Telegram Integration

The Telegram integration allows you to connect your account to the system to receive and send messages to clients directly from the Chats platform interface.

Setting Up the Telegram Account Integration

To connect your Telegram account to the system, go to the Control Panel in the console and follow the steps below:

Under Accounts / Social:

1. Locate Telegram Personal and click the settings button (gear icon).

2. Click Add.

On the next page:

1. Enter a name for the account (this name will be displayed in the system interface);
2. Enter the phone number of the Telegram account you want to connect to the system (in the format +(country code)(phone number), e.g. +15550123456 — no spaces or brackets);
3. If needed, enable the autoreply and configure it (message text, timer);

4. If needed, turn on read state sync to provider;
5. If needed, turn on read state sync from provider;
6. Turn on automatic access to this channel (if needed) for all new users (employees);
7. Select an AI assistant (if needed). To create a new one or manage existing ones, click AI assistant management (the auto-responder must be enabled for the assistant to work in a chat). Learn more about AI tools in Chats here;
8. If needed, enable auto-assignment by selecting Round Robin — in this mode, the system evenly distributes incoming requests among users;
9. Click + Add User to specify who will have access to this integration.

After clicking + Add User, a new row will appear where you can:

1. Select the user you want to add;
2. Set the access level (All Chats or Only Assigned Chats). The Only Assigned Chats access level narrows the user’s visibility to only those chats assigned to them;

To revoke a user’s access, click the trash icon next to that user.

3. Once you have finished configuring the connection, click Add.

Creating a Session

Click Log in — a verification code will be sent to the Telegram account you connected to the system. Enter the code and click Verify.

If two-factor authentication is enabled on this account, an additional window will appear prompting you to enter your account password.

You should see Status: Ready after successfully logging in.

To connect another account, repeat the steps described above. For other channels (messengers and social networks) and their instructions, see the link.

To return to your chats, click “Back” in the bottom-left corner of the panel.

Usage

From this point on, all client messages sent to your account will be stored in the system. You can view and send messages via the interface under the Telegram tab (Chats module → Telegram tab). If you have added multiple accounts, you can switch between them using the dropdown menu.

For more information about the platform’s features, see the Chats Module page.

You can edit or delete the integration from the Control Panel. Go to the Accounts / Social and follow the steps below:

1. Locate Telegram Personal and click the gear icon (settings).

3. Click Delete;
4. Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete again.
