External Services
This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API (a third-party external service) to deliver notifications.
What is it used for?
When a Contact Form 7 or WPForms submission is received, or a WooCommerce order is placed, this plugin sends a notification message to a Telegram chat, group, or channel configured by the site administrator.
What data is sent?
The data sent depends on which integrations are enabled and how message templates are configured. It may include form field values (e.g. name, email, message) and/or WooCommerce order details (e.g. order number, items, totals, customer name and address). Data is transmitted only when the relevant form submission or order event occurs and only if a valid Bot Token and Chat ID have been configured.
