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.
