Draws on the Telegram channel help to attract new subscribers and increase engagement. We have created a bot for a Telegram draw with a subscription to channels and a random selection of the winner. The bot will help to fully automate this activity: it will publish a post with conditions, collect a database of participants, explain the rules, check the subscription to your channel and partner channels, determine the winner and publish the results. 

Features of the bot: 
1. You can check your subscription for any number of channels 
2. Simple and intuitive mechanics – a participant only needs to click on the button under the post 
3. You can use all the features of the constructor and add any logic to the drawing scenario 
4. All participants will become subscribers of your bot, which means that you can continue to interact with them, for example, send a newsletter with news and promotions

Difficulty level: medium-complex — a bot can be created using a ready-made setup, but you need to understand how its logic works  
Price plan on the platform: free and paid 

How does the drawing bot work in a Telegram channel
At the scheduled time, the bot publishes a post with the draw in the Telegram channel. Subscribers click on the Participate button (a text of the button can be changed) and go into a dialogue with the bot.
The bot offers to subscribe to channels and checks the subscription. If a person is not subscribed to a channel, the bot will immediately report this and will not add him to the database of participants in the draw.
Subscribers who have fulfilled all the conditions get into the database of participants.
Then, at the scheduled time, the bot randomly selects the winner and publishes a post in the channel.
How to set up the bot
✔️ Register in the BuddyBot constructor, create a project and add the "Drawing in the Telegram Channel" template (available on a free price plan). 3 scripts and a table will appear in your project. The script "Draw_plot" can be deleted immediately, it will not be useful. The table is needed to save the participants and set the date of the draw and select the winners. 

✔️ Add a bot to the channels and make it an administrator. Set up blocks for actions in Telegram. A detailed video tutorial is here. 
Important! If users need to subscribe to several channels to participate in the draw, the bot must be an administrator in each of them. This is the only way he can verify the fulfillment of the conditions. 

Make publications with the draw and the results inside the constructor, add links to Telegram channels for subscription. 

✔️ Schedule the dates of posts in the "Date" table, set the time of the bot launch (there is an instruction inside the template).  

✔️ Test the bot in the channel. Set the day in the Check Schedule, the time is the next minute according to the current time (GTM+3). Press Test. As a result, a post with a drawing should be published on the channel. Ask two or more friends to click on the button under the post and subscribe to the channels. Check the publication of the post with the winners according to the same scheme.  
Important! The table should contain the current date.
