Telegram Reply Bot

Telegram Reply Bot from AppFollow helps you reply to user reviews right from your Telegram app or a group chat. You can get all app reviews and manage them not leaving your Telegram chat.

How to set up

1. Add @appfollow_reply_bot to be able to reply to app reviews:

2. Click "Start" (or type /start), and you will see the Chat id you need to switch on the bot

3. Copy the digits and go to > Integrations. Choose the app you need and Telegram integration

4. Paste the Chat id into the "Webhook URL" field

5. Filter reviews you want to get:

- Use "Only Featured" to get and react only to Featured reviews;

- Use "Import History" to get app reviews for a previous month

- Select languages from the drop-down menu

6. Click "Add integration"

Now you can check that the integration works correctly. To do so go to your AppFollow Integrations page, find the Telegram integration you've just added, and click "Actions" - the three dots near the integration. Click "Send Test Notification". If everything works correctly, you will get a review into your Telegram app. Note that test notifications will not have a reply button.

To be able to send replies to app reviews, set up integrations with App Store Connect and Google Play Console first.

How to use the bot

As soon as you've set up the bot, you will start getting new and updated app reviews. The message will contain the 4 buttons:

1. Permalink - use it to share a review on public, e.g. in social media or on your website

2. Translate - will redirect you to your AppFollow account to translate a review

3. Add tag will also redirect you to AppFollow to add a tag manually

We will add the auto-translate and tags features in one of our next releases. Stay tuned.

4. Reply - allows you to type your reply into the Telegram message box, and your reply will be publish in the app store
