Put an AI agent to work across your Telegram bots
Connect your Telegram bot in one click and delegate the busywork: an autonomous agent that watches groups and channels, answers commands, moderates conversations, broadcasts digests, and turns every chat into action in the rest of your stack. You set the autonomy, it does the work.

Fleece AI connects to the Telegram Bot API through a managed connection and lets autonomous agents send and read messages, answer commands, present inline keyboards, moderate groups, and broadcast to channels in real time. Agents combine Telegram with 3,000+ other apps — Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Sheets — so a message in a chat can become a support ticket, a qualified lead row, a moderation alert, or a reply anywhere in your stack, under the approval rules you set.

What a Fleece agent does with Telegram
Telegram is where a lot of communities, support queues, and audiences actually live. You create a bot through BotFather, drop it into groups and channels, and suddenly it is fielding member questions, running slash commands, and pushing announcements to thousands of subscribers. The problem is that a raw bot only does what you hand-coded it to do. A Fleece agent sits on top of the Bot API instead: it reads the chats, groups, and channels you point it at, understands each message in context, and acts — it replies, escalates, moderates, files, broadcasts, or stays quiet, according to the instructions you give it in plain language.
Under the hood, the connection runs through Fleece's managed OAuth layer: you authorize your Telegram bot once, and Fleece stores its token securely and handles scopes and refresh — you never wire up your own webhook server. The agent can send and edit messages, reply in private chats and groups, answer bot commands, present inline keyboards and buttons, pin and delete messages, restrict or remove members in groups it administers, and post broadcasts to channels. Webhook-based triggers let it react the moment a new message, command, or new member event lands — no polling loop, no cron delay.
What makes this different from a hand-coded BotFather bot or a rules-based flow is judgment. A command handler can only match a fixed pattern; an agent reads the actual message, decides whether it is a support question, spam, a lead, or noise, drafts a reply that fits the conversation, and coordinates other tools to finish the job. And because Fleece agents work as a hierarchy — a lead agent delegating to specialized child agents — one Telegram-facing agent can hand research to a research agent, logging to a data agent, or escalation to a Slack-facing agent and report back in the chat.
What the agent can do in Telegram
Group and chat triage
Watches busy groups and bot chats, classifies each message, answers known questions inline, and routes what matters — escalating the urgent, ignoring the noise.
Support intake via bot
Runs a support bot that gathers the details, answers from your docs, and opens a ticket or escalates to a human when a conversation needs one.
Channel broadcasts and digests
Posts scheduled channel broadcasts — release notes, daily digests, KPI snapshots — assembled from your other connected tools, formatted for Telegram.
Lead capture from conversations
Turns a bot conversation into a qualified lead: it asks the right follow-ups, extracts the fields you care about, and files a clean row downstream.
Real-time triggers
Reacts the moment a message, command, or new-member event happens in a watched chat, through webhook-based triggers rather than polling.
Moderation with approval gates
Anything sensitive — removing a member, deleting a message, sending a broadcast — pauses for your one-click sign-off before it happens.
Automations teams run on Telegram
These are concrete setups you can describe to a Fleece agent in plain language. Each one combines Telegram with other connected apps.
Community: triage a group and flag what needs a human
The agent watches your Telegram group, answers recurring questions inline, and welcomes new members with a pinned onboarding message. When it detects spam, harassment, or a member request it cannot resolve, it does not act blindly — it posts the case to a Slack channel with the message and a suggested action, and only restricts or removes the member after your one-click approval. Genuine moderation happens fast; irreversible actions stay gated.
Support: intake bot that escalates to Slack and logs the ticket
Customers message your support bot; the agent gathers the order number and issue, answers what it can from your documentation, and for anything unresolved posts an escalation to your Slack #support channel with a one-line summary. In the same run it logs the conversation as a ticket in Notion so nothing is lost. The customer gets an immediate acknowledgement in Telegram while the team picks it up where they already work.
Audience: scheduled channel broadcast digests
Every morning the agent assembles a channel broadcast — new blog posts, product changes, and metrics pulled from your other tools — writes it in Telegram-friendly formatting with inline buttons linking out, and posts it to your subscriber channel on schedule. Because it runs as a scheduled flow, the digest goes out on time without anyone drafting it, and any external announcement can be held for approval before it is sent.
Growth: lead-capture bot into qualified rows in Google Sheets
A prospect starts a conversation with your bot; the agent asks qualifying questions through inline keyboards, extracts company size, use case, and contact, and appends a clean, structured row to a Google Sheets lead list — deduplicating against existing entries. High-intent leads trigger an instant DM to the owner in Slack with a suggested next step, so the team follows up while interest is fresh.
How to connect Telegram to Fleece AI
Create your Fleece account
Sign up and start the 7-day trial. You land in a workspace where agents, flows, and integrations live together.
Connect your Telegram bot
Pick Telegram Bot from the integrations catalog and authorize your bot in one click. Fleece manages the token and scopes for you; you can revoke access at any time from Fleece or by revoking the bot in Telegram.
Describe the job in plain language
Create an agent and tell it what to watch and what to do — "watch our group, answer from our docs, flag spam to Slack for approval, welcome new members". No command handlers to code, no webhook server to host.
Set autonomy and approval gates
Choose what the agent may do on its own and what waits for your sign-off. Sensitive actions — removing members, deleting messages, broadcasts — pause for one-click approval.
Run it on triggers or a schedule
Let the agent react to Telegram events in real time through webhooks, or schedule recurring flows — morning digests, weekly broadcasts — that run without you.
Telegram works better with the rest of your stack
Telegram automations get powerful when they cross app boundaries. Pair Telegram with Slack to escalate moderation and support cases into your team's channels, with Notion to log tickets and community threads as pages, with Gmail to turn bot conversations into follow-up emails, or with Google Sheets to capture leads as structured rows — all through the same agent, all under the same approval rules. Fleece connects to 3,000+ apps, so the stack you already run is almost certainly covered, and one Telegram-facing agent can reach every part of it in a single run.
