- Connect Telegram forwarding
In Account settings choose Connect Telegram. SMS forwarding is separate from signing in with Telegram and requires this link.
- Telegram forwarding
- Not connected
- Start the bot with your account
Open the expiring bot link and start the bot with the intended Telegram account. Wait for the website to report the connected identity; generate a new link if the old one expired.
- Bot link
- Expiring connection link
- Bot action
- Start
- Enable or pause delivery
Once connected, enable SMS forwarding. Turning the switch off pauses delivery while keeping the connection; Disconnect removes the connection and requires reconnecting later.
- Telegram identity
- @example_demo
- SMS forwarding
- On
- Delivery follows the current owner
Forwarded SMS uses the current owner’s connection. A transferred number must not keep delivering to its former owner. Telegram delivery can be repeated, so use the message’s order context.
- Current owner
- recipient@example.com
- Delivery destination
- Current owner’s linked Telegram
Connect the forwarding bot
In Settings, find Telegram SMS forwarding. Check availability and choose Connect. Open the generated bot link and start the bot with the intended Telegram account. Keep the settings page open while it checks connection. An expired link needs a new Connect attempt.
Telegram login and SMS forwarding are separate. Being signed in through Telegram does not by itself enable message delivery.
Pause or disconnect
After connection, review the enabled state. Turn forwarding off to pause future messages while keeping the connection. Turn it on to resume. Disconnect removes the integration; reconnect when you want a new link.
If status cannot load, use Retry. If the connection is missing or the link expired, reconnect rather than repeatedly opening an old link. Incoming messages remain available in the site's message views even when forwarding is paused.
Check the current owner
Forwarding is for the current owner's incoming order messages. After a number transfer, the previous owner's connection does not grant continuing delivery. The new owner should configure their own forwarding.
Check the site for the authoritative message and timestamp if Telegram delivery is delayed or duplicated. Keep forwarded SMS private; they can contain sensitive codes.
