Add to a group

Step by step: from adding the bot to your first protection setup

  1. 1
    Add the bot
    Open @DefensorGroupsBot → “Add to group”
  2. 2
    Make it an admin
    Enable: Ban users, Delete messages
  3. 3
    Activate the chat
    Send /help in the group — and it will appear in the bot's settings (/settings in a private chat with @DefensorGroupsBot). Without this step, the group won't be in the list.
  4. 4
    Open settings
    In a private chat with the bot, send /settings → select your group from the list → configure modules with buttons
  5. 5
    Enable protection
    Section “Protection” → enable AntiBot and PastedSpam with buttons — the basic minimum
  6. 6
    Assign moderators
