How the Telegram integration works

Inno Message connects to a Telegram bot that represents your business, so messages customers send to it land in the shared inbox. Your team can assign, tag and reply to Telegram conversations alongside every other channel, with the same routing, automation and customer history.

Who it's for: Businesses whose customers prefer Telegram, common in many markets across Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

One queue

Telegram sits next to WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, email and chat.

Team access

Several agents answer the same bot without sharing one phone or login.

Automation

Auto-replies, routing rules and AI agents work the same as on other channels.

  2. Connect
