How to Set Up Telegram Auto-Reply Bot

Respond to every lead instantly — even while you sleep. This guide shows you how to set up AI-powered or template auto-replies for Telegram.

Prerequisites

  • A Telegram account (6+ months old recommended)
  • 24GO account (free trial available)
  • At least one Telegram group where your target audience hangs out

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Connect your Telegram account to 24GO

Go to Accounts → Connect Account. Enter your phone number, verify with the code sent to Telegram. 24GO uses encrypted session storage — your credentials are never exposed.
2

Enable the DM Listener

Go to Listeners → Start Listener. This monitors incoming messages to your connected account. When someone messages you, 24GO captures the message and lead data.
3

Configure auto-reply rules

Go to Settings → AI Auto-Reply. Enable auto-replies and choose your mode: AI (generates unique responses using LLM) or Template (uses your pre-written replies).
4

Set intent thresholds

Configure which leads get auto-replies. AI replies work best for HOT leads (high purchase intent). Template replies handle WARM leads. COLD leads get no reply.
5

Configure work hours and rate limits

Set your timezone and working hours (e.g., 9am-9pm Bangkok time). Set max replies per hour to avoid looking spammy. Start with 5-10 replies/hour.
6

Test with a real message

Send a test message to your connected account from another phone. Verify the reply comes through, check timing, and adjust templates if needed.

Common Mistakes

  • Starting with too many replies per hour — start low (5-10) and increase gradually
  • Using the same template for all leads — personalize by intent level
  • Ignoring work hours — auto-replying at 3am looks suspicious
  • Not testing before going live — always test with a real message first
  • Using a brand new account — wait at least 1-2 months before enabling auto-replies

Expected Results

  • Instant response time (under 30 seconds)
  • Higher lead conversion — leads responded to within 5 minutes convert 5x more
  • 24/7 coverage — never miss a lead, even while sleeping
  • Consistent messaging — every lead gets the same quality response
