Short Answer
To connect Telegram in BrandJet for outreach, go to brandjet.ai/accounts, click Add Account, choose Telegram, and press Connect Account. BrandJet may ask for your Telegram two-factor authentication password. Enter it if you have one. If you do not use a Telegram 2FA password, press Skip. Then scan the QR code from Telegram on your mobile device.
This works like a linked session. Telegram confirms that you own the account by having you scan the QR code from the Telegram app. The password step only applies if your Telegram account has an extra two-step verification password configured.
I would have the Telegram mobile app open before starting, because QR codes are usually time-sensitive and it is easier when the phone is ready.
Before You Start
Make sure you have access to the Telegram mobile app for the account you want to connect. If the account has two-step verification, also have the password ready. This is not the short SMS code. It is the password you set for Telegram two-step verification.
| What You Need | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Telegram Mobile App | You scan the QR code from the phone. |
| Telegram 2FA Password If Enabled | BrandJet asks for it when the account uses two-step verification. |
| Correct Telegram Account | The app account that scans the QR is the account BrandJet connects. |
| Available Telegram Seat | BrandJet needs an available Telegram account slot. |
Open The Telegram Connector In BrandJet
Go to brandjet.ai/accounts, click Add Account, and choose Telegram under Social Channels. Then click Connect Account.
Enter The Telegram Two-Factor Password If Needed
If BrandJet asks for a Telegram two-factor authentication password and you have one set on your Telegram account, enter it. This is an account-level security password. If you do not have one, click Skip.
Do not confuse this with a one-time login code. If Telegram has never asked you to create a two-step verification password, you probably do not have one, and Skip is the right option.
Scan The Telegram QR Code
BrandJet will show a QR code. Open Telegram on your phone and scan the QR code from the app. The exact menu can vary slightly by device, but the flow is usually under Devices or Linked Devices inside Telegram settings.
Once Telegram approves the QR scan, BrandJet should finish connecting the account. Keep the browser window open until the flow completes.
What To Check If Telegram Does Not Connect
If the QR code does not work, refresh the connection attempt and scan the newest code. QR codes can expire. Also check that you are scanning from the right Telegram account, not a second account on the same phone.
-
Use the Telegram mobile app, not a generic camera scanner.
-
Enter the 2FA password only if your Telegram account has one.
-
Scan the QR code before it expires.
-
Keep BrandJet open until the connected state appears.
-
If the wrong account scans the QR, remove the session and reconnect with the right account.
How To Know Telegram Is Ready
Return to BrandJet Accounts and confirm Telegram shows as connected. I would also check the session from Telegram on your phone if you want an extra confirmation. Once it appears as connected in BrandJet, it is ready to use in the outreach workflows that support Telegram.
Telegram 2FA Password Versus Login Code
Telegram can confuse people because it has more than one security concept. A login code is a short temporary code Telegram sends during login. A two-step verification password is a separate password you set inside Telegram to protect the account. BrandJet may ask for that two-step verification password if the account uses it.
If you do not have a Telegram two-step verification password, pressing Skip is normal. Do not invent a password and do not enter your phone unlock code. If you do have a Telegram 2FA password, enter the one you configured in Telegram settings.
The QR scan is what actually ties the account to BrandJet as a session. Keep the phone ready and scan from the Telegram app, not from a random camera app. A normal camera may open a link, but the Telegram app handles account authorization properly.
Useful Checks After Telegram Connects
After connection, look for the Telegram account in BrandJet Accounts. Then open Telegram Devices on your phone if you want to verify the linked session. If you see an unexpected session, remove it and reconnect. I would rather reconnect cleanly than keep a session that I am not sure about.
How The Telegram Linked Session Works
Telegram connects through a linked session, not by asking you to type your Telegram login code into BrandJet. The QR scan is the approval step. Your phone confirms that the account should allow the new session, then BrandJet finishes the connection.
That is why you should scan the code from inside Telegram, not with a random camera app. The Telegram app understands the login QR and can approve the session properly. A normal camera app might open something, but it is not the clean authorization path.
If your Telegram account uses a two-step verification password, BrandJet may ask for that password before or during the flow. If you do not use that feature, skipping the password prompt is normal.
What To Check On Telegram Mobile
Before starting, open Telegram on the phone and confirm you are in the account you want to connect. This is especially important if you use multiple Telegram accounts on the same device.
After the QR scan succeeds, open the Devices area in Telegram if you want to verify the new session. If you see a session you do not recognize, remove it and reconnect intentionally. I would rather do one clean reconnect than keep a session that is unclear.
If the QR code expires, restart the BrandJet connection and scan the new code. Do not keep trying the old one. QR-based login flows are time-sensitive by design.
