Telegram + Foldr Integration
Telegram is a cloud-based messenger with 900M+ users and a very capable bot API. Build a Foldr bot that uploads files attached to DMs or group chats and replies with a short link.
How to Connect Telegram to Foldr
Create an inbound webhook in Telegram
In Telegram's webhook / automation settings, add a new webhook that fires on the event you care about.
Point the webhook at Foldr
Use https://foldr.space/api/v1/webhooks/ingest?token=<your-foldr-webhook-token> — Foldr accepts JSON bodies and deduplicates by source ID.
Add an outgoing Foldr webhook (optional)
If you want events to flow the other way (Foldr → Telegram), add your Telegram webhook URL to your Foldr workspace settings.
Common Use Cases
- Drop a Foldr short link into Telegram whenever a file is ready
- Receive Telegram notifications when a Foldr upload finishes
- Use Foldr as the file host when Telegram's native attachments are too limited
- Let Telegram bots respond to mentions with a Foldr URL
Telegram + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Telegram?
You connect Foldr to Telegram via Webhook. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the Webhook integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Telegram's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Telegram with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Telegram — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Telegram?
From Telegram you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Telegram?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Telegram through Webhook, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
