Client Requirements

Real-Time Notifications

Implement a system that can send real-time alerts and messages to the Telegram group based on shipment statuses and updates from Salesforce.

Integration with Salesforce

Enable seamless communication between the Telegram bot and Salesforce to log interactions, manage inquiries, and track logistics processes efficiently.

Telegram Group Creation

Establish a dedicated Telegram group for logistics operations to facilitate direct communication among team members and stakeholders.

Chatbot Development

Create a Telegram chatbot that interacts with the group, allowing for automated notifications and updates related to shipments and logistics operations.

 

Challenges

Fragmented Communication Channels

The client was using multiple platforms for communication, leading to delays and miscommunication among logistics teams and partners.

Manual Shipment Tracking

Shipment updates and inquiries were being handled manually, resulting in slower response times and potential disruptions in service.

Difficulty in Tracking Interactions

Monitoring communications and interactions across different channels was challenging, limiting visibility for logistics managers.

Lack of Automation

Without an integrated solution, automating notifications and managing communications was cumbersome and inefficient.

Solutions

Telegram Group and Chatbot Creation

The client established a dedicated Telegram group for logistics operations and developed a chatbot using Telegram’s Bot, enabling automated interaction and streamlined communication within the group.

Salesforce Integration

The integration was accomplished using Queueable Apex in Salesforce. This allowed the chatbot to send messages to the Telegram group by making API callouts to the Telegram server with the access token and endpoint URL.

Access Token and Chat ID Configuration

The chatbot was configured with an access token, allowing it to interact with the Telegram API. The chat ID of the group was obtained to facilitate message delivery.

Real-Time Messaging

The integration facilitated the sending of real-time messages and notifications to the Telegram group based on shipment updates, delivery statuses, and inquiries logged in Salesforce, enhancing operational efficiency.
