Opt-in is the product
Generate a contact-bound or capture-new link, QR, or pasteable button. The lead opens Telegram, taps Start, and lands on the right GHL contact — with source and timestamp recorded.
Optigram for Telegram · GoHighLevel Marketplace
Telegram in the GHL inbox — starting with opt-in, not cold DMs.
Agencies asked for a GoHighLevel Telegram integration. Telegram bots cannot start chats, so Optigram makes the first tap easy: a deep link, QR, or button. After that, conversations, workflows, and AI replies work like any other channel. Agencies mark up and rebill the app to their clients.
How a conversation starts
The contact starts the thread in Telegram. You do not start it from GoHighLevel.
- Share an Optigram opt-in link or QR (email, SMS, site, or print).
- The contact opens Telegram and taps Start.
- That first message appears in Conversations, mapped to the right contact.
- Then you reply, run workflows, or use AI on that existing thread.
Do not open Conversations and send the first message. Telegram bots cannot start a chat. A send to
someone who has not tapped Start fails with no_telegram_optin — that is expected, not a
bug. See How to use.
Inbox, workflows, AI
Inbound Telegram text and photos appear in Conversations. Replies and workflow sends go back out,
rate-limited at 30/s per bot and 1/s per chat. No mapping means a clear
no_telegram_optin failure, not a raw error.
Built for agencies
Per-location install, each sub-account’s own BotFather bot, Marketplace billing you can rebill. Self-serve dashboard for token, health, logs, and opt-in links — plus docs so you should not need to open a ticket to get live.
