Botoscope allows you to restrict access to your bot using a Private Access Key. This creates a gated entry point — only users who know the key can access your shop.
🛠 How to Enable Private Access
- Go to System Controls → Use private access to bot
- Set “Use private access to bot” to
Yes. - Into “Private access key” input enter your desired access key — this can be any phrase like
hello_world,vip-entry, or anything you choose. - Save
🚪 What Happens Next
- When a new user tries to enter the bot, they will be asked to provide the private access key.
- Only users who enter the correct key will be allowed in.
- You can change the key at any time — old keys will stop working.
🎯 Use Cases
- 🛍 Launching a VIP collection before public release
- 🎁 Running an exclusive campaign for email subscribers or event attendees
- 📦 Offering private sales or product drops to partners or loyal customers
- 🎯 Segmenting marketing — invite-only access to special offers
📨 Sharing the Access Key
You can distribute the key through:
- Newsletter campaigns
- Social media DMs or invite groups
- QR codes linked to landing pages
📌 Notes
- If the key is changed, users with the old key will lose access unless they receive the new one
- Use this tool to build exclusivity, urgency, and a sense of belonging
Tip: Combine the private key feature with targeted promotions or influencer campaigns to build hype and control who gets access first.
