1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To transfer WhatsApp messages to Telegram, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free to get 100 automation tasks monthly.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something like ‘Send WhatsApp Messages to Telegram’ and click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed. This is the first step in utilizing Pabbly Connect for your automation needs.

2. Configuring the Trigger with WhatsApp Cloud API

In this step, we will set up the trigger event in Pabbly Connect which will activate when you receive a new message on WhatsApp. Select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as your trigger application.

  • Search for ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ and select it.
  • Choose the trigger event as ‘Message Notification’.
  • Copy the webhook URL provided.

This URL will be used to connect your WhatsApp Cloud API with Pabbly Connect. After copying the URL, you will need to paste it in the callback URL field of your Cloud API setup.

3. Connecting WhatsApp API and Testing the Connection

To connect your WhatsApp account through the Cloud API, navigate to the configuration section of your Cloud API setup. Paste the webhook URL in the callback URL field and enter the verify token from Pabbly Connect.

After saving your settings, subscribe to the message notifications in the webhook section. This allows Pabbly Connect to capture any messages sent to your WhatsApp account. Test your connection by sending a message to your WhatsApp, which should now be reflected in Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Messages to Telegram

Now that the trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action. Choose ‘Telegram Bot’ as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the action event as ‘Send a Text Message’.

  • Connect your Telegram bot by entering the token generated from the BotFather.
  • Specify the chat ID of the group where you want to send messages.
  • Map the text body from the WhatsApp message to the message field in Telegram.

Make sure the bot is added to your Telegram group and has admin permissions to send messages. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect can seamlessly forward messages from WhatsApp to Telegram.

5. Finalizing the Automation and Testing

With everything set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test message to your Telegram group to confirm that everything is working correctly. Ensure that the message appears in your Telegram group as expected.

If the test is successful, your automation is complete. From now on, every time you receive a message on WhatsApp, it will automatically be forwarded to your specified Telegram group without any manual effort.
