Rich integration

Integration

With the SDK it's three lines: declare formats on inject(). Use the HTTP rich-delivery guide for ephemeral messages in groups.

bot.py
# Use in place of the ordinary handler; bot, dp and sk are initialized.
from dataclasses import replace
from aiogram import F, types
from sidekick_ads.router import sidekick_router
dp.include_router(sidekick_router(sk))
@dp.message(F.text, F.chat.type == "private")
async def handle_rich(message: types.Message):
if message.from_user is None:
return
reply = await get_llm_response(message.text) # Return plain text.
result = await sk.inject(
user_id=message.from_user.id,
message=reply,
language_code=message.from_user.language_code or "en",
accept_formats=["text", "response", "card", "consent", "quiz"],
capabilities={
"rich_messages": True,
"callbacks": True,
"custom_emoji": False,
},
)
if result.send:
# A rich scene contains only the ad. Send the reply first.
await message.answer(reply, parse_mode=None)
ad = result.ad or {}
# Keep the text fallback ad-only to avoid repeating the reply.
ad_only = replace(
result,
message="Ad\n" + ad.get("text", ""),
)
delivered = await sk.send(bot, message.chat.id, ad_only)
if delivered is None:
# Record a delivery failure; do not request another ad.
pass
else:
await message.answer(
result.message, reply_markup=result.keyboard, parse_mode=None
)

Client requirements

  • •Rich blocks render on Telegram clients released 25.08.2026 or later. Older clients degrade softly: some blocks disappear, but the text and the classic reply_markup CTA button (always duplicated by the server) stay visible.
  • •Custom-emoji brand logos render only when your bot owner has Telegram Premium — declare capabilities.custom_emoji accordingly. Without it the logo degrades to a bold brand name.
  • •Groups: interactive scenes after a tap are always delivered ephemerally (visible only to the tapping user). Scene 1 itself is ephemeral only when your bot is a chat admin (bot_is_admin: true); otherwise it's a regular message — Telegram allows unprompted ephemeral sends to admin bots only.
