CF7 Telegram Alert connects your Contact Form 7 forms to Telegram so you can receive instant alerts when users submit a form. It uses your existing CF7 mail template (the 「Message body」) and can also forward uploaded files as Telegram documents.
Key features:
– Sends CF7 submission content to Telegram when a form is successfully submitted
– Uses your CF7 mail body template so you control formatting/content
– Sends file uploads as Telegram documents (supports multiple files)
– Choose one or more destinations: private chats, groups, or channels
– Simple settings page under Contact Form 7 Telegram alert
Requirements:
– Contact Form 7 plugin (mandatory)
– A Telegram Bot (created via @BotFather) and its Bot Token
Notes on formatting:
– HTML from the CF7 mail body is stripped before sending. Telegram message is sent in Markdown mode; avoid HTML-only formatting.
External services
This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API in order to send Contact Form 7 form submissions to a specified Telegram chat or group.
When a user submits a form, the plugin sends the following data to Telegram:
– Form field values submitted by the user (e.g., name, email, message, or any other fields configured in the form).
– Files uploaded via the form, if the form contains file upload fields.
This data is only sent when a form is submitted, and only to the Telegram Bot API endpoint that you configure by providing your bot token and chat/group ID in the plugin settings.
The service is provided by Telegram Messenger Inc.
