Who is this for? Solo founders, sales teams, and event organizers who need email outreach without expensive tools but want full control from Telegram.


What problem is this workflow solving? Email campaigns are painful:

  • Expensive tools ($50+/month)
  • No mobile control
  • Manual tracking
  • Unsubscribe nightmares

This workflow gives you Zapier-level outreach for free from Telegram → Gmail → Sheets.


What this workflow does

Telegram Control /outreach command launches campaigns Smart Sending Gmail + random delays (anti-spam) Real-time Tracking Open pixels + unsubscribe webhooks Sheets Dashboard Leads, logs, stats in one place Compliance Auto-unsubscribe + opt-out tracking

Full flow: Telegram Bot → Parse Command → Sheets Leads → Gmail Send → Pixel/Unsub Track → Update Dashboard


Setup (7 minutes)

  1. Telegram: Create bot → Get token → Update chatId
  2. Gmail: OAuth2 credential (any account)
  3. Google Sheets: Create sheet with tabs:
  • Dashboard (stats)
  • Leads (email, name, status)
  • Logs (sends, opens, unsubs)
  1. Config: Update Sheet ID + webhook URLs
  2. Test: /outreach cap:2 → Verify sends

Telegram commands:
