Analytics Dashboard

Group Statistics at a Glance

Running a community without data is like navigating without a map. You know you are moving, but you do not know whether you are heading in the right direction. BotWave's analytics dashboard gives you the map. The /stats command provides an immediate overview of your group's health: total message count, active member count, messages per day, and peak activity times. This snapshot tells you at a glance whether your group is growing, stagnating, or declining.

Behind the command, the mini app dashboard provides rich visualizations. Charts show message volume over time, revealing patterns like weekday versus weekend activity, time-of-day peaks, and long-term growth trends. You can see which days had the most conversation and which were quiet, helping you understand when your members are most receptive to announcements or events. This temporal awareness lets you time your content for maximum impact.

Member Activity Tracking

Not all members contribute equally. The analytics system tracks individual member activity, so you can identify your most active contributors, your lurkers who read but rarely post, and members who have gone silent over time. This information is invaluable for community management — you can reach out to fading members to bring them back, recognize your top contributors with rewards or promotions, and understand the overall engagement distribution of your community.

The /eventstats command provides statistics on specific events like joins, leaves, bans, and warnings. This helps you track whether your moderation actions are increasing or decreasing over time, whether your group is experiencing unusual churn, and whether anti-raid measures are reducing malicious joins. Combined with the trust score system, you can correlate member behavior with community health metrics to identify patterns.

Channel Engagement Metrics

For communities that run Telegram channels alongside their groups, the /chanalytics command provides channel-specific analytics. You can track subscriber growth over time, view counts per post, reaction distributions, and forward rates. This data tells you which types of content resonate with your audience and which fall flat, allowing you to refine your content strategy based on evidence rather than guesswork.

The /chengagement command measures how actively subscribers interact with your posts. A channel with 10,000 subscribers but low engagement is less valuable than one with 1,000 subscribers who actively react, forward, and comment. By tracking engagement rates rather than just raw subscriber counts, you get a truer picture of your channel's actual reach and influence. The /chsubscribercount command gives you the current number for quick reference.

Invite Leaderboards

Growth is the lifeblood of any community, and organic growth through member invites is the most sustainable kind. The invite tracking system records who invited each new member, building a leaderboard of your community's top recruiters. The /invites command shows your personal invite count and rank, and the /top command displays the all-time invite leaderboard.

This data serves double duty: it recognizes and rewards your most growth-oriented members, and it helps you identify which invite channels are most effective. If one member consistently brings in high-quality, active new members, you might want to give them special recognition or privileges. If another member brings in many new members who quickly become inactive or get banned, you might want to investigate whether they are inviting genuine friends or just random accounts to boost their count.

Using Analytics to Grow

The true value of analytics is not in the numbers themselves but in the decisions they inform. When you see that your group is most active on weekday evenings, you can schedule your most important announcements for those times. When you notice a decline in new joins, you can investigate whether your invite link is still working or whether a related channel has stopped promoting your group. When you see that a particular type of channel post gets significantly more reactions, you can produce more of that content.

The analytics dashboard makes all of this data accessible without requiring any technical knowledge. The mini app presents everything in clean, visual charts that are easy to read on any device. Whether you are a casual community manager checking in on your group's health or a serious growth-focused operator tracking every metric, the dashboard scales to your level of engagement.
