Feature Availability

Telegram integration must be enabled for your organization. If you don't see the Telegram option in your notification settings, contact your administrator.

Channel Management (Administrators)

Administrators can register company Telegram channels to post vacancies and announcements.

Registering a Channel

Prerequisites

  1. You must be an administrator of the Telegram channel
  2. Connect your personal Telegram account first (see "Connecting Your Telegram Account" above) — this is required before adding channels
  3. Add the Marmend bot as an administrator in your channel:
    • Open your Telegram channel settings
    • Go to "Administrators"
    • Add the Marmend bot (search for the bot username)
    • Grant permission to post messages

Step 1: Go to Integrations Settings

  1. Navigate to Administration > Integrations
  2. Find the Telegram Channels card
  3. Click Add Channel

Path: /company/admin/integrations

Step 2: Enter Channel Information

  1. Enter your channel's username (e.g., @company_jobs) or chat ID for private channels
  2. Click Send Verification Code

Step 3: Verify Ownership

Marmend uses a secure verification process to ensure only authorized users can register channels. The verification code is never posted publicly in the channel. Instead, it is delivered securely:

Scenario A — Channel owner has started the Marmend bot: The verification code is sent as a private message (DM) to the channel owner. Ask the owner to share the code with you if you are not the owner.

Scenario B — Owner hasn't started the bot, but you have Telegram connected: The code is sent as a private message to your Telegram. Check your messages from the Marmend bot.

Scenario C — Neither the owner nor you are reachable via DM: The code is displayed directly in the Marmend interface. Share this code with the channel owner to confirm ownership.

In all cases:

  1. Enter the 6-digit code in Marmend within 10 minutes
  2. Click Verify & Connect

Once verified, your channel appears in the list and is ready for posting.

Tip: For the smoothest experience, ask the channel owner to start a conversation with the Marmend bot before registering the channel. This enables the most secure verification method (Scenario A).

Managing Multiple Channels

You can register multiple channels for different purposes:

  • Job postings channel
  • Company news channel
  • Regional channels

Each channel can have different approval settings.

Post Approval Settings

For each channel, you can enable or disable post approval:

Approval Disabled

  • No OTP verification required

To change the setting:

  3. Toggle the "Require Approval" switch

Approving Posts

When approval is enabled and someone submits a post:

  1. You receive a Telegram message with the OTP code
