Telegram Integration in Durham
Building Telegram bots and notifications for Durham organisations, where the platform decides who can be contacted. A bot cannot start a conversation — the person has to message it first — so any design that assumes you can reach a list of users needs rethinking before it is built rather than after.
Why this comes up
The problem
The plan is to notify a list of users by bot, none of whom have ever messaged it.
What you get
What we deliver
- The contact model established, since users must initiate before a bot can message
- A joining route designed, whether a link, a code or a QR
- Group behaviour understood, because a bot does not see every message by default
- Commands and interactions structured so the bot is usable without instructions
- Bot token treated as a credential, since it grants full control
- Blocks and failures handled, as users can stop a bot at any point

Telegram Integration in Durham — common questions
- Can a bot message someone first?
- No — the person has to start the conversation. This shapes the whole design, because a notification system needs an onboarding step where users deliberately connect, rather than a list of identifiers you can send to.
- How do users connect to it?
- Usually through a link carrying a parameter that ties the chat to their account in your system. Getting that association right at the start is what allows the bot to send anything personalised later, and retrofitting it is considerably more awkward.
- Does a bot see everything in a group?
- Not by default. Privacy settings limit a bot in a group to messages directed at it, which is usually what you want — but a bot designed to react to general conversation will appear broken until that setting is understood and changed deliberately.
- How should the token be handled?
- As a full credential. Anyone holding the bot token can send as the bot and read what it receives, so it belongs in secret storage rather than in configuration files or repositories, and it should be rotatable if it is ever exposed.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
