Set the Trigger application to Telegram and select the appropriate trigger event, which is ‘New Message’. This action will initiate the workflow whenever a new message is received in Telegram.

Once connected, select the table where you want to store the messages. Ensure that the table structure matches the data being sent from Telegram for seamless integration.

In this step, you’ll map the data received from Telegram to the corresponding fields in your MySQL table using Pabbly Connect. Access the mapping section and select the appropriate fields for chat ID, user ID, and message content.

After mapping, save your settings and test the workflow. Send a message in your Telegram group to check if the data is correctly inserted into your MySQL database. Once you confirm that the integration works, you can automate this process for future messages.
