Extract each new message from a third-party Telegram chat, group, or channel and store it in a Google Sheets spreadsheet
Automatically save messages from any Telegram group, channel, or chat (even if it’s not yours) straight into a Google Sheet. No tech wizardry required.
If you’re manually checking Telegram chats, groups, or channels and copy-pasting important messages into Google Sheets, you know the headache: messages pile up at all hours, risking lost insights, missed deadlines, and hours wasted on repetitive admin work each week. Without automation, valuable context is scattered and inaccessible, harming collaboration, making reporting a chore, and exposing your business to risks from lost information or blind spots.
This Botize formula changes everything by automatically monitoring your chosen Telegram chat, group, or channel, instantly extracting every new message (including text, sender, time, and even media links) the moment it appears, and logging it neatly in your Google Sheets. You stay fully in control: select which conversations to track, customize data fields, and set preferences for what’s saved and when. Suddenly, your message record is complete, always up to date, shareable, and ready for analysis or audits—the clunky copy-paste grind disappears, and your team gains instant visibility and real-time insights.
Ready to leave busywork behind and keep your Telegram intelligence organized effortlessly? Either follow the simple step-by-step guide to set up this formula or use the ready-to-go Botize automation with a single click.
