Telegram bot messaging · live on Free

Reach the users your other channels miss.

Telegram is the messaging app of choice for developer communities, much of Europe, India and large parts of the world your other channels miss. Senddio sets up the Telegram bot, signs every webhook for you, and exposes the channel through the same /v1/send endpoint that sends your email. Markdown, inline keyboards and chat addressing all work out of the box.

How it works

Telegram, on the same line of code.

The half of your users your other channels can't reach — you reach them now. Same endpoint, same auth, same dashboard.

01
Step 01
You create a bot in two minutes.
Tell BotFather what to call it, drop the token in Senddio, we wire the webhook and verify every signature for you.
02
Step 02
You send to any chat or channel.
Markdown, inline keyboards, photos, the works. Same /v1/send call. We translate to Telegram's picky JSON for you.
03
Step 03
It lands in their pocket.
Anywhere Telegram reaches — which is most of the world your other channels are quietly missing.
04
Step 04
Their commands come back to you.
Inbound is threaded under your message. Your agent can handle the rest, even at 3am when you are not online.

One endpoint, one key, one bill. That is all.

The shift

Reach the users your other channels can't.

  • No more pushing Telegram support to next quarter.
  • No more bots going quiet when a webhook fails.
  • No more late-night formatting headaches.
  • No more being invisible to half of your community.

You stop being absent from a large part of the world.

Beyond the obvious

Whatever your team can imagine, this endpoint will send.

Real teams ship telegram on Senddio for everything from order receipts to late-night customer apologies. Here are a few of the things they have built — and the kinds of things your team will dream up next month.

Composite quotes from interviews with current Senddio customers shipping telegram in production.

We grew our Latin American community to 14,000 in three months. Telegram was the unlock; SMS and email simply could not have done it on their own.

Our deploy notifications now hit the team channel one second after every build finishes. It is one of the small joys of the week.

Telegram inline keyboards let our bot replace a half-built internal dashboard. Two engineers went back to building product.

FAQ

Telegram — FAQ

Create a bot with Telegram's @BotFather, copy the token into Senddio under Channels, then Telegram. Senddio sets the webhook URL on your bot, verifies every incoming signature and starts routing inbound events automatically.

Yes — in fact, Telegram requires it. A user must send /start to your bot before you can message them. Senddio captures the chat ID on first contact and stores it under the matching user, so future sends use a stable identity automatically.

Both. Set the parse_mode field to "Markdown", "MarkdownV2" or "HTML" and Senddio passes it through to Telegram unchanged.

Yes. Pass a reply_markup field with inline keyboard rows in your send call and Senddio takes care of the JSON shape Telegram expects.

Yes. Give the agent its own key, restrict it to Telegram, and it can post messages, updates or community broadcasts using the same send tool as your other channels.
