Yes. A new update in Telegram, such as a message containing an email address, can run the Create User or Create Invitation action in Clerk, so the person gets a sign-up link. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live, including messages that carry no usable email. ### ### What can Clerk send into Telegram? Clerk's New User trigger is the starting point, and from there the bot can send a message, photo, document, video, location or poll to any chat it belongs to. You decide which chat and what the text contains, using fields from the new Clerk user. ### ### What can start an automation from Telegram? Any of Telegram's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Update. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Clerk when something happens in Telegram? Any of Clerk's 6 actions, including Ban User, Create Invitation, Create User and Update User. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Clerk to Telegram? Yes. When something happens in Clerk, your agent can act in Telegram too. This page covers both directions: Clerk's triggers and Telegram's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Telegram or Clerk? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Telegram and Clerk without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
