Integrate Telegram with Inbox
Telegram has been rated as one of the most popular and used social media messaging platforms with a total of 950 million users worldwide, as of 2024. Telegram for business provides many features that are useful for brands to communicate with their consumers and prospects effectively.
With Telegram, you'll be able to reach a larger number of audience when compared to other messaging platforms because there is no requirement of a phone number if you want to get in touch with any user. You just need to know their Telegram username to initiate a chat. This proves to be an advantage, thereby providing a more secure experience to brands and customers alike and safeguarding privacy.
Responding promptly to your customers and prospects makes your brand look professional and responsive. You can make your communication easy and quick, and also maintain professionalism in your messages by setting up quick replies.
To use Telegram from Zoho Social, you can start by creating a bot on the platform and connecting it to Social. You'll then be able to manage your interactions by monitoring and responding to them from Zoho Social's Inbox module. You can also set up quick replies and add them to your messages instantly.
