Telegram
Connecting Telegram links Bitment as a device on your own Telegram account, authorized by QR code, the same way Telegram Desktop links a new device. Once linked, your Telegram chats, including full history, sync into Bitment and you can read and send from here.
Where to find it
Settings › Connections › Telegram.
Key concepts
- Personal, per account. A Telegram connection belongs to you. Unlike Signal, you can link more than one Telegram account if you use more than one.
- You choose what syncs. Right after linking, before any message content syncs, you decide whether to bring everything in or review first.
Connect your account
- Open Settings › Connections › Telegram.
- Follow the connect flow, which shows a QR code.
- Scan it with your Telegram app to authorize Bitment as a linked device.
Choose what syncs (privacy controls)
Right after linking, you're offered a choice:
- Sync everything now, or
- Review conversations first: a searchable list of your contacts and conversations, with no message content synced yet, where you exclude anything you'd rather keep out of Bitment before syncing starts.
That list stays available afterward as Synced conversations, a permanent section on this page. Include or exclude any conversation at any time; excluding one purges it from Bitment and stops syncing it going forward. Unlike Signal, including a Telegram chat again fully re-syncs its history, since Telegram can resend it.
This page also has a danger action, Delete & re-sync messages, which deletes every synced message, keeps your conversation list and exclusions, and lets you review before syncing resumes; every included chat then re-syncs its full history.
What shows up in Messages
Open Messages and switch to the Telegram tab. Reading a conversation, or marking it read, syncs back to your phone and other Telegram devices too, exactly as if you'd read it in the official app. A client's or contact's Telegram username, recorded on their profile in Clients, matches their conversations automatically onto that client's own Telegram page.
Sending
Type in the message box like any other conversation, or send a screenshot by pasting it. The assistant can read your Telegram conversations, draft replies, start brand-new conversations with people you haven't messaged yet, and manage a group on your behalf, all staged for your approval before anything sends.
Disconnect
Use Disconnect on this page. Reconnect any time with a fresh QR code.
