# Manage Your iMessage Outreach from Telegram

Your leads don't wait for you to open a dashboard. Now you don't have to.

The Tuco Telegram Bot brings your entire iMessage workspace to Telegram — reply alerts, AI draft approvals, and one-command message sending.

## What You Can Do

### Real-Time Reply Notifications

When a lead replies to your iMessage, you get an instant Telegram notification with their name, phone number, and message preview. Reply to the notification to send an iMessage back — no app switching needed.

### AI Draft Approvals

Using the Knowledge Base in Co-pilot mode? AI drafts a reply and sends it to your Telegram for approval. Tap **Approve** to send instantly, **Reject** to discard, or reply with edited text to send a modified version.

### Quick Commands

- `/whoami` — See your workspace name, plan, line count, and member count
- `/send +1234567890 Your message here` — Send an iMessage directly from Telegram
- Reply to any inbound notification to respond from Tuco

## How to Connect

1. Go to **API Keys** in your Tuco dashboard
2. Click the **Telegram** tab
3. Click **Connect Telegram** — opens @TucoAIBot in Telegram
4. Send `/start` — the bot links to your workspace automatically

That's it. You'll start receiving notifications immediately.

## Who It's For

- **Founders** who want pulse-check alerts without living in the dashboard
- **Sales reps** who need to respond to hot leads from their phone
- **Agencies** managing multiple workspaces — each workspace links to a separate Telegram chat

## What Shows Up in Telegram

- Inbound reply notifications with lead name and message preview
- KB auto-reply drafts with Approve/Reject buttons
- Sequence step approval requests with message preview
- Onboarding events (new signups, goals submitted)
- Billing events (checkout started, subscription changes)
