Connect Telegram Channel Tutorial

Therefore customers can reach your support simply by writing to your Telegram bot and these messages will be delivered to the Tiledesk webchat, along with messages from other channels.

Webhooks Tutorials

This section proposes a set of tutorials to show some common tasks you can address using this feature.

The main purpose of webhooks is to call a user-defined action (in the form of an HTTP endpoint) when specific Tiledesk events occur.

The first tutorial (Custom Request assignment) addresses a custom assignment every time a new request is moved to a Department's pooled routing schema.

The second tutorial (Request transcript on close) shows how you can get your chat transcript on each closing operation (i.e. for the purpose of sending it to your remote CRM to synchronize conversations).
