This is different from the Telegram connector, which lets apps you build with Lovable send messages through the Telegram Bot API. This guide covers how to talk to Lovable through Telegram.

When connected, you can message the Lovable bot to work on your projects from anywhere.On your projects
- Build new apps or modify existing ones
- Fix bugs, add features, and make UI changes
- Publish projects live
- Check edit history and review what changed
- Query your project database with read-only queries
- View analytics for published projects, including visitors, page views, traffic sources, and real-time stats
Across projects
- Read and search code in any workspace project
- Copy assets between projects
- Compare patterns or components across codebases
Beyond code

How to use it
Send a direct message to the Lovable bot in Telegram. Talk to it naturally, without special syntax or commands. For example:Manage your connection
You can view or disconnect your Telegram connection at any time from Settings → Account → Use Lovable everywhere → Telegram.Check status
Go to the Telegram section to see whether you are connected, your Telegram user ID, and when the connection was created.Disconnect
Go to the Telegram section and click Disconnect. The bot stops responding to messages. You can reconnect at any time.Limitations
- Direct messages only. The bot does not respond in group chats, supergroups, or channels.
- Text only. Stickers, voice messages, and images are ignored.
- One account per connection. Each Telegram account links to one Lovable user, and each Lovable user links to one Telegram account.
- Memory is best effort. Repeat important context in new messages.
- Database queries are read-only. The bot cannot create, update, or delete records.
Privacy and security
Messages sent to the bot are processed with your Lovable permissions. The agent can only access projects and data you already have access to. Disconnecting Telegram immediately removes access. Messages sent after disconnecting are ignored.Troubleshooting
