1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Telegram and WhatsApp, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website, where you can either sign in or sign up for a free account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. In the prompt that appears, name your workflow, such as ‘Telegram to WhatsApp’ and click ‘Create’ to proceed with the setup.

2. Setting Up Telegram as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure Telegram as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. For the trigger event, select ‘Webhook Watch Updates’. This action will initiate the workflow when a new message is sent to a Telegram group.

• Choose ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Telegram account.
• Follow the instructions to obtain your Telegram bot token.
• Paste the token in Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’.

After saving, you will need to test the connection. Go to your Telegram app, create a new group, and add your bot as an admin. Send a test message in the group, then return to Pabbly Connect to confirm the message has been captured successfully.

3. Configuring Action to Send WhatsApp Notifications

Now that Telegram is set up as the trigger, the next step involves configuring WhatsApp to send notifications. In Pabbly Connect, select WhatsApp Cloud API as the action application.

For the action event, choose ‘Send Template Message’ and connect your WhatsApp account. You will be prompted to enter your WhatsApp Business Account ID, phone number ID, and a temporary access token. This token can be obtained from the WhatsApp developer page, ensuring to keep in mind that it expires in 23 hours.

• Copy the phone number ID and WhatsApp Business Account ID from the developer page.
• Paste these details back in Pabbly Connect and save the connection.

After establishing the connection, select a template message you want to send. Map the fields from the Telegram trigger to the WhatsApp message template to personalize the notifications.

4. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

With both Telegram and WhatsApp integrated, it’s time to finalize your automation in Pabbly Connect. Begin by testing the workflow to ensure everything functions as intended. Send a message in your Telegram group and check if the corresponding WhatsApp notification is received.

During this process, all necessary details such as the recipient’s mobile number and the message body should be accurately mapped from the Telegram trigger. This ensures that each WhatsApp notification reflects the correct information from Telegram.

Verify that the message format is correct and that the recipient details are accurate. Adjust any settings if needed, then save your workflow.

After saving, you can run a test to see the integration in action. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a WhatsApp notification whenever a message is sent in your Telegram group.
