Continuing the discussion from Setting up the parameters of the Simplebot:
Can someone instruct me how to change the Avatar and Name of my Simplebot instance? I see that it can be done, but I’m not sure how to actually do it.
hi @axe, use simplebot --help to see all the available options, there you will find that you can use:
simplebot set_name "My Funny Bot"
and to set avatar:
simplebot set_avatar ~/images/funny-bot.jpg
to set the bot signature/status/bio:
simplebot set_status "hi, I am a bot, send me /help for more info"
to change arbitrary low-level delta chat settings:
simplebot set_config delete_server_after 1
(the above command sets the messages auto-deletion from server/INBOX to “immediately”, use simplebot set_config without any parameter to see all available DC-core settings to tweak but use with care)
NOTE: we have a “bot developers” anonymous super group where people ask stuff about bots, since I am most of the time in Delta Chat and not much in any other site on internet, I recommend you to join there as well, check Contribute - Delta Chat there you can find the super-groups-bot address and instructions on how to get the list of super groups and channels
Yup. I’m a member there … asking questions there too. lol. Thanks for the help on the avatar and name.
