Get form submissions as Telegram messages on your phone
FormThunder sends each form submission to a Telegram chat through its own bot, so all you set on the form is a chat ID. Start a chat with the bot or add it to a group, put the chat ID in the form's settings, and new submissions arrive as messages. Telegram delivery needs the Pro plan.

Set it up
- Open the form's Integrations settings in the dashboard, which names the FormThunder bot to use.
- Send the bot
/start, in a private chat or in the group you've added it to. It replies with your chat ID. - Save that chat ID on the form, then send a test.

message: Do you take on small projects?What to know about Telegram
- Group and channel IDs are usually negative numbers. Keep the minus sign.
- If the bot isn't in the chat, or you've blocked it, Telegram refuses the message. FormThunder marks that delivery failed straight away because retrying won't help. Add the bot back and press resend.
- Messages are plain text up to about 3,800 characters.
