The MAX bot: invoice photos in the MAX messenger

Besides Telegram, the ReconDoc bot can accept invoices in the MAX messenger — either personally or from a working group. It works the same way as in Telegram: link with a code, and photos go straight to recognition.

What it is#

The ReconDoc bot in MAX: send it a photo or PDF of an invoice, and the document shows up in the service. You can message the bot personally or add it to a working group.

Personal messages#

1. In the service, open Settings → Bots & messengers, the MAX row.
2. Press Link.
3. You will see a link, «Open the bot in MAX» (if a bot name is set on the platform), and a code to send the bot in MAX. Either one works.

Once linked, just send the bot a photo or PDF of an invoice in a private chat. If you run more than one restaurant, a few seconds later the bot asks which one to put the invoice in — same as in Telegram.

Group#

Only the restaurant owner can link a working group in MAX, and the platform needs to have group linking turned on.

1. Open the Groups card and pick MAX.
2. Press Get a code for the group.
3. Then three steps:
   • add the ReconDoc bot to the MAX group;
   • make it a group administrator — without admin rights MAX does not show the bot the group's messages;
   • send the command /link CODE in the group.

MAX has no separate link for adding a bot to a group, like Telegram does — only the code.

In a group the bot only accepts photos and PDFs. It does not read ordinary messages and does not reply to chatter.

In the bindings table, a group has Check (re-checks admin rights and updates the «Checked: …» mark) and Unlink buttons.

If the rights are taken away#

If the bot loses admin rights, the group row shows a warning. Grant the bot admin rights again and press Check — the «Checked: …» mark will update.

If there is no MAX row#

That means MAX is not connected on the platform, or it is turned off for your restaurant by the platform admin. Write to support.
