Alerts

Telegram alerts

Connect your own Telegram bot and freightline messages you the moment a load is marked delivered, with what your factoring company asks for: the load number, customer, PO and amount, and the documents.

Last updated

What you get

  • A Load delivered, ready for factoring message with the load number, customer, PO and amount as fields you tap to copy. The amount is a plain number, so it pastes into a factoring portal as is.
  • The invoice PDF when the load has an invoice, and every rate confirmation and POD as files in the same chat.
  • A warning instead when the rate confirmation or the POD is missing, naming which one, so nothing goes to the factor incomplete.
  • Send factoring packet to Telegram on the load page sends the same files again whenever you need them.

How to connect Telegram

  1. In Telegram message @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the prompts. It gives you a bot token.
  2. Open your new bot and send it any message.
  3. Message @userinfobot. It replies with your chat ID.
  4. In freightline open Settings → Notifications, paste the token and the chat ID and press Send test message.

What it doesn’t do

  • The bot only sends. You cannot update a load or answer a driver from Telegram.
  • Messages go to the one chat you connected. A master switch turns them all off without losing the token.
  • It does not email your factoring company. That is the factoring packet by email (invoicing and factoring).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own Telegram bot?

Yes. You create one with @BotFather in a minute and paste its token under Settings → Notifications. The messages come from your bot to your chat.

What does the delivered message contain?

The load number, customer, PO and amount as tap-to-copy fields, then the invoice PDF if there is one and every rate confirmation and POD as files. If the rate confirmation or the POD is missing, you get a warning naming it instead.
