Question 1

How do I relay Telegram messages to WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Use the Telegram receive webhook messages trigger to catch incoming messages, then connect a WhatsApp send text message node. Map the Telegram message text into the WhatsApp body and set the recipient.

Question 2

Can WhatsApp messages be posted into Telegram?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the WhatsApp receive message operation and connect a Telegram send message to chat or send message to channel node, mapping the WhatsApp text into the Telegram message.

Question 3

Can I forward images and files between the two apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both nodes support media. Retrieve the file from the source, then use Telegram send photo or send document, or WhatsApp send image or send document, depending on the direction and file type.

Question 4

Do I need a bot for the Telegram side?

Yes, the Telegram node operates through a bot. The bot must be a member of any chat or channel you send to, and the webhook trigger receives messages the bot can see.

How do I keep a Telegram channel mirrored to WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Run a workflow triggered by the Telegram webhook that sends each new message to a WhatsApp recipient, and a second workflow that does the reverse, so both sides stay in sync.
