Proxybot assists teams and individuals to manage securely customer communications from their personal Telegram apps.

This Proxybot is a Telegram bot designed to forward all incoming messages to its owner. Proxybot enables it's owner to:

  • Receive all incoming messages: When the bot's username is published, any messages sent to the bot are forwarded to the owner.
  • Reply to messages on behalf of the bot: The bot's owner can reply back to customers directly in the chat with the bot.

Messages to the chat with bot always go to the last contact. To reply to a specific message from the chat history, simply select the message and press "Reply" as demonstrated above. Bot marks with ⚡️ symbol last unreplied message from each customer.

Also a good way to organize clients communications is by creating a supergroup with topics and setting it as a default place to receive messages. Proxybot will then automatically create an individual topic for every new contact. Here is how it looks like:

To reapeat this you will need:

  1. Create a group
  2. Enable topics in group's settings (making it a supergroup)
  3. Add the bot to the group
  4. Promote bot to admin with "Мanage topics" and "Delete messages" privileges
  5. Issue /setdefault command in General topic of the supergroup
  6. (Optional) add more members to the group. Any member of the group can make replies in the same way as the bot owner does.

Voice messages, video messages, files and any other media-format supported by the Telegram can be proxied in this manner.

Security considerations

Proxybot is designed with respect to personal privacy and security in mind. The source code of the bot is 100% open and free. When you use our service to run proxybot we take the responsability to run exactly the same code, which is published in the repository.

TOKEN value is not stored anywhere in the database. Proxybot receives it as part of the webhook URL and uses it only until finishing handling the incoming request.
