About this plugin
Rnotifier for Telegram sends a message to your Telegram bot every time a supported contact form is submitted — no need to keep checking your email inbox. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Telegram.
It’s a connector, not a form builder: it works alongside the form plugin you already use.
Supported form plugins:
- Contact Form 7
- WPForms
Only the sections for form plugins that are actually active on your site appear in the settings — nothing to configure for plugins you don’t use.
Features:
- One Telegram bot, one or more chat IDs (comma-separated) — notify yourself and a team chat at once
- Per form plugin: enable/disable, restrict to specific form IDs, and a custom message template
- Message placeholders: {all_fields}, {field_KEY} for a single field, {form_title}, {page_url}, {submitted_at}
- “Save & test connection” button to check your bot token and chat ID before going live
- A short error log (last 20 entries) if a message fails to send — without storing the submitted data itself
- No notification is sent for any form until you explicitly list its form ID — nothing goes out by default
External services
This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API to deliver form-submission notifications to the Telegram chat(s) you configure. This is a required, core part of how the plugin works — there is no way to send a Telegram message without contacting Telegram’s own servers.
- What it is and what it’s used for: the Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org), operated by Telegram, used to send a chat message via your own bot whenever a supported form (Contact Form 7 or WPForms) is submitted on your site.
- What data is sent, and when: every time a form you’ve enabled notifications for is submitted, the submitted field values (whatever the form collects — for example name, email, phone, or message) are sent to Telegram’s servers as the text of the bot message, together with the page URL and submission time. This only happens for forms you’ve explicitly enabled and listed a form ID for — nothing is sent by default.

This is a transfer of your site visitors’ personal data to a third-party service; make sure this is covered by your own site’s privacy policy.
The plugin itself does not otherwise store submitted form data — only the bot token, chat IDs, your message templates, and a short log of delivery errors (which does not include submitted field values).
