Step-by-step guide
How to connect GitHub to Telegram
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active GitHub account with repository access
- An active Telegram account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate GitHub
Click "Add Connection" and select GitHub from the app directory. You'll be redirected to GitHub's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Telegram
Same process for Telegram. Click "Add Connection," select Telegram, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in github or new message received in telegram. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in telegram. Map the data fields between GitHub and Telegram so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between GitHub and Telegram. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect GitHub to Telegram?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both GitHub and Telegram via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between GitHub and Telegram?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new GitHub events to Telegram actions, trigger Telegram updates when GitHub data changes, create Telegram records from GitHub events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the GitHub and Telegram integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your GitHub-to-Telegram workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my GitHub data secure when connected to Telegram?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your GitHub or Telegram passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between GitHub and Telegram?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either GitHub or Telegram. For example, create a workflow where GitHub events update Telegram, and a separate one where Telegram changes sync back to GitHub. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect GitHub and Telegram?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use GitHub and Telegram, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
