How to connect Intercom to Telegram
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Intercom account with permission to install apps
- An active Telegram account with permission to install apps
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Intercom
Click "Add Connection" and select Intercom from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Intercom's authorization page. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Authenticate Telegram
Same process for Telegram. Click "Add Connection," select Telegram, and authorize access. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in intercom or new message received in telegram. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in telegram. Map the data fields between Intercom and Telegram so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Intercom and Telegram. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Everything you need to know about connecting Intercom and Telegram.
How do I connect Intercom to Telegram?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Intercom and Telegram via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Intercom and Telegram?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Intercom events to Telegram actions, trigger Telegram updates when Intercom data changes, create Telegram records from Intercom events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Intercom and Telegram integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Intercom-to-Telegram workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Intercom data secure when connected to Telegram?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Intercom or Telegram passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Intercom and Telegram?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Intercom or Telegram. For example, create a workflow where Intercom events update Telegram, and a separate one where Telegram changes sync back to Intercom. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Intercom and Telegram?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Intercom and Telegram, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
