What a business bot does here

Customer support bot

AI takes the first pass on every DM, answering from your docs. Your team steps in with full context when it matters.

Group mirror

Add the bot to your supergroup and every customer gets their own forum topic. Reply from the group or the inbox — same thread either way.

See how it works →

Proactive pushes

Broadcasts, campaigns, and flow-triggered messages through your bot — batched and paced so Telegram never rate-limits you.

AI personas

Give the bot a name, a voice, and boundaries. Same knowledge, a different personality for each audience.

The problem

Why support on Telegram usually breaks

01

Your competitors dump Telegram into email.

Telegram messages end up in whoever's phone saw them first, then half of them get screenshotted into email. There's a better way.

02

Most tools treat Telegram like an afterthought.

Crisp, Intercom, and Zendesk bolt Telegram on with a webhook and call it a day. We built it native — stickers, topics, mini apps, the whole thing.

03

Your community already lives somewhere.

Already running an official group with thousands of members? Keep it. We mirror it into your inbox and map each chat to its own topic. Nothing for your community to learn.

Two modes

Run a bot, mirror a group, or both

Bot mode

A customer-facing bot that answers in DMs. AI handles the first pass; your team jumps in on anything tricky.

How it works

  1. 1Create a bot with @BotFather.
  2. 2Paste the token into Lane.Chat.
  3. 3Users DM the bot — replies land in your inbox.

Group-mirror mode

Mirror a community group into your inbox. Each user's messages become their own topic — no migration, no disruption to the group.

How it works

  1. 1Add your bot to the group as admin.
  2. 2Turn on mirror mode in settings.
  3. 3Each chat becomes a topic. Reply from the web app.
Setup

Go live on Telegram

Four steps, roughly two minutes. Everything below is also in the product.

  1. 1Grab a bot token from @BotFather.
  2. 2Paste it in Settings → Channels → Telegram.
  3. 3Users DM your bot — or add it to a group and we mirror the thread into your inbox.
  4. 4Reply from the Lane.Chat web app; the user sees it in Telegram.

Written from the exact product you'll be clicking through — not from someone's imagination. Start with the bot, mirror your group, then wire in your team.

Questions

Things people ask before signing up

Do I need a Telegram Business number?
No. You need a bot token from @BotFather — that's it. No Business number, no SIM, no KYC. Takes about thirty seconds.
I already have a Telegram group with thousands of members. Will this break it?
Add our bot to the group as an admin and enable mirror mode. We pick up existing members automatically; each chat becomes its own topic in your inbox. No migration, no disruption.
What about Telegram's rate limits?
We do the boring batching and backoff for you. If you're broadcasting to a big list, we pace it so Telegram doesn't rate-limit you — and retry anything that bounces.
How do you handle stickers and voice notes?
Stickers, voice notes, GIFs, and animated stickers all come through as native Telegram media — no file re-upload, no quality loss. Your agents see and send the real thing.
Which channels can I connect?
Web widget, Telegram (bot + group mirror), WhatsApp Business, Slack, and native iOS/Android SDKs. REST API and webhooks for everything else.
Can I use this as a Telegram CRM?
That's half the point. Every chat becomes a contact with history, notes, assignment, and priority — so your team works Telegram like a shared inbox instead of a pile of unread DMs. And the API lets you sync whatever you need into the tools you already run.
Do I need a developer to set up a Telegram bot for my business?
No. Create a bot with @BotFather inside Telegram, paste the token into Lane.Chat, and the webhook configures itself. No code, no server to babysit. If you do have developers, there's a full API waiting — you just won't need them to go live.
Can the bot message customers first?
Yes — with one Telegram rule attached: bots can only message people who have messaged them at least once. For everyone who has, you can send broadcasts, campaigns, and flow-triggered pushes. We handle the batching, pacing, and opt-outs.

Ready when you are.

Grab a bot token, paste it in, and you're live. No sales call required.
