Create a Tracking Link
On this page

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

  1. Open Tracking Links, confirm the selected Telegram account, and choose Create link.
  2. Choose Direct Profile or Start With Bot and configure the exact destination required by that method.
  3. Enter a descriptive campaign name, source, public code, and pre-filled message.
  4. Add manual campaign spend when you want cost metrics, then choose the attribution window for this campaign.
  5. 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 knowTelestars behavior
Account scopeThe link, its click data, and its final Secretary destination remain tied to the selected Telegram account.
Manual spendCampaign spend is entered by the workspace and is used to calculate cost and profit metrics.
Attribution windowA qualifying downstream event must fall inside the configured link window to remain attributable.
StatusAn 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

Best practice

Create one clearly named link per source or campaign and test its full Telegram journey before comparing traffic quality.
