Chat SDK adds Telegram adapter support

By Steven Van ·

The adapter supports mentions, reactions, and inline-keyboard buttons, though Telegram limits bots to cached message history and 64-byte callback data.

Chat SDK, part of Vercel, now includes a Telegram adapter alongside its existing Slack, Discord, GitHub, and Teams support, so teams can build Telegram bots from the same codebase as their other chat integrations.

  • Bots can handle mentions, message reactions, direct messages, and typing indicators.
  • The adapter supports single file uploads and renders basic text cards, with buttons and link buttons shown as Telegram's inline keyboard elements for interactive workflows.
  • Because Telegram doesn't expose full historical message APIs to bots, message history depends on adapter-level caching. Callback data is capped at 64 bytes, and modals and ephemeral messages aren't supported.
