How to set up Telegram integration with Zendesk? – OAPPS for Zendesk

First, install the application from Zendesk Marketplace. Next, go to the application settings: Support - Admin - Channel integration - Telegramer.

Switch to Tab «Accounts» and press «Add account».

General

Fill all required fields and click «Save».

Account name. Use meaningful names for account names. They can be used later to customize reporting and various rules
Bot token. If you have already created a bot for Telegram, BotFather has given you a token. Enter it into the field. If the bot has not been created, use @BotFather or read the article How to create Telegram-bot by @BotFather first

We have provided several additional options for configuring our application. Perhaps they will be useful to you. Switch to the Advanced Settings tab.

Advanced

Use tags for each account to configure the routing of incoming requests.

If you leave your e-mail address, the system will notify you in case of problems with the integration. For example, you changed the password for the Instagram account and the application no longer accepts calls. We will send you a notification and you will not miss messages from your customers.

Set the subject length and format. By default, the first client message is used as the subject of the request. If you apply these settings, then the topic will be added with a prefix [T] and the subject text is trimmed to the value specified as the «Ticket subject length».

Group chat Settings

You can configure with @Botfather if your bot can be added to telegram group chats. All messages from the bot will create comments on tickets. You can change it here, so only @bot mentions and replies to bot comments will be added to tickets.

Greetings

you can set up a greeting message. A user who starts the bot for the first time receives the message

Request user phone before chat

This option will request your users to submit the phone number associated with the telegram account.

Set up a reply message
