How can I broadcast to my bot users?

To send a newsletter to users of your bot, go to /mybots, select your bot and click “Broadcast”. Next you need to select a broadcasting option:

1. “Send to everyone” is the old mailing list. All bot users will receive your message.
2. “To all who connected after…” is the ability to send only to those users who started using your bot after the specified date.
3. “To all who connected before…” is the ability to send only to those users who started using your bot before the specified date.
4. “Anyone with a username” - only to users who have a username.
5. “Each N of all” - let’s say, out of 100 people, a message will be sent to every 10 (can be configured).
6. “To all active” - those who were active during the specified period.
7. “To all from file” - large bots may require some special mechanism for aggregating users for broadcasting, so they can download the anonymized database of their users with the /my_users command, remove some recipients from the received file, and send newsletter to the remaining users
8. “English / Russian / other languages” – send only to English-speaking / Russian-speaking users. For administrators whose bot is designed for different language groups.

Then create the post itself. It is acceptable to use HTML markup. Send /done when the post is ready to go.
