Connect FilingIQ to Telegram

FilingIQ delivers new filings as Telegram messages from @FilingIQBot. The setup is a single deep-link click: you'll never touch a bot token or a webhook URL. The bot only sends messages to your personal chat, it does not join groups.

What you need

• A FilingIQ account on the Professional or Enterprise tier.
• A Telegram account.

Step by step

1. In FilingIQ, open Settings → Integrations and click Connect Telegram.
2. Your browser opens a deep link to t.me/FilingIQBot?start=<token>. Telegram either opens directly (desktop app, mobile app) or shows a web fallback prompting you to open the app.
3. Click Start in the Telegram chat with the bot. The bot reads the one-time connect token, links it to your FilingIQ account, and replies with a confirmation message.
4. Back in FilingIQ, click Refresh status on the Telegram card. It now shows Connected as @your_username.
5. Open the standard webhooks page, click Add webhook, pick Telegram as the provider, and choose your event types and filters. The URL field is hidden: delivery routes through your linked chat ID automatically.

Message format

Telegram doesn't support Block Kit or rich embeds, so filings arrive as concise Markdown-formatted messages:

*ACME • Insider purchase*
Type: Open-market purchase
Chief Executive Officer bought 12,500 shares at $142.30.

Insiders: 1
Market cap: 12.4B
Latency: 66s

[ View filing ]

The "View filing" button under the message opens the filing in the FilingIQ app. A value the filing does not give reads "not available".

Filtering

Same filters as the other integrations:

• Ticker filter: comma-separated allow-list.
• Watchlist only: only companies on your watchlist and insiders you follow.
• Minimum trade value: only Form 4 trades worth at least the dollar amount you set.

Disconnecting

Open the Telegram card in Settings → Integrations and click Disconnect. This removes the link between your FilingIQ account and your Telegram chat ID; any active webhook endpoints using Telegram stop receiving messages until reconnected.

To also stop the bot from your side, open the chat with @FilingIQBot in Telegram and use Telegram's built-in Block bot action. This is not required: the FilingIQ disconnect already stops all delivery.

Troubleshooting

• Deep link doesn't open Telegram: make sure Telegram is installed and your browser allows custom protocol handlers. As a fallback, search for @FilingIQBot in Telegram manually and send /start <token> using the token from the deep link URL.
• "Connect token expired": connect tokens expire after five minutes. Click Connect Telegram again to mint a fresh one.
• "Telegram integration is not yet available on this deployment": the FilingIQ server hasn't been configured with a bot username. This is a server-side setup item; reach out to support.
• Messages stop arriving: Telegram silently drops messages from bots a user has blocked or muted. Check the bot isn't blocked in Telegram, then wait for the next matching filing to verify delivery.
