The general questions section covers 16 typical situations that teams face when working with Chatterfy. Unlike Tracker Errorsand Telegram Errors, which cover errors in specific subsystems (Tracker and Telegram Bot API), this section includes questions about product setup and behavior as a whole: the bot, AI, media, broadcasts, operators, landing pages, and billing.
Each question is a separate article with a detailed breakdown (symptom, cause, solution steps, prevention). Below on this page is a live accordion with all 16 questions for quick scrolling search without navigating away. If the short answer is not enough, click “Learn more” in the relevant item.
Can't find your question?
Search (⌘K) searches the full text of all articles. If the symptom still does not show up, check the subcategories Tracker Errors(if the issue is in campaigns / postbacks / sources) and Telegram Errors(if the error comes from Telegram). If nothing fits, write to @chatterfy_support with the Bot ID, the time of the issue, and a description of the reproduction steps.



What people ask about here

All 16 questions fall into 5 major groups — see which one your symptom belongs to, then expand the relevant item in the accordion below.
— Bot behavior and lead intake. The bot stopped accepting leads, does not see the channel, follows the old funnel after importing a flow, does not wait for the lead’s reply, does not remove the reply keyboard. This is about Bot Settings+ Flow step types.
— AI and automation. AI replies slowly, does not skip a step even when the response is suitable, does not react to “correct” messages. This includes AI Settings — Bot Personality+ AI Models — Complete Guide to AI Models in Chatterfy.
— Media: voice messages, videos, video notes. Voice messages without a waveform, videos get compressed, you cannot send a video note. This is about file formats and codecs accepted by Telegram.
— Operators and chat assignment. All operators see other people’s chats; you cannot hide dialogs between managers. This includes Assign Manager — chat distribution+ Operator — assigning an operator.
— Landing pages, billing, and more. How to upload a custom landing page, what “balance below $100” means, uneven A/B, Contact / FD events are not tracked, how to restart a funnel for a lead.

Leads click links that are not tied to a campaign in Tracker, so Chatterfy counts them as organic. Use only links from Sources — Traffic Sources, or allow organic traffic in General — user journey. Full breakdown — The bot stopped accepting channel join requests — why?.

This is an informational reminder; the platform continues to work. Bots will stop only when the balance goes negative. After you top up, the notification disappears within 10–20 minutes. Details — Do I have to keep my balance above $100?.

Most often, this is due to delays in Delays — bot delays. Reduce Response time, AI Reply delay, and typing speed. If generation itself is slow, change the model in AI Models — Complete Guide to AI Models in Chatterfy to a lighter one. Details — AI takes a long time to respond / works slowly.

The channel is occupied by another lead handler, or the bot does not have the Manage Subscribers permission. Remove the bot from the channel and add it again with admin rights. Steps — Channel not visible when creating a channel campaign — how to fix it?.

After importing, check: Change flow steps, Custom condition, Send Message with inline buttons — these settings may lose their binding. Full list — I imported a flow, but the bot is still following the old funnel.

AI Reply always replies first by default, then checks routings. To skip it, enable Skip transition blocking on first run. Details — Why the AI Doesn't Skip a Step If the Lead Has Already Answered Appropriately.

On the required step, enable Finish Status = Waiting + Skip the transition to next step. Full breakdown — How to make the bot wait for a lead's reply.

An intermediate Send Message with the Hide Keyboard checkbox selected. Inline buttons are not removed this way — they disappear on their own when the message is deleted. See How to remove the keyboard (reply keyboard) for a lead.

Open the client card → Clear Chat at the bottom. After that, /start from the lead will launch the flow from the first step. Details — How do I restart a funnel for a lead?.

A ZIP archive with index.html in the root. Mark transition buttons with the tracker attribute — without href. Any tag with this attribute becomes a tracking link. See Requirements for Uploading a Custom Landing Page and Custom — your own ZIP archive.

On a small sample, this is normal. Wait until you have 200+ leads through A/B Router. If there is still a skew at 1000+, check the settings A/B Router — Random Distribution. Details — Uneven A/B testing — 90% to one branch, 10% to the other.

Только формат .ogg с кодеком opus даёт визуализацию громкости. Любой другой формат отображается как обычный аудиофайл. Перекодируйте через ffmpeg или онлайн-конвертер. См. Voice message without visualization (waveform).

No DM bot is specified in the campaign. Tracker doesn’t know which bot to look for the conversation in. Go to General — user journey and select DM Bot. Full breakdown — Why conversations and events are not tracked — only Subscribe.

The file must be square, use the H.265 codec, and be up to 10 MB. Otherwise, Telegram will send it as a regular video. Details — How to Send a Round Video Message (Video Note) Correctly.

Up to 10 MB + H.265 codec. The platform limit is 20 MB. For original quality, send it as a document (file). Details — How to avoid video compression when sending videos.

In General — basic bot settings (Assignment Managers), enable Show only assigned chat or Show assigned + unassigned chats. Assign leads via the Operator — assigning an operator step. Details — How to hide chats between agents.
