Triggers and actions

What you can automate with Telegram

Every step Telegram adds to FlowWP, named and described as it appears in the editor, with the plan that includes it.

Triggers 1

Events in Telegram that can start a workflow.

  • Someone messages your Telegram bot

    Runs when a person writes to the bot, or when it is mentioned in a group it belongs to. Activating the workflow is what registers the bot with Telegram.

  • Send a Telegram photo

    Send an image by its URL, with a caption. Telegram fetches the image itself, so it has to be reachable from outside your site.

Set it up

  1. 1In FlowWP Pro, open Connections and add a Telegram connection.
  2. 2Choose that connection in any Telegram step.
  3. 3Test the workflow once, then activate it. Nothing runs before that.

What FlowWP sends

In FlowWP Pro, when you add a Telegram connection or run a Telegram step, FlowWP sends your bot token and the message to Telegram's Bot API. Activating a Telegram trigger also registers your site's callback address with Telegram.

Nothing runs until you activate a workflow, and every run is recorded step by step.

    Every published post goes to your channel the moment it is live, quietly, so subscribers see it without being pinged.

    MessagingPersonal plan

    Wake someone up when the site goes down

    Checks a page every fifteen minutes. The moment it answers with an error, Telegram reaches a phone and Slack tells the team — because email is the one place nobody looks at two in the morning.
