Hi! I see you're running into the "URL is not allowed" error while trying to create a bot on Pixelchat. Let's see if we can get that sorted out together.

This error usually means that the URL you are trying to use for your bot's configuration—often as a webhook or redirect URL—is not recognized or permitted by Pixelchat's application settings.

Could you please tell me more about what URL you are providing during the bot setup? For example:

- Is it a website URL, a local server URL, or a cloud-based endpoint?
- Are you copying it exactly as it appears, including https://example.com/botbr>- Are you using a domain name or an IP address?

In the meantime, here is a typical step-by-step approach to fixing this type of issue:

1. Verify Allowed URLs in the Pixelchat Settings
Check your Pixelchat application dashboard or developer settings to see if there is a place to specify "allowed" URLs or redirect URIs. This is often under security or OAuth settings. Ensure the URL you're using is added there exactly as it appears.

2. Match URL Protocol and Domain Precisely
The URL you enter must match exactly including protocol (https vs http), trailing slashes, and subdomains (like https://example.com/bots://example.com/bot and https://www.example.com/bot are considered different.

3. Use Publicly Accessible URLs
If you are testing on a local machine or using localhost URLs, these usually won't be accepted. You might want to use tools like ngrok to expose your local server to the internet or deploy on a public IP/domain.

4. Clear Cache or Refresh the Setup Page
Sometimes, stale cache or session data can cause these errors. Try reloading the page or logging out and back in before retrying.

5. Check for Specific Platform Restrictions
Since you're on Android 14 with a Xiaomi device, ensure no VPN, firewall, or app permissions are interfering with network routing.

If you can share the exact URL format you're using or any other details, I can guide you further!

Are you able to check the settings or share a little more?

I want to create a bot, but I get the error url is not allowed.

Hi again! Thanks for sharing your issue about the "URL is not allowed" error when creating a bot in the Pixelchat app.

This error commonly comes up because the URL you're trying to use is not registered or permitted in the app’s configuration settings. From what I've gathered, this is often linked to the app’s security settings where only certain URLs are allowed for bot endpoints or webhooks.

Here are some steps to try, especially tailored for your Xiaomi Android 14 device setup:

1. Check Allowed URLs in Pixelchat Settings:
When you create a bot, make sure the URL you enter (for the bot’s webhook or redirect) is added in the Pixelchat developer or app settings under "Allowed URLs" or "Redirect URIs." The URL must match exactly including http://localhost:// and no typos.

2. Use Public URLs:
If you’re trying to use local URLs like http://localhost or an IP address, Pixelchat may reject them. Instead, use a publicly accessible URL. For local development, you can use tools like ngrok to expose your local server with a temporary public URL.

3. Reinstall the App:
Some users on Android reported that uninstalling and reinstalling the Pixelchat app sometimes clears this error—especially if it was caused by cached settings or stale sessions1.

4. Match URL Protocol and Format Exactly:
URLs with differences in www, trailing slashes, or capitalization may be rejected. Ensure it is consistent with what’s allowed in your Pixelchat dashboard.

5. Double Check Network Restrictions:
Since you have a Xiaomi device on Android 14, verify you do not have any VPNs, firewalls, or MIUI security apps blocking network requests that Pixelchat requires.

If you can share the exact URL format or where you are entering it, I can help you confirm if it fits the rules or if it needs adjustment.

Does that help clarify things? Would you like me to walk you through checking the settings step-by-step?
