# Reddit alerts to Telegram: press Start, every thread scored

Canonical: https://redwatcher.com/reddit-alerts-to-telegram

**In short**

**Redwatcher sends Reddit alerts to Telegram through its own bot: press Connect Telegram, press Start when Telegram opens, and from then on every post or comment that matches your keywords, brand or competitors above the minimum score you set arrives as a message with the score, the reason and a link. Telegram is on every plan, from $29 a month.**

[redwatcher.com/pricing](/pricing) on 21 September 2026. Redwatcher wrote this page about its
own product, and the connection steps and the message are described from the product as it
runs today. The screenshot is Redwatcher's own Alerts step with the example project shown on

none, and we did not capture the screen again on 21 September 2026.

## What arrives in Telegram?

A Redwatcher alert in Telegram is one message per thread from the Redwatcher bot, sent to you
directly or into a group you chose. The first line carries the score out of 100 in bold, whether
the match is a post or a comment, the subreddit and the project, which is one brand or client on
Redwatcher with its own keywords, subreddits and channels. The second line says how long ago the
thread was posted and the time in UTC. Then the title in bold, the first part of the text up to
400 characters, and a line in italics that starts *why* and gives the reason for the score. The message ends with two links: *Open the thread*, which goes to Reddit, and *Wrong scoring*, which
opens a page for that thread where you say what was wrong with the score, and the answer
becomes a rule that every later match is judged against.

## How do you connect Telegram to Redwatcher?

To connect Telegram, choose Telegram among the four channels on the Alerts step of setup, or on
the Setup screen of a project that already exists, and press *Connect Telegram*. Telegram opens
in a new tab with the Redwatcher bot, you press *Start*, and the Setup page picks the connection
up on its own: the channel shows as connected, with nothing to paste. You do not need a bot token or a chat id. The link Telegram opened is good for 15 minutes. If you press Start and the channel does not show as connected, reload the Setup page, or press *Connect Telegram* again for a fresh link. A *Send a test* button then sends a real message so you see one arrive before the first
alert. The Alerts step is the last one in setup, and it can be finished later from Setup, so a
project can start checking Reddit before Telegram is connected.

The Telegram card reads Message you or a group. Slack posts into a channel, email goes to any inbox, and the webhook is a signed POST to your endpoint. Every channel is on every plan.")

## How do you post Reddit alerts into a Telegram group?

Reddit alerts go into a Telegram group when you press *Post into a group instead* under the
Connect Telegram button and then *Choose a group*: Telegram asks which group, adds the
Redwatcher bot to it, and the Setup page picks the connection up the same way as a direct
message. If the bot is already in the group, Setup shows a short message to send in that group
instead, and sending it connects the group. Everyone in the group then sees every alert, so a
team that answers threads together can share one group, and an agency can give each client's
project its own group.

## When does a Telegram alert go out?

A Telegram alert goes out every time a thread clears your bar, which is the minimum score you
set for a thread to be sent. The message is sent as soon as Redwatcher has scored the thread
above your bar, and Redwatcher checks every subreddit you track around the clock, multiple times
every hour, on every plan. Threads under your bar are not sent, and they stay in the project's inbox on Redwatcher, the screen that lists every match the project has scored, where you can read them. Read from [redwatcher.com/pricing](/pricing) on 21 September 2026.

Of the four channels, Telegram suits a person or a small group reading on a phone, because the message is short and the score comes first. Slack suits a team that answers threads
together from one channel, and [Reddit alerts to Slack](/reddit-alerts-to-slack) describes that
message. Email suits anyone who works from an inbox, and
[Reddit alerts by email](/reddit-alerts-by-email) describes that one. The webhook suits Zapier,
Make or your own system. A project can have more than one channel, and the same thread goes to
each of them.

## What does the Telegram integration not do?

Redwatcher's Telegram integration does not answer messages sent to the bot, and Redwatcher does
not write or post replies on Reddit, because posting under your name carries account
consequences that have been publicly reported. The *Open the thread* link takes you to the
thread and you write the answer from your own account.

## What does Telegram cost with Redwatcher?

Telegram is on every Redwatcher plan at no extra charge. The plans are $29 a month per project
for 25 keywords and 25 subreddits, $49 for 50 of each, and $89 for 100 of each. Every plan includes Slack, Telegram, email and a signed webhook, a reason with every score and unlimited team members, and on every plan a score you correct becomes a rule. There is no charge per
alert. The trial is seven days with no card. Read from [redwatcher.com/pricing](/pricing) on
21 September 2026.

