Macaly’s Telegram connection lets you chat with the Macaly agent from your phone. Send a message in Telegram, get a reply, keep working on your projects without opening the web app.
Available on the Pro and Enterprise plans

​
What you can do

The Telegram agent works on the same projects you build in the web app. Anything you’d normally ask the agent to do, you can ask from Telegram:
  • Start a new project. Describe what you want to build and the agent gets to work, just like in the web app.
  • Edit your existing projects. Ask for changes, fixes, or new sections. If you have several projects and don’t say which one, the agent will ask.
  • Publish and manage. Publish a project, change its subdomain, or check what’s live.
  • Ask quick questions. Get help, ideas, or status updates without breaking your flow.
When the agent makes changes, it sends you a preview link so you can check the result without leaving Telegram.

​
What you can send

The agent currently works with:
  • Text messages. Just type and send.
  • Voice messages. Macaly transcribes them and replies. Useful when typing isn’t practical.
Photos, videos, and files aren’t supported yet. Replies come back as plain text without rich formatting or link previews.

​

​
Good to know

  • No bot setup required. You don’t need to create your own Telegram bot or get an API key. Just connect from Settings and start chatting.
  • Credits work the same as in the web app. The agent’s work uses credits at the same rate as in the web app, plus a small extra amount when you send voice messages (for transcription).
  • One workspace per Telegram account. Your Telegram account can only be linked to one Macaly workspace at a time, but each workspace member can connect their own account. To use your account with a different workspace, disconnect first.
  • Voice message size limit. Voice messages can be up to 10 MB. Longer recordings won’t go through.
