02 · Why Telegram

Chat that never reaches your systems.

The problem

The bot on a shelf.

Telegram bots usually run as one-off scripts with a webhook pointed at a box someone forgot about. The conversations never reach your CRM, and nobody can audit what the bot said.

The solution

The bot on the substrate.

Connect your bot token once — it’s stored host-side, per org. Sends go out through a plain endpoint your workflows can call; inbound updates are secret-checked and stored as rows linked to your business data.

03 · What's inside

Feature depth, not surface area.

Your token, host-side

Bot credentials live in per-org files on the host — never in the database, never echoed back.

Send from anywhere

POST /api_tg_send with a chat id and text. Workflows, agents and automations message customers through your bot.

Secret-checked webhook

Inbound updates carry your webhook secret and are compared in constant time before anything is stored.

Conversations as rows

Messages land on the substrate — auditable, searchable, linkable to the customer they belong to.

Agent-ready

Because messages are rows, agents can read the thread and draft or send replies with the tools they already have.

Clear boundary

This is your bot talking to your customers. No shared infrastructure bot, no third-party relay.

04 · Deployment

Self-host or cloud — both are first-class.

The same binary. The same substrate. Move between them with a data export.
