Currently, Intercom users rely on third-party integrations to connect Telegram to their inbox. While these solutions offer functionality, they introduce potential security and privacy risks by requiring users to share sensitive customer data with external vendors. Many businesses, especially those handling sensitive information (e.g., healthcare, finance), are understandably hesitant to adopt such solutions.

I’m adding native Telegram integration built and maintained by Intercom into the wishlist.

Considering how widespread Telegram is, it's unfortunate that this feature isn't available yet. Our experience with Octopods can't be called positive—over six months, we faced recurring incidents with this vendor, ranging from message transmission delays of up to four hours to cases where they mistakenly forwarded messages from their other clients into our chats.

Greetings!
I fully support the author and join in the wish for native Telegram integration. We also use Octopods and have our own nuances with this experience. The top challenge for us is linking a Telegram conversation to an existing user in Intercom.

Looking forward to updates on this matter with great interest! Thank you!
