Telegram has no comment-to-DM. Mastak builds it for you.

Every time someone comments "where do I buy?" or "how do I join the course?" in your discussion group, it's manual work or a lost lead. Mastak catches those comments, opens a bot DM, qualifies interest, and sends a payment link — all without you touching anything.

The gap Telegram left in your sales funnel

You built a Telegram channel. Maybe 5,000 subscribers, maybe 50,000. Your posts get engagement. People respond in the discussion group. And every single time someone writes "how do I buy this?" or "is there a course?" it requires the same manual response — or it disappears into the thread and the person moves on.

There's no native automation in Telegram for this. You can't set up a comment trigger that opens a bot DM. You can't run a qualification sequence from a group comment. Bot API lets you build things, but building it yourself from scratch is a multi-week engineering project.

So instead, you either hire a VA to monitor the group and respond to buying signals, or you miss them. Both options are bad.

What Mastak adds to your Telegram stack

Discussion group comment triggers a private bot DM

When someone writes a buying signal in your discussion group ("where do I buy?", "how much?", "how do I join?"), Mastak's bot sends them a private DM automatically. The transition from public group to private conversation happens in seconds.

Qualification before the payment link

The bot doesn't blast the payment link at everyone who asks. It asks about their current situation, what they want to get out of the product, and confirms fit — then sends the link to the right people.

Objection handling in the private conversation

When someone says "I'll think about it" in a private bot DM, the AI follows up with a real question. Not "are you sure?" — something specific to what they said earlier in the conversation.

Works alongside your existing bot setup

If you already have a Telegram bot for other things, Mastak adds the sales pipeline layer without replacing what you have. The discussion group trigger is the part that's hardest to build natively — that's the specific gap Mastak fills.

From group comment to payment link

[In discussion group] Where can I buy the course you mentioned?
Hey! I saw your question in the group. The course is "Telegram Growth System" — 6 modules on building a monetized channel from 0. Quick question before I send you the details: are you starting a new channel or growing an existing one?
I have a channel, about 2,000 subscribers, but making basically zero from it.
That's the exact situation the course is designed for — module 4 specifically covers converting an existing audience to paid. What's your main product idea, or is that still TBD?
QUALIFIED
I want to sell a subscription or maybe a course. Not sure yet.
Both are covered. The course is $197. Does that work for you right now?
I'll think about it, not sure if it's the right time.
Totally fair. What's making you hesitate — is it the price, or more about whether you're ready to actually launch something?
OBJECTION HANDLED
Mostly the second thing. I keep putting it off.
That's what module 1 tackles head-on — it's a 4-hour start-to-launch sprint. Most people ship their first paid offer in the first week. Here's the payment link if you want to look: [payment link]. No pressure, valid for 48 hours.

Mastak bot handles this conversation. Trigger keywords, qualification questions, and payment link are configured in your playbook.

What Telegram channel owners gain

Zero manual follow-up on buying signals

Every "where do I buy?" in the group gets a response. No VA needed, no missed opportunities because you weren't watching the group at the right moment.

Private qualification before payment link

The payment link doesn't go to everyone who asks. It goes to people who confirmed they're a fit for the product in the bot conversation.

Fills the gap Telegram's native tools can't

There's no native comment-to-DM automation in Telegram. This is the specific functionality that requires a custom build otherwise.

Scales from 1,000 to 100,000 subscribers

The pipeline doesn't slow down as your channel grows. A post that gets 500 comments in your group gets the same instant response as one that gets 5.

FAQ

Do I need a separate Telegram account for the bot?
No. The bot runs under a bot account you create via Telegram's BotFather — it's a separate account from yours, but it doesn't require a separate phone number. BotFather gives you a token, you paste it into Mastak, and the bot is active.
What if people write buying signals in a different language?
You configure your trigger keywords. If your audience writes in Russian, you add the Russian trigger words. The bot's conversation language follows your playbook language — you're in full control.
Does this work with paid Telegram channels (subscription groups)?
Yes. You can set up the bot to handle both free discussion group members and promote paid channel access to interested people. The qualification can include "are you currently in the paid group?" as a routing step.
What happens if someone tries to trigger the bot repeatedly to abuse the flow?
Mastak has rate limiting per user. Someone who triggers the bot multiple times in a short window gets a single response and the repeat triggers are ignored until the window resets.
Can the bot also handle Telegram channel post comments directly, not just the discussion group?
Telegram doesn't expose post comments as triggerable events the same way Instagram does — the discussion group is the main touchpoint. That's why the discussion group trigger is the core of the Telegram playbook.
