Connect a spreadsheet to a Telegram bot. New or changed rows can post to a chat or group, and messages sent to the bot can be saved as rows or answered from the sheet. Small shops, community admins and field teams use it as a lightweight database with a chat front end, run by FlowMattic on their WordPress site.

1. TriggerNew Spreadsheet Row2. ActionSend a Text MessageWhen Google Sheets fires New Spreadsheet Row, FlowMattic runs Send a Text Message in Telegram with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateWrite announcements in a sheet, one row each. Every new row is posted to your Telegram channel, so the sheet doubles as the plan and the publishing tool.
New Spreadsheet RowSend a Text Message
View the template Staff message the bot with an amount and a note. Text Formatter splits the message, and each expense is added as a row with the sender and date.

A customer or staff member sends a product code or order number to the bot. The workflow looks it up in the sheet and replies in the same chat with the row's details.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Google Sheets and Telegram connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
The data stays in a Google Sheet anyone can read and fix, while customers and staff only ever see a chat.
A bot that answers hundreds of lookups a day runs on your WordPress server with unlimited runs and no per-message fee from FlowMattic.
The same workflow can read a WooCommerce order or a FluentCRM contact before the bot replies, because they live on the same site.
Yes. Start with Set Webhook / Watch Updates so the bot's incoming messages start the workflow, search the sheet with Lookup Row Data, and reply with Send a Text Message using the chat ID from the update.
Send a message to the bot from that chat while the trigger is listening. The captured update includes the chat ID, which you can copy into a step or save in a sheet column.
Yes. Put the file URL in a column and use Send Photo, Send a Document or Send a Video instead of a text message.
Yes. Add one Telegram step per chat, or keep a list of chat IDs and loop over it with Iterator.
Not with New Spreadsheet Row, which fires for new rows. If you want edits to post, use New Or Updated Spreadsheet Row and a Filter on a status column.
