INSTALL
Grok Bot template not installing? Seven fixes
These fixes cover both ways to install: a one-message install through Boterly, and a setup prompt pasted into a new Grok Bot.
The Bot says it needs a Boterly key
Installing into a Bot needs a free Boterly key. Create one on your account page, then add it to the boterly connector in Grok Bot as the HTTP header Authorization with the value Bearer and your key. Never paste the key into a chat.
The Bot says the key is not valid
Creating a new key replaces the old one. Copy the current key from your account page into the connector header again, and check that the value starts with Bearer followed by a space.
The Bot does not use Boterly
Grok Bot loads a custom connector when a chat first needs it. Start the message with @boterly, or start a new chat after adding the connector. Check that the server URL is exactly https://boterly.si/api/mcp and the type is Remote HTTPS.
Free installs are used up
A free account includes 3 one-message installs. Reinstalling or updating a template you already have does not count. You can still paste any setup prompt for free, or upgrade to Boterly Pro for unlimited installs.
A pasted prompt does nothing
Confirm the prompt is the first message of a new Bot and wait for the preview reply. Do not paste mid-conversation in an old chat. If there is still no reply, start a new Bot and paste once more.
If you reach a preview and Add does nothing, leave the preview. Copy the setup prompt from the Boterly template page and paste it into a new Bot.
Routines stay paused
Routines start paused after either install method. That is expected, not a failure. Check the first run, run one small task by hand, then enable the routines you need.
Skills missing after install
Ask the Bot to list its skills and compare them with the template page. If one is missing, install the template again; reinstalling does not use a free install.
Official Marketplace templates that arrive without skills are a different case. Use the answer linked in this section for that case.
