Overview
A Tracking Link belongs to the selected Telegram account and carries one acquisition setup. Clear names, sources, and codes make later analytics understandable, while pause and edit controls preserve an existing link when a campaign changes.
- Create a link that names one traffic source clearly.
- Configure the matching Telegram destination and fan message.
- Pause or edit a campaign without confusing its historical results.
Before you start
- Select the exact Telegram account that should own the tracking or community action.
- Use public Telegram usernames for profiles and bots that fans must open.
- Test the complete fan journey with a separate Telegram account before distributing a link.
Step by step
- Open Tracking Links, confirm the selected Telegram account, and choose Create link.
- Choose Direct Profile or Start With Bot and configure the exact destination required by that method.
- Enter a descriptive campaign name, source, public code, and pre-filled message.
- Add manual campaign spend when you want cost metrics, then choose the attribution window for this campaign.
- Save, copy the public link, and run one full Telegram test before publishing it.
How it works
These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.
| What to know | Telestars behavior |
|---|---|
| Account scope | The link, its click data, and its final Secretary destination remain tied to the selected Telegram account. |
| Manual spend | Campaign spend is entered by the workspace and is used to calculate cost and profit metrics. |
| Attribution window | A qualifying downstream event must fall inside the configured link window to remain attributable. |
| Status | An active link can receive traffic; a paused link remains visible for management and historical analysis. |
Verify the result
- The copied URL opens the intended Telegram method.
- The displayed source, message, and destination match the campaign.
- A paused campaign is not mistaken for an active distribution link.
Troubleshooting
| If you see this | What to check |
|---|---|
| A tracking link records clicks but no conversation | Complete the selected Direct Profile or Start With Bot journey, including the final fan message to the exact Secretary profile. |
| Revenue is not attributed | Check the attribution window, selected destination profile, fan identity, and whether a qualifying purchase occurred in that conversation. |
| A public growth page shows no data | Confirm the workspace opted in where required and that qualifying activity occurred in the selected period. |
Best practice
Create one clearly named link per source or campaign and test its full Telegram journey before comparing traffic quality.
