Telegram Notifications for Every Conversion: A Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s face it: Skype had a good run, but Telegram is the new go-to for affiliate marketers. It's fast, secure, mobile-friendly, and lets you keep tabs on everything in real time — including your CrakRevenue conversions.

Whether you're managing campaigns on the move or just love instant alerts, Telegram is a powerful tool for real-time affiliate postback notification. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to set up a Telegram bot to receive a private message each time you generate a conversion.

The first method does not require coding (we're using Pipedream). If you prefer doing it yourself, we also cover the advanced developer method using Node.js.

⚖️ Optional: Fine-Tune Notifications

Now that you're set to receive alerts for every new conversion, you can take things a step further by customizing how and when those notifications reach you. Whether you want to change the sound effect or manage Do Not Disturb exceptions, it's all in your hands. Want alerts only from CrakRevenue or only for conversions? Adjust your Telegram notification settings by:

• Go to Telegram Settings > Notifications
• Customizing exceptions for specific bots/channels

Alternative: Advanced Users — Node.js Script with Telegram Bot API

If you're into code and want a fully customizable experience, here's how you can build your own notification system using Node.js.

What You'll Need:

• Telegram bot (as created above)
• Hosting environment (e.g., affiliate tracking AWS Lambda, Heroku, or your own server)
• Basic knowledge of Node.js

Steps:

1. Create a Node.js script that accepts GET requests
2. Extract postback data from the URL parameters
3. Send the data to your Telegram bot using:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<your_token>/sendMessage

1. Format the alert message just like in the no-code method
2. Deploy and test!

This gives you full control and is ideal for those already integrating postbacks programmatically.
