Telegram is a cloud-based messaging platform known for its security, speed, and extensive bot ecosystem. With over 500 million monthly active users, it's widely used for personal communication, business messaging, community building, and automated workflows. People use Telegram for real-time conversations, group collaborations, channel broadcasting, and integrating with the growing ecosystem of Mini Apps that provide interactive experiences directly within the messaging interface. The platform's extensive API and bot framework make it an ideal channel for automated communication and customer engagement.
The Telegram plugin for RUNSTACK empowers AI agents with comprehensive messaging capabilities, including sending and receiving messages in individual chats and groups, managing bot interactions, and processing rich media content. Agents can create custom inline keyboards, handle command responses, and leverage Telegram's Mini Apps framework to build interactive experiences. The integration supports automated notifications, customer service workflows, and seamless user authentication through Telegram's web login system. Agents can monitor conversations, respond to triggers, and maintain persistent communication channels with users across the platform's various interfaces.

Customer support agents can provide instant responses to user inquiries across multiple Telegram groups and channels simultaneously. Marketing agents can broadcast announcements and manage subscriber interactions at scale. Sales agents can qualify leads through automated conversations and integrate with CRM systems. The plugin's ability to handle payments and process transactional messages makes it ideal for e-commerce and subscription-based business models, while the Mini Apps integration allows for creating sophisticated in-chat experiences that normally require external websites or applications.
