Use Skillsail in Telegram

You can talk to your Skillsail assistant directly in Telegram — the same assistant that builds and edits your training modules in the web app. Once your Telegram account is connected, just send the Skillsail bot a message: ask it to create a module, rewrite a slide, add a quiz question, or check on your content while you're away from your desk.

This is useful when you want to:

• Capture a course idea the moment it comes to you, straight from your phone.
• Make quick edits — "shorten slide 3", "translate the safety module into Spanish" — without opening the web app.
• Send a photo or PDF from your phone and have the assistant work it into your content.

Connect your Telegram account

1. In Skillsail, open Settings → Agent channels.
2. Click Connect Telegram. Skillsail shows an Open Telegram button with your personal connect link.
3. Open the link. Telegram opens a chat with the Skillsail bot — press Start.
4. The bot confirms the connection. You're ready to chat.

What you can ask

Anything you would ask in the Skillsail web chat works in Telegram too. For example:

• Create something new — "Build a 5-slide onboarding module for new warehouse staff with a short quiz."
• Edit existing content — "Rewrite the intro slide of the fire safety module to be more concise."
• Translate — "Translate the customer service module into German and Spanish."
• Send files — attach a photo or PDF and ask the assistant to use it: "Turn this checklist into a module."

The assistant only works with content in your own Skillsail organization — the one your Telegram account is connected to.

Using the bot in group chats

You can add the Skillsail bot to a Telegram group, for example a team chat where training ideas come up. In groups, the bot stays quiet unless you address it directly:

• Mention it by its username, or
• Reply to one of its messages, or
• Start your message with a command like /ask.

In a private chat with the bot, every message you send reaches the assistant.

Disconnect or switch accounts

• Disconnect: open Settings → Agent channels and remove the Telegram connection. The bot stops responding to your messages until you connect again.
• Switch to a different Skillsail account: a Telegram account can only be connected to one Skillsail account at a time. Disconnect it from the current account first, then connect from the other account with a fresh link.

Troubleshooting

• The bot says the link is invalid or expired — links are single-use and valid for 15 minutes. Generate a fresh one in Settings → Agent channels.
• The bot says my Telegram account is connected to a different Skillsail account — disconnect it in that account's Settings first, then use a new link.
• The bot doesn't answer in a group — make sure you mention it, reply to it, or use a command. Plain group messages are ignored on purpose.
