Test, Run & Deploy

The three ways to run your bot — offline sandbox, local 24/7, and server 24/7.

There are three ways to run a bot, for three different moments.

Test (offline sandbox) — Free

Click Test to chat with your bot inside the app, without Telegram and without a deploy. The sandbox runs your saved graph locally, so you can iterate in seconds. Great for checking logic and branches.

Run (local, 24/7 while open) — Free

Click Run to start the real bot using its Telegram token. It talks to Telegram by long-polling (the bot reaches out to Telegram — no inbound server needed), so it runs as long as the app is open on your computer.

Deploy (server, 24/7 with PC off) — Paid

Click Deploy to ship the bot to our servers, where it runs 24/7 even with your computer off. This is part of the paid plan and requires an active subscription. See Deploy & billing.

Export your bot — Free

The Export button saves your bot’s configuration to a .json file — the “source” of your bot. Keep it as a backup, share it, or import it back later.
