Web Form to Telegram - Telegram Integration

Integration Overview

The Telegram integration sends each form submission to Telegram as a message. You can receive it in your own chat or in a group your team shares.

FormBold provides the bot. You do not need to create one with BotFather, copy a bot token, or look up a chat ID.

It works with plain HTML forms, static sites, and apps built with Next.js, React, Vue, or Angular.

How It Works

1. A visitor submits your form.
2. FormBold runs its spam checks and allowed-domain rules.
3. If the submission passes, FormBold saves it to your dashboard and the FormBold bot sends it to your Telegram chat or group.
4. Telegram notifies you with a message that lists the submission details.

If Telegram does not accept a delivery, FormBold retries it automatically. Email notifications and other integrations keep running.

How to Connect Your Form to Telegram

1. Open your form in FormBold and go to the Integrations tab.
2. Click Telegram.
3. Open the FormBold Telegram bot link shown on screen, or find the bot in Telegram and start a chat.
4. Send /start, or follow the pairing code prompt on screen. This links your chat to your form.
5. To use a group instead, add the FormBold bot to the group and allow it to post messages.
6. Return to FormBold and click Verify Connection.

To test it, submit an entry from your website. Your Telegram app should show a message with the submission details.

• Team group alerts: Send submissions to a shared group so anyone on the team can respond.
• Personal and side projects: Get contact form messages without setting up an email inbox.
