In detail

What it does and what it's for

Automating tasks with Telegram Bot allows you to respond immediately whenever a user sends a contact from their address book to the bot. This integration facilitates efficient management of received contact information, optimizing your communication processes.

Upon receiving a contact, an automatic action is triggered that can utilize the provided data, such as the contact's phone number and name, to personalize responses or update databases, thereby enhancing user interaction.


  • To send contacts to a bot, use the attach button in your Telegram application.

How it works

How it fits in an automated task

A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.

This is the trigger

Every time this event happens, the task kicks off on its own. You don't have to do anything.

Add one or more actions

What should happen next, in this app or in any of the 200+ connectable apps.

Turn it on and forget it

The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.

Frequently Asked Questions


How can I limit who can interact with my bot?

You can limit who can interact with your bot by using the 'Task runs when receiving updates from a specific user, group or channel' field in the bot's settings. This field allows you to specify specific users, groups or channels that are able to interact with the bot.

Why can't my bot see messages posted in a Telegram group?

By default, Telegram bots are configured not to listen to messages posted in groups. To allow your bot to see messages in the group, follow these steps:

  • - In your Telegram app, search for the contact @Botfather and enter his chat.
  • - Type the command /mybots in the chat to see the list of Telegram bots you have created.
  • - Select the corresponding bot from the list.
  • - Tap on the 'Group Privacy' option.
  • - Make sure the 'Privacy Mode' option is set to 'Off' so your bot can listen to messages posted by other users in the group.
Another way to ensure that your bot can see all messages posted by group users is to grant it administrator permissions in the group.

Can I pass data to an automatic task that is triggered when a user presses a button?

Yes, by receiving the command from the pressed button in the same task that displays the buttons and then calling to execute the corresponding task as shown in the following video https://youtu.be/VBhifL0abZA
