Creating Telegram Message

To send Telegram messages via Yespo: 111

1. Create a bot in the @BotFather service, copy the access key, and upload it to our system.

2. Subscribe to a pricing plan.

Then, you can proceed to create a Telegram campaign.

Creating a New Telegram Message

Go to the Messages section → Messages → Telegram. Click New Telegram.

Main Settings

Fill in the following fields:
1. Name. Select a message name. This field is available for searching messages in the general list; users will not see it.

2. Message text.

Use in the text field:

• clickable links that will provide additional transitions to the site and allow the recipient to find out the promotion details or product characteristics immediately;
• emoji;
• personalization with variables from contact fields: name, city, number of bonuses, etc.; click the person icon and select the desired value.

3. Image in JPEG, PNG, WEBP or GIF format up to 5 MB. For optimal quality, use an image size of around 800x800 pixels. Image proportions will be preserved; for better display we recommend using standard proportions (for example, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9). 

4. Buttons can be placed horizontally ("Add button", up to six in one row) and vertically ("Add  buttons row"). Usage options:

• Open URL — to redirect users to external resources;
• Send callback data — to execute internal commands that redirect users within the bot. The command can be any text up to 64 characters long, for example — callback|211|||goto|212|82/scanpack. These commands must be supported in the bot itself. Below is an example of code that passes the callback_data parameter to the bot:

{
    "inline_keyboard": [
        [
            {
                "text": "Action",
                "callback_data": "Option M"
            }
        ]
    ]
}

5. Tags (optional). Add tags by selecting the ones you need from the list, or create new ones by clicking Add tag. Using tags, you can quickly find your desired messages, analyze statistics, and set up your messaging frequency strategy.

Additional Settings

1. Specify subscription categories to send messages to your contacts based on their interests.

2. Enable or disable UTM tags for all language versions (see the link for details).

Multilingual Version (optional)

Click the globe icon on the top panel, specify the default language, and add language versions to create a multilingual message. Fill in each version with content in the appropriate language. More on multilanguage >

Testing Message

1. Test the message by clicking the TEST button on the top panel.

2. Enter the contact ID or select a contact from the list. The user to whom the test message is sent must be registered in the corresponding Telegram bot.

3. In the Telegram bot field, specify the bot to which the message will be sent. If you only have one bot, it will be selected by default.

4. Click Send.

If everything is set correctly, the message will be displayed in the specified bot.
