telegram deep links builder with UTM tracking example
Deep link patterns + UTM builder for bots, channels, and DMs.

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.

Quick patterns (copy/paste)

// Channel / group view
https://t.me/<channel_or_group>

// tg:// (forces app on mobile)

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.
