You Can Create a Bot for One Messenger and Then Convert It to Another

Conversion Limitations

Keep in mind that each messenger has its own requirements: message text length, button types, attachments, and so on. For example, it is currently not possible to copy a bot created for Instagram* to any other messenger.

During conversion, only elements supported by the new bot type are transferred. All other elements are removed.

  • If the bot contained a transition to another bot, this link is also removed.

  • If a step has a condition to transition via a link, you will need to select this step again in the new bot.

  • Pay attention to the character limit for button names: it varies by messenger. We recommend limiting button names to 20 characters.

After conversion, you need to review the bot and edit any inconsistencies.

How to Convert a Flow

  1. Open your multi-step bot and click on the settings icon.

  2. Select “Convert flow”.

  3. Enter a new name for a flow.

  4. Choose the channel for which you want to create a flow.

  5. Click the Convert button.


Conversion takes some time.
After successful conversion, you will see a message confirming the process and a link to the newly created flow.

You can follow the link and edit the flow.

Using this method, you can copy a flow for VKontakte and convert it to Telegram. Conversion also works for MAX — for example, you can convert a flow from Telegram to MAX. Learn more about setting up flows in MAX and conversion.

Important: you can convert a flow from Telegram to Instagram*, but you cannot convert a flow from Instagram* to Telegram.

Important: only flows can be converted, not subscribers. It is not possible to transfer subscribers between channels — a subscriber is tied to the channel where they gave permission to receive messages.
