Connecting Max

Beta

The Max messenger integration is in beta. If something goes wrong, email support@parrotposter.com.

There are two ways to connect a Max channel or group in ParrotPoster — with the service bot or with your own bot. Below is the general guide; then what to do in the plugin.

Option 1: ParrotPoster bot

Add the bot to the channel

  1. Start a chat with the ParrotPoster bot so it appears in your Max contacts.
  2. Add the ParrotPoster bot to your channel: first as a member, then grant administrator rights.

Connect the channel in the service

  1. Copy your channel link or ID and paste it into the “Paste channel/group link or ID” field in the Max connection dialog.
  2. Click Connect. The channel should appear in your accounts list; you can then publish posts. If not, double-check the steps above and try again.

Option 2: Your own bot

Creating a bot

  1. Open the Max partner portal and register as a legal entity if you have not already.
  2. When the dashboard is ready, click Add bot (you can open this link directly).
  3. Fill in the bot details: name, phone, website link, description, and logo.
  4. Click Create. After moderation, the bot will be ready to use.

Adding the channel and token

  1. Start a chat with your bot so it appears in contacts: copy the bot ID (nickname), search for it in Max — the bot should show up in results.
  2. Open the channel and add your bot as a member first, then make it an administrator.
  3. On the bot page, under Integration, click Get token. Copy the token and paste it into “Paste your bot token”.
  4. After pasting the token, the list of channels/groups where the bot is connected loads automatically. Select the right entry. If the list is empty, ensure the bot is in the channel and the token is correct, then paste the token again.

Connecting in the plugin

After the preparation steps, in the plugin open ParrotPoster → Accounts and click Connect for the Max messenger.

In the dialog, choose the connection method:

  • for the ParrotPoster bot, enter the channel/group link or ID and click Connect;
  • for your own bot, paste the token, wait for the channel list, select the channel, and click Connect.

Done — the Max account appears in the list, and you can publish from WordPress through ParrotPoster.
