Overview
This AI agent seamlessly integrates with your Telegram account, monitoring multiple chats, groups, and channels in real time. It uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to detect messages that indicate sales opportunities, client interest, or valuable business leads. Once identified, these key messages are automatically prioritized and forwarded to your CRM system, Slack, WhatsApp, or any other messenger you choose, ensuring that no opportunity slips through the cracks.
Designed for sales teams, business developers, and entrepreneurs, the tool helps automate lead qualification, reduces manual monitoring efforts, and accelerates your sales pipeline—all while keeping your workflow centralized and efficient.
Problem
Sales, marketing, and research teams often miss out on valuable customer intent signals shared in Telegram communities, group chats, or channels. Monitoring these messages manually is time-consuming and error-prone. There’s no easy way to extract actionable user data from Telegram conversations and sync it with structured tools like CRMs or databases. This results in missed leads, poor follow-up, and inefficient workflows.
Solution
Telegram Listener automates the process of monitoring Telegram channels or chats by listening for new messages, extracting relevant user data, and syncing it with Airtable in real time. It can also upload user avatars to Cloudinary for enriched contact records. With a Dockerized setup, it's easy to deploy and integrate into existing systems. This tool enables sales and ops teams to capture intent signals effortlessly, organize user insights, and act on them without manual tracking.
Features
Real-Time Message Monitoring
The system continuously listens to specified Telegram channels, groups, or private chats and detects every new message as it arrives. This ensures no sales signals, questions, or user activity go unnoticed, making it ideal for tracking intent or community engagement.
User Data Extraction
Automatically extracts key user details from each incoming message, including Telegram ID, username, full name, and message content. This data provides context about who is engaging and helps build meaningful user profiles without manual input.
Custom Chat Selection
Allows administrators to specify exactly which Telegram channels or group chats the application should monitor. Whether tracking customer support groups, niche sales communities, or internal feedback groups, you stay in control of the data flow.
Airtable Integration
Seamlessly integrates with Airtable to store and structure extracted data. Each new message or user interaction is logged as a new record, enabling teams to manage and filter conversations like CRM entries perfect for sales tracking, community insights, or lead generation.
Cloudinary Avatar Upload
If a Telegram user has a public profile photo, the system downloads and uploads it to Cloudinary, generating a permanent, shareable URL. This image URL is then added to the Airtable record, enhancing the visual identification of each user.

Questions &Â Answers
What is Telegram Listener and who is it for?
Telegram Listener is a lightweight application that monitors selected Telegram channels or chats for new messages, extracts user data, and syncs it with tools like Airtable and Cloudinary. It’s primarily designed for but not limited to sales, marketing, research, or operations teams who want to track leads, intent signals, or community interactions automatically.
How does the app connect to Telegram?
The app uses your Telegram account credentials: your API ID, API Hash, and session string. It authenticates and connects via Telegram’s MTProto protocol. Once authenticated, it can monitor messages in channels or groups where your account is a member.
Is it safe to use my personal Telegram credentials?
Yes, the system uses session-based authentication, and your credentials are never shared or exposed outside your own environment. We recommend storing all sensitive information in environment variables and using secure deployment practices. But keep in mind existing limitations and don't spam other users, you may get a warning or permanent account suspension.
Can I choose which Telegram chats or channels to listen to?
Absolutely. You can specify one or multiple chat IDs or usernames in the configuration, allowing precise targeting of which groups or channels to monitor for new messages.
Is there a limit to how many chats it can listen to?
There is no hard limit, but performance may vary depending on your server capacity and Telegram rate limits. Dockerization helps manage scaling in a controlled environment.
Can I integrate this with other tools besides Airtable?
While the default version integrates with Airtable and Cloudinary, the codebase can be extended or forked to connect with any database or service via REST APIs including Notion, Google Sheets, Firebase, or CRM tools.

We built a Telegram CRM without writing a line of code. Thanks to Telegram Listener, our community managers now have full visibility on user interactions. We even tag power users and reach out to them through targeted campaigns.

The setup took 10 minutes with Docker, and it started feeding data into Airtable immediately. Cloudinary integration for avatars was a surprising but welcome bonus.
