Communities, shops and teachers often run a Telegram group and a WhatsApp audience at the same time. FlowMattic, running on your WordPress site, can pass messages from a Telegram bot or group to WhatsApp through the Cloud API, forward photos and files, and post the same announcement to both, so people get the update in whichever app they use.

When Telegram fires Set Webhook / Watch Updates, FlowMattic runs Send Text Message in WhatsApp Cloud API with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Telegram and WhatsApp Cloud API workflows you can build
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 template
Relay new Telegram group messages to WhatsApp
A Filter passes messages from the group admins only, and each one is sent on to a WhatsApp number, so key updates from the group also reach someone who is not on Telegram.
Set Webhook / Watch Updates→Filter→Send Text Message
Forward photos posted to your Telegram bot to WhatsApp
Field staff send site or delivery photos to a Telegram bot. A Router picks out photo updates and sends each one to the office's WhatsApp as an image message.
Set Webhook / Watch Updates→Router→Send Image Message
Pass documents from Telegram to a WhatsApp contact
Invoices or forms sent to the bot as files are forwarded as WhatsApp document messages, which suits teams where the bookkeeper only uses WhatsApp.
Set Webhook / Watch Updates→Filter→Send Document Message
Translate Telegram announcements for a WhatsApp audience
An AI Agent translates each announcement posted in the Telegram channel into a second language, and the translated text goes out on WhatsApp.
Set Webhook / Watch Updates→AI Agent→Send Text Message
Send the same daily update to Telegram and WhatsApp
A Schedule posts the morning notice, such as opening hours or class times, to the Telegram group and sends a WhatsApp template with the same text, so both audiences hear it together.
Schedule→Send a Text Message→Send Template Message
Invite a new member to the Telegram group over WhatsApp
When your site or shop sends a webhook for a new member, FlowMattic creates a Telegram invite link and sends it to their WhatsApp in an approved template.

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
WhatsApp Cloud API has actions only in FlowMattic, so messages flow from Telegram to WhatsApp and a WhatsApp reply cannot post back to Telegram.
Send Text Message, Send Image Message and Send Document Message reach a number that has an open session with your business. For the first message or a broadcast, use Send Template Message.
The Telegram trigger receives every update the bot can see, including joins and edits. Filter or route on the update type before sending.
Relaying a group's messages shares other people's words. Tell your members the group is mirrored, and relay admin posts only if in doubt.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Telegram and WhatsApp Cloud API connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Two audiences, one post
Write once in Telegram or on a Schedule and both groups of people get the update in the app they open.
Messages go through your server
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site, so relayed messages do not pass through a separate hosted relay.
Busy groups cost the same
Runs are unlimited, so a chatty group does not push up your FlowMattic bill. WhatsApp's own charges still apply.
Common questions
Can I forward Telegram messages to WhatsApp automatically?
Yes. Use the Telegram Set Webhook / Watch Updates trigger with a bot in your group, filter the messages you want, and send them with WhatsApp Cloud API Send Text Message, Send Image Message or Send Document Message.
Can it send to a WhatsApp group?
The WhatsApp Cloud API actions here send to a phone number. To reach many people, send a template message to each number, for example by looping over a list with Iterator.
Can WhatsApp messages go to Telegram?
Not with these workflows, which only send through WhatsApp Cloud API. You can send to both from another trigger, such as a Schedule or Webhook.
Does the bot need to be an admin?
The bot must be in the group and able to read the messages you want to relay. Group privacy settings in Telegram decide which messages a bot sees.
Can I relay polls or contacts?
WhatsApp Cloud API here sends text, templates, images, videos and documents. Turn a poll into text with Text Formatter if you want WhatsApp users to see the question.
