It does not add any forms of its own; it listens to the form plugins you already use. Each message includes the page the lead came from and all of the submitted fields, formatted for quick reading. **Supported form sources** * iDance Site Builder * Contact Form 7 * WPForms * Fluent Forms * Gravity Forms **Self-contained** — it does not modify your theme or other plugins, and stores nothing about your visitors beyond forwarding the lead you already collect. **Looking for live chat + AI?** A live website chat widget (with replies straight from Telegram) and an AI assistant trained on your business profile are available in the separate **ABDS Connect Pro** add-on, which requires a licence. The Pro add- on is not part of this free plugin and is distributed separately. Learn more at https://abds-seo.com/#connect. ### External services This plugin connects to the **Telegram Bot API** (https://api.telegram.org) to deliver your form leads to the Telegram chat you configure. A request is sent only when a form on your site is submitted (and, if you use the “Test” button, when you press it). Each request contains the lead data from that submission (the form fields and the source page URL) plus the bot token and chat ID you enter in the settings. No data is sent anywhere until you configure a bot token and chat ID. Telegram is a third-party service; its use is governed by the Telegram Terms of Service (https://telegram.org/tos) and Privacy Policy (https://telegram.org/privacy). ## Screenshots [⌊The moment a lead lands: the Telegram message ABDS Connect sends for a form submission— the page it came from, the form, and every field, formatted for quick reading.⌉⌊ The moment a lead lands: the Telegram message ABDS Connect sends for a form submission— the page it came from, the form, and every field, formatted for quick reading.⌉[ The moment a lead lands: the Telegram message ABDS Connect sends for a form submission— the page it came from, the form, and every field, formatted for quick reading.

No functional changes. #### 1.2.1 * Removed a third-party product’s internal codename from the detected-form-source label — now just “iDance Site Builder”. No change to the integration itself. #### 1.2.0 * Redesigned the settings screen: native wp-admin cards in onboarding order (Telegram, detected form sources, licence). * Live bot connection status (checked against Telegram, cached — not on every page load) instead of a guess from whether a token is saved. * The bot token field is now write-only, like a password field: it’s never echoed back, so it can’t be accidentally cleared while editing other settings. * Replaced the old full-page “Test” button with an inline, AJAX “Send test message” that shows the real result without a page reload. * First-time setup now walks through creating a bot and finding your Chat ID instead of showing empty fields. #### 1.1.0 * Split: the free plugin now covers leads Telegram only; live chat + AI moved to the separate ABDS Connect Pro add-on. * Removed the manual “enable Pro” toggle; Pro is unlocked by the Pro add-on and its licence. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: form leads Telegram (CF7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms, iDance Site Builder). ## Meta * Version **1.3.0** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/abds-connect/) * Tags * [contact form](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/contact-form/)[forms](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/forms/) [leads](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/leads/)[Notifications](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/notifications/) [telegram](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/telegram/) * [Advanced View](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/abds-connect/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
