How to send a telegram message to a phone number collected through forms

Thecab — Question · May 21, 2022

So I tried to set this up but wasn't successful though the "Forward a Message" feature went through once and then stopped working. All your tutorials that I have seen about this topic were focused on sending to a group or channel. What's the best approach to achieve this? Thanks

Hey @Thecab

The Telegram action step doesn't accept a telephone number at all, you need to pass the Chat Id only of the Telegram user.

I want to auto send Telegram messages to users who filled out a form, I guess that won't be possible because I can't ask users for their Telegram Chat ID.

Hey @Thecab

Yes, you need users' Telegram's Chat Id to send the messages if you are not getting the Chat Id in your workflow your use case wouldn't be possible.
