What You Get

01

Bots and Accounts

Connect a bot with its BotFather token, or sign in to an account by code or QR with two-step verification. Account setup can create a bot for you.

02

Private Chats in Messenger

Private conversations arrive in Messenger, so your team replies to Telegram contacts from the same inbox it uses for other channels.

03

Broadcast Channels

Each connection lists eligible broadcast channels. Give a bot administrator rights to post, edit and delete messages, refresh, and choose a channel as a campaign target.

04

Campaigns and Opt-In Links

Campaigns pick contacts or a broadcast channel. Create a single-use opt-in link that expires after one day to invite someone to start your bot.

05

Telegram Flow Nodes

Flows offer Telegram Message, Telegram First Contact and Telegram Button Tap triggers, plus a Send Telegram action with Sent and Error outcomes.

06

Plan Allowances

Enable Telegram per plan, with separate allowances for Telegram Bots and Telegram Accounts, so you control who can connect what.
