private keys in any API requests.
