Share my friends’ check-ins in the Telegram group
Effortlessly share your friends' check-ins right in your Telegram group.
Are you tired of manually checking and sharing your friends’ Foursquare check-ins with your Telegram group, only to realize you’re missing key updates—or wasting crucial time copying messages? Without automation, you risk missing out on trending hotspots, slow down group conversations, and end up glued to your screen just to keep everyone informed. That repetitive grind isn’t just tedious—it drains your time, blocks real engagement, and makes your group chat lose out on that ‘insider culture’ your friends crave.
With this Botize formula, every hour it scans for new check-ins from your friends within any category you like (for example, 'Food' spots) on Foursquare. Once it finds a new place, it instantly crafts a neat Telegram message—automatically telling your group who checked in, where, and in which city. No more copying, pasting, or forgetting to share; what used to be endless manual searching is now a breezy background task, letting you spend less time managing updates and more time actually enjoying the conversations and planning your next meetup.
Ready to transform your group’s experience? Follow the step-by-step guide to set up this formula with Botize—customize the notification frequency, choose any Foursquare category or add your own filters, and personalize the Telegram messages to your group’s style. Or, jump ahead and activate everything instantly through the ready-to-use formula in Botize. Let’s make staying connected automatic!
