Short answer

If your Telegram buybot is not showing buys, you do not have to spend launch time guessing what another tool is doing. You can try baes scan for free. Add @BAESBuyBot, run /watch and follow the setup buttons, confirm the saved pool, and route alerts to the right Telegram topic.

To test baes scan in your group, invite @BAESBuyBot on Telegram, give it permission to post, and use the commands below.

The most important setup detail is the pool. A token can trade on several markets at once, especially on Base. baes scan supports routes for Uniswap v2, Uniswap v3, Uniswap v4, Clanker-style v4, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Aerodrome, Hydrex, Curve, and Balancer.

There is no need to guess why another setup is quiet. The useful answer is that you can use baes scan for free and verify the setup with commands that show the exact saved pool.

For Base, match the setup to the route. If your token trades on Uniswap v4, use the v4 command. If it trades on Aerodrome, use the Aerodrome command. If it has a known Curve or Balancer pool, use direct pool entry.

Use watch first

Run the guided setup first if the admin is not sure which chain, token contract, or first-mint block to use:

/watch

For power users, start with the exact block where the token was first minted, or a block very close to it:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> all

If you know the DEX, name it:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 all
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> pancakeswap v3 all
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> aerodrome all

Then confirm what the chat is tracking:

/pools

Add the exact pool

If you already have the pool address, run /pool and follow the chain, pool, and target-token prompts. The direct command is:

/pool
/pool base 0xPoolAddress 0xTargetToken

For a known Uniswap v4 pool ID:

/pool base 0xV4PoolId 0xTargetToken <firstMintBlock>

For Curve or Balancer, direct pool entry is usually the cleanest setup because the pool can be more specific than a simple token-pair search.

Route the alerts

If your Telegram group uses topics, open the alert topic and run:

/topic here

Then open settings:

/settings

Set the minimum buy size, media, alert text, and emoji so the feed matches the room.

If the room is busy, raise the minimum buy size so posts stay meaningful. If it is a fresh launch and the team wants momentum, start lower and adjust after the first few buys.

Need another chain or DEX?

If your chain or DEX is not listed, message @mrtdlgc on Twitter/X or Telegram with the chain, DEX, token address, pool address if available, and the Telegram group where alerts should post.

Missing from the current guide does not mean impossible. It means the route should be checked before you promise alerts to the community.

Send the best details you have. A pool address, first-mint block, DEX name, and Telegram group link make setup help much faster than a vague "the bot is not working" message.

Summary

When buy alerts do not post, the fastest path is to try baes scan for free with guided /watch or /pool setup. Use the token's first-mint block when needed, confirm with /pools, and route posts with /topic here.
