Telegram and WhatsApp are extremely popular platforms for groups and channels. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to automatically sync Telegram and Whatsapp groups and channels, combining them together.

Why combine Telegram + Whatsapp Groups?

• Got a Telegram group that you’d like to read, but prefer to have all of your groups on WhatsApp? Simply auto forward the group to a WhatsApp group.
• Managing a Telegram Channel, and would like to attract followers that only use WhatsApp? Mirror your Telegram Channel to a WhatsApp channel, and double your audience reach with no extra effort.
• Got a WhatsApp community, but some of your audience prefer Telegram? Simply sync your WhatsApp group to a Telegram group or channel.
• You can connect a Telegram group and a WhatsApp group, so that members of both groups can communicate without leaving their platform of choice

Let’s see how to get that done, using the  WHAMetrics Telegram WhatsApp Bridge.

How to forward messages from Telegram to WhatsApp automatically

To automatically forward messages from a Telegram channel / group to WhatsApp, we simply setup a bridge in WHAMetrics Bridge. Here is how:

1. Log into WHAMetrics Bridge ( you can sign up for WHAMetrics Bridge here )
2. Add the destination WhatsApp group to the console
3. Select that group, and click “Telegram Bridge”
4. Type in the URL of the channel or group you’d like to forward to WhatsApp (e.g. t.me/channelnamehere )
5. You can configure filters in the Bridge Settings, such as not forwarding messages with specific keywords, times of day, and so on.
6. Click OK to confirm

That’s it! Your bridge is set up. Any message posted into the Telegram channel, will be automatically forwarded to the WhatsApp group.

Note: WHAMetrics should be allowed to post  in the WhatsApp group to which you are mirroring the Telegram channel. If the group only allows Admins to post, you need to make the WHAMetrics number into an Admin.

How to connect a WhatsApp group to a Telegram group

Same as forwarding a Telegram group to a WhatsApp group, you can forward a WhatsApp group to a Telegram group. To do that, simply follow the same bridge instructions as above. Then, when you have the WhatsApp Group and Telegram Channel defined, mark it as “WhatsApp to Telegram bridge”.

Of course, WHAMetrics should be allow to post to the Telegram group / channel that you choose as the destination, so you would need to give it post permissions.

What kind of analytics do I get in WhatsApp?

Telegram shows all kinds of handy analytics on your channel. WhatsApp by itself, does not. Fortunately, WHAMetrics shows an incredible amount of analytics for your WhatsApp groups – even more than Telegram. For example, you will see growth charts, engagement and reactions (sortable, per user and per message), view counts, unique members across various groups, and many many more.

Are messages adjusted for WhatsApp?

Yes, WHAMetrics will adjust your messages to show up in WhatsApp. For example, WhatsApp cannot show text with a link (e.g. like this ), so in WhatsApp that link would appear as: like this https://www.whametrics.com . There are all kinds of other subtle adjustments so that your messages look right in WhatsApp.

Can I add a WhatsApp signature to my messages?

Yes, you can. WHAMetrics allows you to define a standard signature that gets appended to all messages. The most popular signature type is a “join group” link, so that if your message is forwarded, it will include the link to your group.
