How to set up a Telegram CRM in 5 minutes
Setting up a Telegram CRM shouldn't mean a migration project. If your customers already talk to you in Telegram, the whole point is to add structure without adding tools. Here's the exact five-step setup, with real screenshots of each stage from SYNC Hub.
Before you start: what you need
You need two things: a Telegram account and a bot (SYNC Hub gives you one, or connects your own on higher plans). That's it — no spreadsheets to migrate, no separate CRM login. The setup below takes about five minutes and everything lives inside Telegram.
Step 1 — Connect your Telegram bot
Open SYNC Hub from your bot and authorize it. The dashboard becomes your operating surface: real-time message volume, active funnels, open deals, and AI credits, all in one view. This is the home base you'll return to.
Step 2 — Capture contacts automatically
This is the step that saves you the most time. Every meaningful touch — a bot start, a reply to an offer, an opt-in — becomes a contact automatically, tagged and given a status (warm, active, cold). You're not typing anyone in; your contact list builds itself as people interact.
Step 3 — Build your pipeline
A pipeline is just the set of stages a deal moves through: new lead, qualified, proposal, won. SYNC Hub creates a sensible default pipeline for you, and you can rename or reorder stages in seconds. The pipeline is the shared memory that keeps everyone aligned on where each deal stands.
Step 4 — Track deals
Attach a deal to a contact, set its value, and move it through the stages as it progresses. Now you can answer the questions that actually grow revenue: what's open, what's worth the most, and what's due to close. Marking a deal won or lost takes one tap.
Step 5 — Automate follow-ups
The last step is what makes the CRM work while you sleep. Turn on automations: a welcome message for new contacts, a nudge for people who went quiet, a reminder when a lead sits too long in one stage. Automation carries the cadence so nothing depends on someone remembering.
That's it — you have a working Telegram CRM
