Plans Bot on Telegram
RSVP to events and manage your plans from Telegram
Last updated: July 17, 2026
1. Getting started
Search for the Shutterpaws Plans Bot in Telegram and send /start to begin. First time using it? Run
/setup to set your language, timezone, and notification preferences.
See Using the Plans Bot for how to sign in on the website and link this account to Discord or the website so your RSVPs and payments follow you everywhere.
2. RSVPing to an event
When an event is posted, tap one of the buttons on the event card to respond:
- ✅ Going
- 🤔 Maybe
- ❌ Not going
You can change your response any time by tapping a different button — your latest tap is what counts.
For events that require payment, picking "Going" opens a DM with your ticket type choices; your spot is held
pending payment. If you’re bringing guests, you’ll be asked to pick a ticket type for each one individually
— your party doesn’t have to all be on the same ticket type. If you already paid and want a pricier ticket
type, use /going — events you can upgrade show an "⬆️ Upgrade" button. Picking a new tier there starts the
upgrade: you stay confirmed at your current
tier until the extra amount is paid.

4. Sharing an event
Type @ followed by the bot’s username in any chat (an inline query) to search for and share an event card
into that chat.
Event cards also carry links for sharing further afield:
- 🐾 View on BARQ! — opens the event’s page on BARQ!, for events published there.
- 🦋 Post to Bluesky and 🐦 Post to Twitter — open a new post on that platform, already filled in with the event’s name, date, and a link. Nothing is posted until you review it and hit post yourself.
These appear only when the event’s organizer has allowed sharing, and the post links only when the event has a public page to link to.
