How to Send WP Job Manager Data to Telegram

Telegram is a messaging platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. Here is how to pipe WP Job Manager job straight into Telegram using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers job data straight from WordPress to Telegram. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WP Job Manager installed and configured.
• A Telegram account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Telegram to AFI

1. Create a Telegram Bot via BotFather and copy the bot token.
2. Start a chat with your bot and get the chat ID.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Telegram.
4. Enter the bot token and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Job Manager to Telegram.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WP Job Manager as the form provider. AFI fires when a job listing is submitted, giving you access to company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL.

3. Select Telegram as the destination

Choose Telegram from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a message to a Telegram chat via bot.

4. Map fields

Match each Telegram field on the left to the corresponding WP Job Manager field on the right. Common mappings include company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in WP Job Manager. Check Telegram to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps message text to Telegram with unlimited records. Pro adds chat ID and parse mode. No per-record fees on any plan.
