I made a telegram bot today for an upcoming newsletter growth workshop.

The use case is this:

We’re all together attempting to grow our newsletters in the month of September, and we’ll be together chatting on Telegram. There’s 14 signed up so far.

Note: If you have a newsletter of over 1k subs you can apply here: workshop.hypeletter.com

I wanted to keep track of everyone’s subscriber counts.

Of course I’m going to use a google sheet.

And you’d think I’d just give everyone a google form. I thought of that.

But gosh, we’re all on telegram and the google form is sooooo far away ;)

I wish I could connect the two.

I can.

This tutorial led me to the promised land!

Because I had to give access to a bunch of people, I had to also code up a little more than what he has done.

But if you’re looking to code a telegram bot and only have google sheets. This tutorial will get you far.

And be on the look out soon for a tutorial from me about how my telegram bot experience went. I’m going to test my code out first and make sure everything works and then let you know.
