Integrate with Telegram

Integrate Voice Mate with Telegram to receive call summaries directly in your Telegram chats.

Set up the Voice Mate app

Getting Started

You’ll need a Telegram account.

1. Create a Telegram Bot: Open Telegram and search for the “BotFather” (official Telegram bot). Start a conversation and use the /newbot command to create a new bot. Follow the instructions to choose a name and username for your bot. After creation, you’ll receive a unique API token—keep this safe.

2. Obtain the Chat ID: To send messages to your Telegram chat, you’ll need the chat ID. There are two types of chats to consider:

   • For individual chats: Start a conversation with your bot by searching for its username in Telegram. Then, send any message (e.g., “Hello”) to the bot.
   • For group chats: Add your bot to the group and send a message. The chat ID for a group chat typically begins with a minus sign (-) followed by a numeric ID (e.g., -123456789).

   To retrieve the exact chat ID, you can use the following API endpoint:

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

   Replace <YOUR_BOT_TOKEN> with the API token you got from the BotFather. Check the response for the chat.id field that corresponds to your chat.

   Note: If you’re using a group chat, the chat ID will typically contain a prefix (e.g., -100), so ensure you’re copying the full ID.

3. Add the Chat ID and Bot Token to Voice Mate: In your Voice Mate settings, enter both the chat ID and the API token you obtained earlier in the Telegram integration section. This will allow Voice Mate to send call summaries to your chosen Telegram chat.
