will check this out. i recently toyed with the idea of bot ordering system in telegram given whatsapp doesnt have that capability yet.
just wondering if we could do a public facing order form in telegram itself and feeds the info in bubbles.
definitely will check this one.
Hey, thanks
yes, I believe it’s possible
when user makes choices in telegram bot, Telegram sends Webhook to Bubble API endpoint with all the details about the choices. So those details can be used by Bubble app to process the order

Hi @levon,
Could this be used just to fire a message to a telegram user.
The message will have some variables which would be in database.
Was looking at Whatsapp Twilio but not available.
Basically bubble.is receives data which goes into the database from a work flow. This then needs to be sent to a user list.
Excuse my ignorance but have never used telegram before (do accounts use a username or phone number?!)
Regards,
Dan
Hi Dan,
yes, however you can’t simply send a message to someone knowing their phone number or id. the user has to start the bot from their end and then you can automatically grab the user id and interact with them
both, but from a technical standpoint, telegram operates with userid parameter in their APIs
hope this helps

So I could work in through user onboard to have a user interact with the bot to get their ID, store this and send them a message after successful interaction? This will work as long as a) there is no window like fb so I could send a message 10 days after for example. B) Its rate limited and the data we send is time sensitive, can we use this plugin to say alert 100 users rate limited (so it doesn’t fail) https://core.telegram.org/bots/faq
I believe the answer is yes, to all these questions

Hi
Can the Telegram plugin from Zeroqode be used to send message to telegram groups?
In my website I need to send messages to telegrams groups through the workflows actions, is it possible using this plugin?

Hi @fjfcarvalho,
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, it is not possible to accomplish it with our plugin. You can simply create a Telegram Bot and customise it, so other users can go through some FAQs, as an example. 
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Zeroqode Team

HI, did you achieve this with the plugin? I’m looking to send messages from my bubble app to users on telegram. please how do I implement this? @ZeroqodeSupport
Hello, @fuhclifffuhche!
Thank you for your question and please accept our apologies for the late reply
In order to find out how to set up the plugin (and some basic use case implementation), please read our documentation:
https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/telegram-plugin
The demo page is a bit old, but should be useful to see how to set up the send message workflow:
We hope to redesign and update the Telegram Bot plugin demo page in the nearest future. 
Hope it helps!

https://zeroqode-demo-21.bubbleapps.io/telegram_demo_page
We hope now it will be much more convenient for you guys to configure the plugin, using this demo + documentation. 
Hope it helps!

I have bought the plugin and set it up with some success. Is anyone able to walk me through how I am able to display all users (userID and maybe their first name) who have started my Telegram bot on my Bubble webpage? I tried to follow their demo page but the layout is rather confusing for someone relatively new to bubble. I am aware that there is a “get bot chat info” option but someone on their forum said I had to use a Repeating Group to display this. Does anyone know how to do this?
Hello @manager
Thanks for reaching out.
As you have already mentioned, you can use "Get chatbot info " data call. As an example: it can be set up by using event ’ when the condition is true’ to add an entry to the database with the name of the user and their ID. You can then display this information on your webpage like it is done on our demo page, using the same “Get chatbot info” and show the data in the repeating group.
To display the data in the repeating group, please take a look at the update chat button on our demo page, and the repeating group’s settings. It should be pretty straightforward

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport @levon is it possible to send videos and files (specifically PDF’s) to users using the bot?
Hello @lucasaggouras,
Thanks for reaching out.
Regarding your question about sending videos and PDFs using the plugin, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Create a Telegram Bot: First, if you haven’t done this already, you’ll need to create a new bot on Telegram using BotFather. This will provide you with a bot token that is essential for the next steps.
Get the Chat ID: You’ll need the chat ID of the user you want to send the PDF or video to. Engage in a chat with your bot, and then you can use a Telegram API to fetch the user’s chat ID.
Use a File Storage Solution:
*Upload the PDF or Video: Before sending, make sure your files (PDF or video) are accessible via a URL. You might want to upload them to a database in your Bubble application or any other cloud storage of your choice.
*Get the File URL: Once uploaded, retrieve the direct URL to the PDF or video file. Ensure that the file is set to public access or at least accessible by your Telegram bot.
With these steps , you should be able to send videos and PDFs to users by file Url via telegram
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance!
Cheers!
