Telegram in, workflow out

For bot builders

Bots that run real workflows.

Receive bot messages as a workflow trigger, run code or an agent, and reply in the same chat — without maintaining a long-polling process on a VPS.

How it works

From event to action on one canvas

Same product as the homepage — scoped to this workflow.

01

Add Telegram Trigger

Drop the trigger, set the bot token from BotFather (prefer an env var), and optionally filter commands.

02

Add logic or an agent

Code, HTTP, or AI Agent between message and reply. Inspect chat id and text on a test run.

03

Reply and setWebhook

Telegram Send Message binds chat id and text. Deploy, point Telegram at your trigger URL, message the bot.

Why Tensorify

Built for this job

Not a generic automation pitch — the pieces that matter for this audience.

No getUpdates loop to host

Telegram pushes updates to your workflow URL. You are not babysitting a long-lived polling process for simple bots.

Same canvas as the rest of Tensorify

Bots can call the same HTTP, code, and agent nodes as webhook and API workflows — one runtime.

Command filters

Restrict to /start, /help, or custom commands so noise never enters the expensive part of the graph.

Self-host when chats are sensitive

Run the runner on your machine or VPS so execution stays next to your tools and secrets.

FAQ

Questions for this use case

Straight answers before you sign up.

Q01Do I still need BotFather?

Yes. Create the bot and token with BotFather. Tensorify runs the workflow when Telegram delivers updates to your webhook URL.

Q02Can this power an AI support bot?

Yes. Put an AI Agent (and tools/memory as needed) between Telegram Trigger and Send Message. Start simple with Code if you only need canned replies.

Q03Long polling or webhook?

This path is webhook-based. That is what you want for always-on automations without a process polling getUpdates.
