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.
Connect links are personal, work only once, and expire after 15 minutes. If a link has expired, generate a new one from the same place in Settings.

​
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.
