Telegram bot token and Discord webhook setup

Telegram needs a bot that's an admin of your channel. Discord needs a channel webhook URL.

What you see

Connecting Telegram or Discord is refused, or posts to them fail.

  • Invalid bot token — check the value from @BotFather.
  • Bot token and channel are both required.
  • That doesn't look like a Discord webhook URL (https://discord.com/api/webhooks/…).
  • Invalid or revoked Discord webhook URL — create a new one and retry.

Why it happens

Neither has a sign-in flow, so you paste the details in. Telegram publishes through a bot you create, and that bot must be allowed to post in your channel. Discord publishes through a webhook created for one channel.

How to fix it

  1. Telegram: in Telegram, message @BotFather, create a bot and copy its token.
  2. Add the bot to your channel as an admin with the Post messages permission.
  3. In Connections, paste the bot token and your channel, then save.
  4. Discord: in the channel's settings, open Integrations → Webhooks, create a webhook and copy its URL.
  5. In Connections, paste the webhook URL. If it was deleted in Discord, create a new one and paste that.