[Start free](https://app.redwatcher.com/signup) Seven days, no card. Press Connect Telegram on the
Alerts step, press Start, and the first thread above your bar arrives as a message.

## What other questions come up about Telegram alerts for Reddit?

### How do you get Reddit alerts in Telegram?
Reddit alerts reach Telegram on Redwatcher in three steps: choose Telegram on the Alerts step of
setup or on a project's Setup screen, press Connect Telegram, and press Start when Telegram
opens. The Setup page picks the connection up on its own, a Send a test button sends a real
message, and from then on every thread that scores above your bar arrives as a message with the
score, the reason and a link to the thread. Telegram is on every plan.

### Do you need a Telegram bot token or a chat id for Reddit alerts?
A bot token or a chat id is not needed to send Reddit alerts to Telegram on Redwatcher. The
Connect Telegram button opens Telegram with the Redwatcher bot, pressing Start connects the
chat, and the Setup page picks it up on its own. There is nothing to copy out of BotFather, the Telegram account that issues bot tokens, and nothing to look up. If you press Start and the channel does not show as connected, reload the Setup page, or press Connect Telegram again for a fresh link.

### Can Reddit alerts go to a Telegram group?
Reddit alerts go to a Telegram group on Redwatcher: press Post into a group instead under the
Connect Telegram button, then Choose a group, and Telegram adds the Redwatcher bot to the group
you pick. If the bot is already in the group, send the short message Setup shows in that group
and it connects. Everyone in the group sees every alert, which suits a team that answers threads
together or an agency with one group per client.

### Can you send Reddit alerts to more than one Telegram chat?
Reddit alerts can go to more than one Telegram chat on Redwatcher: add Telegram more than once in
a project's Setup and connect a different chat or group each time. Each brand or client is its
own project with its own channels, so an agency gives each client's alerts their own group. Every
plan has unlimited team members and includes Telegram. Read from redwatcher.com/pricing on
21 September 2026.

### What does a Redwatcher Telegram message contain?
A Redwatcher Telegram message contains the score out of 100 in bold, whether the match is a post
or a comment, the subreddit, the project, how long ago the thread was posted with the time in
UTC, the title in bold, the first part of the text up to 400 characters, a why line with the
reason for the score, and two links: Open the thread, which goes to Reddit, and Wrong scoring,
which opens the page where you correct the score. Every thread is its own message.

### How quickly does a Reddit alert reach Telegram?
A Reddit alert reaches Telegram as soon as Redwatcher has scored the thread above your bar, and
Redwatcher checks every subreddit you track around the clock, multiple times every hour, on
every plan. Each thread that clears the bar is sent as its own message, without waiting for any
other thread. Threads under your bar are not sent and stay in the project's inbox on Redwatcher, the screen that lists every match. Read from redwatcher.com/pricing on 21 September 2026.

### Can you fix a wrong score from Telegram?
A wrong score can be corrected from Telegram on Redwatcher: the Wrong scoring link at the end of
the message opens a page for that thread where you say what was wrong, and it becomes a rule
that every later match is judged against. The thread is re-scored, and the rule is kept with the
project's other scoring rules, where it can be read and edited later.

### Does Redwatcher post replies to Reddit from Telegram?
Redwatcher does not post replies to Reddit from Telegram or from anywhere else. The Open the
thread link takes you to the thread, and you write the answer yourself from your own account,
because posting under your name carries account consequences that have been publicly reported.
The bot does not answer messages sent to it either.

### What happens if the Connect Telegram link expires?
Redwatcher's Connect Telegram link is good for 15 minutes. If you press Start and the channel does not show as connected, reload the Setup page and it shows. If the 15 minutes have passed, press Connect Telegram again
and a fresh link opens. The project keeps checking Reddit either way, whether or not a channel is connected yet.

### Is Telegram on the cheapest Redwatcher plan?
Telegram is on the cheapest Redwatcher plan, $29 a month per project for 25 keywords and 25
subreddits, and on the $49 and $89 plans, along with Slack, email and a signed webhook. Every
plan has the same alert channels, the same checking schedule, a reason with every score and
unlimited team members, and the price is per project with no per-seat charge. The trial is seven days with no card.
