What lands in Telegram

A real submission looks like this. Fields, domain, and time are already filled in.

New form submission

name: Jane Smith

email: jane@example.com

message: Hi, I would like to learn more about your services.

Form abc-123 · example.com · just now

Set it up

Most people finish this in a couple of minutes.

Create a bot

Message @BotFather and send /newbot. Follow the prompts.

You get a token that looks like 123456789:ABCdefGHI.... Keep it private.

Get the chat ID

Add the bot to the group (or start a DM) and send it a message.

Open this URL in your browser, with your token filled in:

Find the chat ID

https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates

Look for "chat":{"id":. That number is the chat ID.

Build the URL and paste it

Combine token and chat ID:

Telegram webhook URL

https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>

Add that URL on your Boosterpack Forms dashboard. We detect Telegram and format the message.

Email still arrives. Telegram is extra. For a team, add the bot to a group. For just you, a DM is fine.

For developers

You can skip this.

Add or update the webhook via API:

Set Telegram webhook

curl -X PATCH "https://boosterpackforms.com/api/forms/<FORM_ID>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BPF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "addWebhookUrl": "https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>" }'

Plans

Slack, Discord, and other destinations use webhooks, which are on Professional and Business. Email delivery works on every plan, including Free. You can keep email and add a destination later.
