Telegram Bridge Bot

Last Updated: Sun Dec 24 2023


The Telegram Bridge allows you to log in to your Telegram with your Matrix Account, bridging all your chats. Once this link is established, group discussions and your most recent conversations will appear on your matrix account.

Warning: If you leave a group discussion that is bridged through your Telegram, it will remove you from it on Telegram as well.

How To Setup Bridge

  • Start a direct message with @telegrambot:cyberfurz.chat
  • Send the message “login” to the bot
  • Login to your Telegram
  • Give the bridge a few minutes to sync your latest conversations, and keep in mind that any conversations not synced right away will sync the next time something is said.
