Direct link generator for WhatsApp, Telegram and Viber.
Telegram supports several deep link formats, each with a distinct purpose. Understanding them lets you build direct-access links for support, sharing, referrals, and bot interactions.
Direct message to a user or bot:
https://t.me/usernameOpens a chat with @username. For bots, the user sees the Start button.
Bot deep link with payload:
https://t.me/YourBot?start=ref_12345When the user taps Start, the bot receives /start ref_12345. Use this for referral tracking, campaign attribution, or unlocking specific bot flows.
Share link with prefilled text:
https://t.me/share/url?url=https://example.com&text=Check%20this%20outOpens the Telegram share dialog with a URL and message already filled in. The user picks a contact or group and sends. This is the Telegram equivalent of a Web Share button.
Group invite link:
https://t.me/+AbCdEfGhIjKGenerate these from Group Settings > Invite Links. You can set expiration and member limits.
Channel link:
https://t.me/channelnameOpens the channel preview. Users can join with one tap.
Combine the share format with a support workflow:
https://t.me/share/url?url=https://mysite.com/order/456&text=I%20need%20help%20with%20this%20orderThe customer shares the order URL directly to your support chat with context attached. No copy-pasting needed.
Set up your bot to parse the start parameter:
https://t.me/YourBot?start=campaign_spring2026/start campaign_spring2026This is cleaner than UTM parameters for Telegram-native flows because the attribution stays inside the bot session.
t.me/share/url?url=...&text=... to your blog posts. Pre-fill the article title and URL.?start=ref_USERID link. The bot credits referrals automatically.Generate Telegram deep links with proper encoding in Messenger Link Generator.
