How to connect Telegram to Tourpublish

Publish bookable tour cards to your Telegram channel or group directly from Tourpublish.

Publish bookable tour cards to your Telegram channel or group directly from Tourpublish.

Before you start

  • A Telegram channel or group you administer
  • Permission to add an admin bot to that channel

Steps

  1. Sign in. Log in to your Tourpublish dashboard and open Integrations.
  2. Choose Telegram. Select Telegram, then Connect. Tourpublish shows you the bot to add and a short verification code.
  3. Add the bot as admin. In Telegram, open your channel, go to Administrators and add the Tourpublish bot with permission to post messages.
  4. Verify the channel. Send the verification code in the channel, or paste the channel handle back into Tourpublish to confirm ownership.
  5. Pick the tours to publish. Choose the experiences you want to promote. Tourpublish attaches the KLNK booking link to every post automatically.
  6. Publish and track. Publish from Tourpublish, then watch clicks and confirmed bookings for that channel in your dashboard.

Tips

  • Give the bot only Post messages rights, it does not need to manage members.
  • Public channels connect fastest because they have a @handle.
  • Pin your best selling tour card so new members see it first.

Troubleshooting

Verification fails

Confirm the bot is an administrator, not just a member, then retry the code from Tourpublish.

Posts are not appearing

Check that Post messages is still enabled for the bot. Telegram removes rights if the bot is demoted.
