Deep Links & QR: One-Tap Telegram Funnels

Definition (55 words): Telegram deep links use t.me
and tg://
schemes to land users on the exact surface—bot, channel, group, or DM—without friction. Add UTMs for attribution and use QR to bridge offline to chat. Ready to monetize? Kick off a targeted outreach with our $35/1K Mass DM starter to convert warm scans into buyers.

Placement ideas (QR + deep link)
- Offline: storefront windows, table toppers, product inserts, event badges.
- Online: hero CTA, email signature, social bios, post-purchase page.
- Flow: Bot “start” → 90s explainer → DM with a single, low-friction CTA → Mass DM mini-burst to close.
FAQ
Can you set this up for us?
Yes—end-to-end. We build links, UTMs, and QR, then run a $35/1K Mass DM starter to convert responders. Get a quote.
Is the $35/1K starter enough to see results?
It’s perfect to validate the funnel and message. Many clients scale after the first 1K sends. See pricing for larger blocks.
t.me or tg:// for conversions?
t.me is universal (web → app). tg://
forces app open on mobile. A/B test both; keep whichever drives more replies and paid actions.
How do we track revenue from chats?
Use UTMs + a reply keyword in the first DM. Map reply → deal in your CRM. Our Automation Software can auto-tag responders.
