Commands cheatsheet

A list of all bot commands and what they do.

/about

Use this, followed by a description for your page, to craete an About section for your Stream.

Example usage: /about This is a really cool stream, trust me.

/clean

Sometimes, you might delete a Telegram message without first using the /delete command to remove the associated Drop from your Stream. This is when you need to use /clean, followed by the ID of the Drop (which you can get using the /mydrops command), to accomplish what /delete would.

Example usage: /clean 53901890342400359

/delete

Reply to a message with this command to remove it from your Stream. You can delete the message itself, but only after you’ve done this.

/editor

Returns a link to your theme editor, the page that lets you customise your Stream’s style using CSS.

/export

Returns the URL at which your ready-to-export Markdown data is available.

/faq

Returns a list of frequent user queries, and their answers.

/info

Will display information about the Streams project, and basic usage instructions.

/keyphrase

Returns the three word keyphrase that acts as authentication for private Streams, exports, and the theme-editor.

/mydrops

Returns a list of your last ten Drops, with their associated IDs, usually used with the /clean command.

/newkeyphrase

Use this command if you want to change your keyphrase. Useful in cases where you feel like the security your keyphrase has been compromised. If you’ve only forgotten your keyphrase, use the /keyphrase command instead.
