How to Connect Telegram to PingRoom

With PingRoom Pro, you can connect one Telegram chat, tap Start in the PingRoom bot, return to PingRoom, and use Send test to confirm the link. Received Pings can then appear in Telegram as a mirror; Pings from public Rooms are excluded.

PingRoom remains the source. Telegram gives you another place to notice the signal—it does not move the Room or its history out of PingRoom.

Connect your Telegram chat

Before you start, sign in to both PingRoom and Telegram on the same phone and make sure your PingRoom account has Pro.

Then:

1. In PingRoom, open Profile.
2. Choose External Channels.
3. Choose Telegram.
4. Tap Connect Telegram. PingRoom opens a one-time bot link in Telegram.
5. In the Telegram chat, tap Start.
6. Return to PingRoom and wait for the Telegram screen to show Connected to followed by the chat name.

Telegram documents this bot-link pattern in its deep-link guide: a link can open a bot and present a Start button with a one-time parameter. You do not need to create your own bot or paste a webhook URL.

If you wait too long or PingRoom does not show the connected state, go back and choose Connect Telegram again. Do not forward or reuse the connection link.

Send the built-in test

Once the screen shows the connected chat:

1. Leave Enabled on.
2. Tap Send test.
3. Open Telegram and look for the PingRoom test message in the connected chat.
4. Return to PingRoom and check the last-sent time.

That test proves that the current PingRoom account can reach the selected Telegram chat at that moment. It does not prove that every future alert will be displayed: connectivity, Telegram settings, phone permissions, and device state can still affect presentation.

Pingo the Pigeon, PingRoom's fictional Chief Marketing Officer, treats the test bell as a serious instrument. He is not connected to the chat, cannot read its messages, and cannot send a Ping for you. The test is still a human-run check.

Know what gets mirrored

Use this boundary before you rely on Telegram:

This is a personal notification channel, not an integration installed into a Room. Other members do not need your Telegram account, and connecting it does not add Telegram to the Room.

For the wider model—including Slack, Discord, and Teams—read Channel mirrors and where Pings land.

Run a one-minute rehearsal

After the built-in test passes, use one harmless Room Ping to check the real path:

1. Pick a small private Room and tell one member you are testing.
2. Ask them to send a non-urgent Ping you can identify.
3. Confirm the Ping appears in PingRoom.
4. Confirm the matching mirror appears in the connected Telegram chat.
5. Compare the Room name and action so you know which source produced the mirror.

Do not use a public Room for this rehearsal; public-Room Pings are intentionally excluded. Also keep PingRoom notifications enabled. A mirror is a second surface, not a replacement for the primary signal.

Disconnect without leaving a stale link

On the Telegram connection screen, turning Enabled off starts the same confirmed disconnect flow as choosing Disconnect. Confirm it only when you want to unlink the chat completely.

After disconnecting:

• PingRoom clears the stored chat binding.
• Telegram mirroring stops.
• Re-enabling later requires a fresh connect link and another tap on Start.
• Run Send test again after reconnecting.

If your goal is fewer interruptions rather than a permanent unlink, first decide which channel should carry the signal and review your broader alert-fatigue setup.

Open External Channels, connect Telegram, and run the built-in test before depending on the mirror for a time-sensitive Ping.
