Warmup
Warmup: on a schedule the phone opens channels, scrolls the feed, joins channels from a list one at a time, leaves reactions and sorts chats into folders. Your own accounts on one phone add each other to contacts and chat a little. After this page you will start a warmup and understand what the account did today.
Start a warmup
- Open Warmup and press Create a new warmup.
- Step 1. Tick the accounts. They are grouped by phone. Press Continue.
- Step 2. Choose the mode and set Duration, days. Read only is a good first choice. Press Continue.
- Step 3. Set Window start and Window end: the hours when the phone warms the account up. The window can cross midnight. Press Continue.
- Step 4. Check the account, mode, duration and window. Press Start. Save draft does not start anything.
Six warmup modes
The mode sets how many times a day the phone visits Telegram. A visit: open a channel from the Channels folder, scroll, and in two modes leave a reaction.
| Mode | What the phone does |
|---|---|
| Read only | 1 visit a day. |
| Trial subscription | 1 visit a day. |
| Reading while working | 3-7 visits a day. |
| Safe | 1-3 visits a day. |
| Standard | 3-6 visits a day, reactions. |
| Intensive | 5-8 visits a day, reactions. |
Joining channels
A program has an ordered list of channels. You can edit it in the dashboard: add, remove or reorder channels. The phone joins them strictly in list order and one at a time, not all at once:
- in the first 3 days of the program, no more than one join a day per account;
- after that, no more than two a day;
- at least 6 hours between two joins of the same account.
If the account is already a member of a channel, that channel counts as done. Progress per account is shown in the program.
Chats between your own accounts
If a program has two or more of your accounts, they chat with each other. The Chat between own accounts switch is on by default.
- First the accounts add each other to contacts. Until both are in contacts, the pair does not chat.
- Then they send each other short ordinary lines, about 2 messages a day per account, no more often than once every 3 hours and only within the program window.
- A reply to a line comes no sooner than 20 minutes later.
Telegram folders
Warmup works with the Channels folder in Telegram. You do not need to create it: if it is missing, the phone creates it. It also creates a Leads folder for private chats. If the folders could not be created, the gGram app asks you to do it by hand.
Plan and progress today
The Today tab has one row per account and a square per visit. On a wide screen the squares sit on an hour scale; the Scale / List switch changes the view.
| On screen | What it means |
|---|---|
| Done N of M | How many visits are done out of today's plan. |
| Square with a tick | The visit is done. |
| Empty with a bold outline | The visit was skipped or interrupted. |
| Empty with a slash | The visit failed and needs your help. |
| Empty | The visit is still ahead. |
| On plan | Everything goes as planned for this account. |
| Running | The phone is warming the account up right now. |
| Waiting for the phone | The phone is busy, paused or offline. The reason is under the account row. |
| Waiting for you | The account's warmup has stopped and will not continue on its own. |
Why a visit moved
- Click the square.
- Read the planned time and the result.
The phone runs one task at a time: lead replies first, then campaigns, then warmup. If the phone was busy, the visit waits its turn. That is not an error.
When the account is waiting for you
- Find the Waiting for you row at the top of the block.
- Hover the ⓘ: it says what happened.
- Press Return account «…». If the whole program is stopped, press Resume.
Warmup programs
The Programs tab lists all running warmups. Press Open on the one you need. Inside are the Run log (all visits in order), Stop for one account and Stop run for the whole program.
Good to know
- The phone needs a recent version of the gGram app from ggram.xyz/download.
- Campaigns come before warmup. If time runs out, the visit moves and the program may take longer.
- While you are using the phone yourself, gGram does not take tasks: the visit waits until the phone is free.
- Warmup does not protect from Telegram restrictions. It only makes the account look like a regular user.
