Telegram integration

What it does

Send each submission to a Telegram chat via a bot. Delivery is asynchronous and retried automatically, and any credentials you enter are encrypted at rest.

Step 1: set up Telegram

Do this once in Telegram to get the details you'll paste into ShipMyForm.

1. 1Create a bot. Message @BotFather in Telegram, run /newbot, and copy the bot token.
2. 2Get the chat ID. Add the bot to your group or channel, then find the chat ID (e.g. via @userinfobot or the Bot API getUpdates).

Step 2: connect it in ShipMyForm

1. 1Open your form's Connectors tab. Choose telegram from the connector list.
2. 2Enter your details. Paste Bot token, Chat ID from the steps above.
3. 3Add and test. Click Add, then Test to send a sample submission and confirm it arrives.

What you'll enter

• Bot token: Create a bot with @BotFather to get its token.
• Chat ID: The chat/channel id. Add the bot to the chat first.

Use cases
