Telegram + Poe integration
Connect Telegram to Poe
ConnectChats brings your Telegram chats into Poe. Ask Poe to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Poe can do with your Telegram
ConnectChats gives Poe a small set of tools. Poe calls them when you ask about your Telegram chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Poe reads your unread Telegram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Poe searches your Telegram history and quotes the message.

Draft replies
Poe writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Telegram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How Telegram and Poe work together
ConnectChats signs in to your Telegram account as a new session, the same way Telegram Desktop does, and brings in your private chats and groups. Because Telegram keeps chats in the cloud, it does not depend on your phone being online.

Telegram in ConnectChats
Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Private chats and groups are supported. Secret chats are not, because Telegram keeps them only on the device where they were started. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions. ConnectChats shows up as an active session in Telegram under Settings, Devices, where you can end it at any time. The free plan links 2 chat apps and keeps messages for 30 days.

ConnectChats in Poe
ConnectChats works with Poe through an MCP server or connector setting, where Poe offers one for your account. Add it with https://api.connectchats.com/mcp, sign in with your passkey, and the bots you use can see the chats you share. Many of the models on Poe, such as Claude and GPT, also use ConnectChats in their own apps. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Poe without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.
Your Telegram stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Poe only sees the Telegram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Poe prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Telegram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
