What’s new in BookingPress - Telegram Notification Addon 1.1
Version 1.1 · Sep 6, 2025

What it does
Appointment businesses depend on people knowing when they are booked, when something changes and when a visit is coming up. Email works, but many clients and team members check messaging apps more often. This add-on gives your BookingPress site a way to reach them on Telegram, so booking updates arrive in the app they already use. Reminders sent this way can help people remember their appointments and cut down on missed visits.
Setup starts by connecting your Telegram account with API credentials and confirming the connection with a one-time password (OTP). From there you build message templates for each booking event you want to cover. Placeholders in the templates pull in the details of each appointment automatically, so every message reflects the actual booking. You then decide who gets each notification: customers, staff members, administrators or a mix. It works alongside the BookingPress appointment booking plugin, which needs to be on your site.
Best for
- Salons, clinics and studios running BookingPress
- Service businesses whose clients prefer Telegram over email
- Teams that want staff alerted about new bookings
