Connect a Telegram account

Entergram’s connect dialog offers two methods. Both end up with your account safely connected and (on the Pro plan) analytics enabled automatically.

Method A — QR code (recommended)

Section titled “Method A — QR code (recommended)”
  1. Open Settings → Accounts → Connect account → QR tab
  2. Open Telegram Desktop or mobile → Settings → Devices → “Link Desktop Device”
  3. Scan the QR
  4. If you have 2FA enabled on Telegram, enter your Telegram password

The QR code refreshes every ~30 seconds. If you took too long, a new QR is generated automatically.

Method B — Phone + SMS code

Section titled “Method B — Phone + SMS code”
  1. Settings → Accounts → Connect account → Phone tab
  2. Enter your phone number (international format)
  3. Telegram sends a code (in the Telegram app if you’re signed in elsewhere, otherwise SMS)
  4. Enter the code
  5. Enter the 2FA password if enabled

What happens under the hood

Section titled “What happens under the hood”
  • Every account uses a pure server-side API session — there is no in-browser Telegram client. The Telegram connection lives on the backend; your browser talks to Entergram over a thin WebSocket layer.
  • Session credentials are stored encrypted on Entergram’s servers, never in your browser.
  • Reloading the page (or signing in from a new device) keeps your account connected — no need to redo QR or phone.
  • The phone number, code, and 2FA password are relayed through Entergram’s auth proxy; your browser never talks directly to Telegram.

Analytics

Section titled “Analytics”

On the Pro plan (and the 3-day Pro trial), analytics is wired up automatically when you connect a Telegram account — there is no separate connect-analytics step. The first sync starts immediately and runs in the background; the Analytics page shows a “Syncing” badge until it finishes.

On Basic, analytics isn’t included; upgrade from Settings → Plans (or buy a Pro workspace seat) to enable it.

Account limits

Section titled “Account limits”
  • 5 Telegram accounts per seat by default
  • Buy the Extra Telegram accounts add-on to connect more in the same seat (+€5/month each)
  • The Accounts page shows what’s giving you your current limit (plan default, seat add-on, personal add-on, or admin override)

Disconnecting

Section titled “Disconnecting”

“Disconnect” removes Entergram’s access from that account. The server revokes the session. You can reconnect later at any time.

Session expired banner

Section titled “Session expired banner”

If Telegram invalidates the session — usually because the same account was logged in elsewhere, or because Telegram moved your account to a different region — a yellow banner appears with a Reconnect button. Click it to redo the QR or phone flow.
