Is the Reddscan Alerts bot a real bot or a notification channel?

Both. Telegram bots are how Telegram delivers any kind of notification, so the Reddscan Alerts bot is the channel — you click Connect in Reddscan, tap START in the Telegram chat, and the bot pairs automatically with your account. From then on every match arrives as a regular Telegram message in that chat.

How fast do Reddit alerts arrive in Telegram?

On the $9 10-Day Pass and the $19/mo Starter tier, Reddscan monitors Reddit within minutes of a post or comment going live and pushes the alert to Telegram immediately. Telegram's native push notification system fires the alert on your phone regardless of which app you have open at the time. The Pass gives you the same speed for 10 days of evaluation.

Why does the Telegram alert not show the full post or content?

Deliberate product decision. Reddscan alerts carry intent class + subreddit only — enough to know whether to act on it. The full match (post title, AI fit score, matched keywords, suggested reply) lives in the Reddscan dashboard. The Telegram alert is a trigger that drives you to the dashboard, not a destination that contains the full match.

Can I get alerts in a Telegram group, not just a private chat?

Yes. Add the Reddscan Alerts bot to your Telegram group as a member, then click Connect in Reddscan and choose the group option. Useful for solo-founder + co-founder team setups where both people want push notifications from the same monitor without setting up separate Reddscan accounts.

Do Telegram alerts work on iOS, Android, and desktop equally?

Yes. Telegram bot messages are regular messages, so they sync across every Telegram client you have signed in to — phone, tablet, desktop, web. The push notification fires on the device that is currently active; the rest receive the message silently.

Why route Reddit alerts to Telegram

Telegram is the highest-attention channel — every alert fires a phone push notification. That makes it the right channel for monitors where you actually want to be interrupted: brand-name mentions, top buying-intent keywords, PR-sensitive threads that need a same-hour reply. Email gets buried in the inbox. Slack assumes the team is sitting at a laptop. Telegram is the channel that wakes a solo founder at 11pm because the buying-intent thread is climbing right now.

Use it surgically — Telegram fatigue is real. Most teams route only their highest-priority Reddscan monitors (brand name + top intent class) to Telegram, and let the broader monitors land in Slack or email.

How to set it up (3 steps)

Setup takes 90 seconds. You pair the bot with your Reddscan account once, then flip channel toggles per monitor.

Step 1
Click Connect in Reddscan
In your Reddscan dashboard, open the product you want to wire up. Find the Notifications section and click Connect in the Telegram row. A popup opens a Telegram deep link to the Reddscan Alerts bot.
Step 2
Tap START in Telegram
In Telegram, tap START in the Reddscan Alerts bot chat. The bot pairs automatically with your Reddscan account and the dashboard flips to Paired ✓ with your Telegram handle shown. Reddscan sends a test message to confirm.
Step 3
Enable Telegram on the monitors you want
Open each Reddscan monitor that should push to Telegram. Flip the Telegram toggle on. Matches start landing on your phone within minutes on the Pass and Starter.

Tips for mobile alerting

High-priority monitors only. Telegram is the channel that interrupts your day. Reserve it for monitors where the interruption is worth it — brand-name mentions, top buying-intent keywords. Let broader monitors land in Slack or email.
Use Telegram Do Not Disturb. If you want alerts but not at 3am, Telegram has a per-chat DND schedule. Set it on the Reddscan Alerts bot chat directly — silent at night, push during your work hours.
Route to a Telegram group for co-founder teams. Add the Reddscan Alerts bot to a 2-person founder Telegram group; both phones ping. Saves a Reddscan-account-per-person setup.
Click through to the dashboard. The Telegram bubble is a trigger. The full match (post title, fit score, suggested reply, threading context) lives in the Reddscan dashboard.
