Connect Pliris Bot to Telegram
Link Telegram to your Pliris account in one tap, then chat with Pliris Bot to check your catalog, edit setlists, and build sets.
Link Telegram once and Pliris Bot is a regular Telegram chat: ask what's in tonight's set, swap a song, or build the show and get the download link right in the conversation.
Telegram doesn't share your phone number or email with Pliris, so you link the two accounts with a one-time code from Settings. For everything Pliris Bot can do, see Pliris Bot: what it is and what it can do.
