External services

This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API to deliver form submissions to the Telegram chat configured by the site administrator.

When an enabled supported form is submitted, the configured Chat ID and the message generated from submitted form fields are sent to Telegram. The Bot Token is used to authenticate the request.

The service is provided by Telegram. Use of Telegram is subject to Telegram’s terms and privacy policy.

Privacy

FormCourier Form Submissions for Telegram does not send form submissions to the plugin author or to any FormCourier server.

When the integration is enabled, submitted form data included in the configured message template is sent directly from the WordPress site to the Telegram Bot API and the Chat ID configured by the site administrator.

The plugin stores its settings and recent delivery logs in the WordPress database. Delivery logs do not store submitted form field values.

Site administrators should make sure their site’s privacy notice accurately describes how submitted form data is processed and which third-party services receive that data.

Do I need a Telegram bot?

Yes. You need a Telegram Bot Token and the Chat ID of the Telegram destination that should receive form submissions.

No. Form submissions are sent directly from your WordPress site to the Telegram Bot API. The plugin author and FormCourier servers do not receive the submitted form data.

What happens when a submission is longer than a Telegram message?
