Automated Telegram Enquiry Capture

Every hour, WebRun opens Telegram, reads the new messages in the chats and groups you nominate, picks out the genuine enquiries, logs each with the sender and the ask in Google Sheets, and leaves a matching reply sitting in Gmail as an unsent draft.

In short

How do I capture and answer enquiries that arrive on Telegram?

WebRun reads the Telegram chats and groups you nominate every hour and picks out genuine enquiries. It logs each one in Google Sheets with the sender, the ask, and any contact details, then writes a matching reply into Gmail as an unsent draft, so you approve and send in seconds.

  • No enquiry gets buried under group chatter
  • A reply is ready to approve within the hour
  • Every enquiry lands in one sheet with sender, ask, and status

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens web.telegram.org in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Telegram - read new enquiries
    telegram.org
    WebRun in Telegram: read new enquiries
    WebRun opens Telegram to read new enquiries.
    • Open Telegram Web and go to the chats and groups you nominated
    • Read messages received since the last run
    • Keep the ones that are genuine enquiries: a question, a request for a quote, or a booking ask
    • Capture the sender's name and handle, the time, and the ask in one line, plus any email address given

    Done when Every new enquiry is captured with its sender, time, and ask.

  3. 2
    Google Sheets - log every enquiry
    google.com
    WebRun in Google Sheets: log every enquiry
    WebRun opens Google Sheets to log every enquiry.
    • Open the enquiry log in Google Sheets
    • Add one row per enquiry with date, chat, sender handle, the ask, and any contact details given
    • Set the status to New and leave the owner column blank for a human to claim
    • Skip messages from a sender already logged today unless the ask is different

    Done when Every new enquiry has one row in the log with status New.

  4. 3
    Gmail - leave a reply in drafts
    gmail.com
    WebRun in Gmail: leave a reply in drafts
    WebRun opens Gmail to leave a reply in drafts.
    • Open Gmail and create a draft reply for each enquiry that supplied an email address
    • Answer the actual question in a short, on-brand paragraph and add your usual next step
    • Leave every message as an unsent draft. Never send, and never reply inside the Telegram chat
    • Add the enquiry row reference to the draft subject so the log and the draft stay matched

    Done when Each contactable enquiry has an unsent Gmail draft waiting for approval.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reply to people on its own?

No. Every reply is left as an unsent Gmail draft for you to read, edit, and send. WebRun never sends an email and never posts a message back into a Telegram chat, so no enquirer hears from it directly.

Which chats does it read?

Only the chats and groups you nominate. Personal conversations and any group left off the list are never opened, and nothing from them is logged or summarised.

What if someone gives no email address?

The enquiry is still logged in Sheets with the Telegram handle, marked as needing a reply in-app. No draft is created, because there is nowhere to send it, so a human answers in the chat instead.

Put this on autopilot.
