What you'll need

  • A Telegram bot (created via @BotFather) and its token
  • Subscribers who started a chat with your bot

How it works

Contacts subscribe by starting a chat with your bot. Their Telegram chat id is stored on the contact, and Climails sends through the bot on your behalf.

Set it up

  1. 1

    Connect your bot

    Add your bot token in the Telegram channel settings and set the webhook.

  2. 2

    Collect subscribers

    Drive users to start your bot; their chat id is captured automatically.

  3. 3

    Send

    Add a Telegram step to a flow/campaign, or POST /v1/messages with channel "telegram".

Frequently asked questions

Can I message any Telegram user?

No — a user must have started a chat with your bot first. That's how you get consent and a deliverable chat id.

Do I need my own bot?

Yes — messages are sent through your bot, so they carry your brand.
