Using

1. Add your bot to supergroup.
2. Promote him to admin
3. Activate bot by sending him any message.
4. Configure it by typing /setting right in your group. This step is important, because you can administer more than one group, so bot needs to know, what group you want to configure right now.
5. Bot will send you keyboard (in private message), that you can use to toggle message filters and more.
