Setting Up Telegram Integration with Pabbly Connect

The first step in automating your workflow is to set up the Pabbly Connect integration with Telegram. This integration allows you to capture messages from your Telegram group and send them to Google Sheets automatically.

After naming it, select the folder where you want to save this workflow and click on ‘Create’. This will open up the trigger and action setup.
