To start the integration process between Telegram and MySQL, first, access Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, you can easily sign up for free, which takes just a couple of minutes.

Once signed in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create new workflows that automate tasks between various applications. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your Telegram to MySQL integration.

2. Setting Up Trigger in Pabbly Connect with Telegram

In this step, you will set up the trigger using Pabbly Connect to capture messages from your Telegram bot. For this, select Telegram as your trigger application and choose the ‘Webhook Slatch Updates’ event. This event will trigger whenever a new message is sent to your bot.

• Select ‘Telegram Bot’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘Webhook Slatch Updates’ as the trigger event.
• Add a new connection by providing your Telegram bot token.

To obtain your bot token, open Telegram, search for the BotFather, and create a new bot. After naming your bot, you will receive a token that you need to paste back into Pabbly Connect. Ensure that your bot has admin access in the Telegram group to receive messages.

3. Configuring Action in Pabbly Connect with MySQL

The next step involves configuring the action in Pabbly Connect to insert the captured Telegram messages into your MySQL database. Select MySQL as your action application and choose ‘Insert Row’ as the action event.

To establish a connection, you will need to input your MySQL credentials such as username, password, host, database name, and port. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’ to connect Pabbly Connect with your MySQL database.

• Input your MySQL username and password.
• Provide the MySQL host and database name.
• Select the appropriate port for MySQL.

Once the connection is successful, you will need to select the table where you want to store the messages. Map the fields from the Telegram message to the respective columns in your MySQL table to ensure that each message’s details are stored correctly.

4. Testing the Integration Between Telegram and MySQL

After configuring the trigger and action, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Send a test message in your Telegram group to verify that the workflow captures the message and inserts it into your MySQL database.

Return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save and Test Request’ button. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a successful response indicating that the message was captured and stored in the database.

To confirm, go to your MySQL database and browse the table you set up earlier. You should see the details of the test message you sent from Telegram. This step verifies that your integration is working as intended.

5. Finalizing the Integration Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To finalize your integration between Telegram and MySQL using Pabbly Connect, ensure that all configurations are saved and that the workflow is activated. This integration will now automatically capture any new messages sent to your Telegram bot and insert them into your MySQL database.

Each time a new message is received, Pabbly Connect will trigger the action to insert the message details into your database, allowing you to maintain a backup of all Telegram messages effortlessly. You can send additional test messages to confirm that the workflow continues to operate smoothly.

This setup not only saves time but also ensures that your Telegram messages are securely backed up in your MySQL database automatically.
