Telegram URI Scheme to Send Message to Specified User

Question

I'm looking for a way to send message to telegram user from website with specific message. Something like WhatsApp's

https://wa.me/12345678901?text=Custom+message

I've found just this:

https://t.me/username

This allows to start chat with custom user but with blank message field.

Is there any way to start a chat with custom user (even he is not in my phonebook or userlist) with fulfilled message field?

Answer 1

Any of the following formats should work:

https://t.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
https://telegram.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
tg://msg_url?url={url}&text={text}

This means you will have as options:

• url : URL to share.
• text : Text to share.

The official documentation confirms as much.

Thanks for your answer. Such url will open telegram and ask to select a user. I need something that will open direct chat with custom user. – Revulsion

Hi, Ariakas! Right, as indicated by the documentation, there is no such thing. Feel free to take a look at this related answer I have: https://mcmap.net/q/1925514/-linkedin-share-to-individual – Tardiff

Answer 2

<a href="tg://msg?text=Hello&to=+42333" id="telegram_share" class="mobileShare" title="inviteFriends" alt="telegram_share”/>

You can try redirecting above link in WebView.

Thanks for the response. That link just opens telegram without opened chat. I've tried phone numbers with/without plus sign and username. – Revulsion
