Learn to use Rick on Telegram

Did you know it’s possible to turn the contract responder off and there’s a very easy way to fix wrong tokens showing up?

Most of these things are documented briefly somewhere, but I wanted to do a quick overview of the most common fixes for common problems, as well as just give some tips on how to use Rick.

Wrong token is showing

You can do two things.

  1. Use /z pepe 2 or 3 to get the next result (works with any query).
  2. Set a token filter for your group (any member can do this): /rickfix pepe 0x...

Do not respond to contracts

Use /autoresponder off to prevent the bot from responding to contracts and chart links. As a result, pricebot will not show up anymore, but it can still be used by querying with /z or /x.

Use /noresultmode off to only have the bot respond if there is an active trading pair.

Ignore cashtags

If you want to prevent a response on $cashtags, you can turn this feature off with /cashtags off. This feature is useful for channels that have Rick in their discussion channel and want to trigger the bot when they use $cashtags in updates.

Pricemode

You can switch the default pricemode for the autoresponder and $cashtag responder with pricemode sim or adv.

The default mode (adv) will show a detailed price embed when you paste a contract. This is similar to using /x. You can try the difference quickly by running /z pepe and /x pepe.

By design, /z is meant to be used for a price check; it will show a minimalistic embed with compact information and keep your chat clean. You can default to this view by running /pricemode sim (for simple).

CoinGecko tokens

For non-DEX tokens, you can use /a doge to query information from CoinGecko. To get the next result, use /a doge 2.

Quick X Project info

Use /moni blur_io to get a quick scan of any Twitter/X account. This data is available in full on Moni Discover.

Reminders

Set quick reminders for anything. See: Using reminders

Alpha Pings

Since @everyone is not a feature in Telegram, we can use pins to ping all members. Only admins can use this command. Having a title is sufficient. There are three ways to use this.

  • Just send /ping.
  • Reply with /ping to a message.
  • Send /ping <message here>.

Just try them out and see the difference in execution for yourself.

[!notice] Rick needs pin permissions for the remind/ping features to be effective.

Wubba (ping)

Type /wubba for a simple response check. You can use this to check if the bot is down. A successful response should say: “Burp… Ping! That took about… 113ms, Morty.”
