# Set up Telegram notifications

> Receive new submissions in a Telegram chat through a webhook.

Source: https://docs.formclick.io/help/telegram-notifications

> **Note:** Telegram isn’t a built-in integration. You can connect it in a few minutes with a webhook and an automation tool.

### Step 1: Create a Telegram bot

Message **@BotFather** in Telegram, send `/newbot` and copy the bot token. Add the bot to your chat or group.

### Step 2: Create a catch hook

In Zapier, Make or n8n, create a webhook trigger and copy its URL.

### Step 3: Add the webhook in Formclick

Open your form → **Integrations** → **Webhooks** and paste the URL. See [Configure a custom webhook](https://docs.formclick.io/help/webhook-setup).

### Step 4: Send to Telegram

Add a Telegram “Send message” step with your bot, and write the message using the submission fields, e.g. `data.name` and `data.message`.

### Step 5: Test it

Submit your form; the message should appear in Telegram within seconds.
