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.
What a Reddit alert looks like in Telegram
Single message bubble from the Reddscan Alerts bot, intent + subreddit on one line, single inline "View Dashboard" button below. Telegram's lock-screen preview shows the first line — so the AI intent class lands on the lock screen before you even unlock the phone.
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.
