## The bot link and QR code

Not everything is a website. If you have no site at all, this is the fastest way to be useful to customers — and if you do have one, it still works everywhere your website cannot go.

### Your bot has its own page

Every bot has a link of its own:

```text
https://telybot.com/chat/kb_live_your_key_here
```

It is a full-screen chat that works on any phone or computer. Nothing to install, nothing to paste into a theme, no developer.

Find it on **Install → Bot link** in your dashboard, next to a **QR code** you can download and print.

### Where to put the link

- Your Instagram or WhatsApp Business bio
- Your Google Business profile
- An email signature
- A WhatsApp broadcast or status

When you paste it into WhatsApp or Instagram, it unfurls with your bot's name and your welcome message rather than a bare grey card — the page carries its own title, description and colour.

### Where to put the code

The QR downloads as a PNG you can hand to a printer or drop into a design.

- A sticker at the counter or on the door
- Packaging, receipts, invoices
- A table tent, a menu, a shelf talker
- A poster or a flyer

**Three things make a printed code fail**, and they are almost always the reason:

1. **Too small.** Print it at 2 cm across or larger. Further away from the customer means bigger, not the same size.
2. **No white border.** The blank margin around the code is not decoration — a scanner uses it to find the code at all. Do not crop it off.
3. **Tinted.** Keep it black on white. A brand-coloured code, a code on a photo, or a light-grey code on white will not scan reliably, whatever it looks like on screen.

Scan it yourself with your own phone before you send anything to a printer.

### Turning it off

The link is live while your bot is live. Take the bot back to draft on **Overview** and the page stops answering; a customer sees a neutral "chat is not available" message rather than anything about your account.
