Forms to Telegram
A Google Forms™ add-on by 301.st that sends every new form response straight to your own Telegram bot — cleanly formatted, the moment it is submitted, with no third-party server in between.
How It Works
When someone submits your form, an installable trigger runs inside your Google account (Google Apps Script), reads that response, and calls the Telegram Bot API directly using your own bot token. Your data goes from your Google account straight to your bot — 301.st operates no server in the path and never receives, stores, or sees your responses or your token.
- 1. Connect your bot — create one in about a minute via @BotFather and paste its token into the add-on's setup panel.
- 2. Pick a destination — the add-on detects your chats, or you enter a chat id; forum topics are supported.
- 3. Save & go live — every new response now lands in Telegram automatically, even with the form closed.
Telegram-Native Features
- Real HTML formatting — bold labels and links, clean layout, not broken markdown.
- The message follows your form — in the default mode new questions flow in and removed ones drop out automatically, so nothing is lost silently.
- Pick and reorder fields — choose which answers are sent, and in what order.
- Topics — deliver into a specific forum thread of a group.
- Presets — start from a ready template (for example, Contact request) in one click.
Built for Reliability
- Retries with backoff on Telegram rate limits.
- Plaintext fallback if markup is ever rejected — the message still arrives.
- Long responses are split on tag boundaries, never mid-formatting.
- A visible Last delivery status in the setup panel, so failures never hide.
- A built-in Test button to verify the pipeline before going live.
Privacy First
Forms to Telegram is built so that your data never has to trust us: there is no 301.st server in the delivery path. Your bot token is stored in the form's Apps Script document properties, inside your own Google account, and is only ever sent to Telegram's API. Responses are read from the submit event and delivered immediately — we retain nothing.
The add-on requests only narrow, least-privilege permissions: reading the single form it is installed in, calling the Telegram Bot API, running its submit trigger, and showing its setup panel in the form editor.
