Reach out first

Working with Telegram Bot Inquiries in amoCRM

Integrating Telegram Bot with amoCRM allows you to establish a clear and manageable process for handling inquiries. All conversations are displayed within the CRM, simplifying communication control, increasing response speed, and improving service quality.

💬 New Telegram Bot Inquiry = New Deal

When a potential client first messages you on Telegram Bot, a new deal is automatically created in the selected sales pipeline in amoCRM. The deal will be tagged "Telegram" and contain user data, including the conversation, name, and, if available, phone number. This allows you to start working on the request immediately without manual data entry.

🔗 Linking Inquiries to Existing Clients

If the client's Telegram account is already registered in the amoCRM database (e.g., by phone number), the new conversation will automatically be linked to the existing contact or previous deal. This helps maintain interaction history and avoid duplicating clients in the CRM.

📨 Initiating Conversations with Clients

With amoCRM, managers can reach out to customers first via Telegram Personal or WhatsApp (including both web and business accounts) — all you need is the customer's phone number. This feature comes in handy for reengaging warm leads, sending reminders, discussing terms, or sharing documents.

By integrating with Umnico, communication channels expand even further. Through the Umnico widget within amoCRM, it's possible to reach out first across Telegram Personal, WhatsApp, Email, and WhatsApp Business API. This ensures efficient interaction with clients.

🔄 Continuing Conversations in Closed Deals

If a client messages again after a deal is closed, you can choose where to direct the message: to the last closed deal or create a new one. This helps retain the context of the inquiry and saves the user's time, especially in long-term or cyclical sales.

👥 Manual and Automatic Routing

Using built-in amoCRM tools or integrations with Umnico, you can assign deal responsibilities manually or automatically — for example, based on inquiry type, time of day, or user workload. This increases response speed and helps meet SLAs.

📊 Source Analytics

In amoCRM, you can track how many deals came through Telegram Bot, at what stage they stall, how many sales are made, and how much time users spend responding. Thanks to tags and reports, you'll easily understand how effective this communication channel is.
