PiWeb Alerts for Contact Form 7 in Telegram

CF7 Telegram Alert connects your Contact Form 7 forms to Telegram, so you can receive instant alerts when users submit a form. It uses your existing CF7 mail template (the “Message body”) and can also forward uploaded files as Telegram documents.

Key features: – Sends CF7 submission content to Telegram when a form is successfully submitted. – Uses your CF7 mail body template so you control formatting and content. – Sends file uploads as Telegram documents (supports multiple files). – Choose one or more destinations: private chats, groups, or channels. – Simple settings page under Contact Form 7 → Telegram alert.

Requirements: – Contact Form 7 plugin (required). – A Telegram bot (created via @BotFather) and its bot token.

Notes on formatting: – The HTML from the CF7 mail body is stripped before sending. Telegram messages are sent in Markdown mode; avoid HTML-only formatting.

External services

This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API in order to send Contact Form 7 form submissions to a specified Telegram chat or group.

When a user submits a form, the plugin sends the following data to Telegram: – Form field values submitted by the user (e.g., name, email, message, or any other fields configured in the form). – Files uploaded via the form, if the form contains file-upload fields.

This data is only sent when a form is submitted, and only to the Telegram Bot API endpoint that you configure by providing your bot token and chat or group ID in the plugin settings.
