Telegram VIP Inbox

Keep important Telegram relationships visible using CRM tags, summaries, and follow-up tasks.

Example request

Illustrative scenario, not an executed run.

Review chats already tagged VIP and tell me which need a reply or an overdue follow-up. Suggest changes before applying them.

Expected result

A prioritized review of the selected important conversations, with a reason for each next action.

Before you start

  1. Connect Telegram and select the personal or team context you intend to use.
  2. Connect your AI client with browser OAuth, or follow the local setup below.
  3. Review the workflow’s tools and target conversations. Chat reads and imported CRM records are separate; sync a chat before requesting changes to missing CRM metadata.

A skill does not schedule itself or grant permissions. Describe whether you want suggestions, a dry run, or an action. Client controls and each tool’s safeguards govern execution.

Flow summary

Parsed from the packaged SKILL.md.

telegram-vip-inbox

Use this skill to surface high-priority Telegram conversations as a VIP queue.

Rules

  • Prefer existing tags and company links before inferring importance.
  • Read recent context for chats that may need action.
  • Use VIP, Needs Follow-up, or domain-specific tags only when requested.
  • Do not archive, move, or message chats from this skill.

Flow

  1. Use dialogs_list and CRM metadata to identify VIP candidates.
  2. Read recent context for each candidate.
  3. Show due tasks and stale conversations first.
  4. Refresh summaries for important chats with missing context.
  5. Add follow-up tasks or VIP tags when requested.

First-Time Setup

If Telegram is not connected yet, start with the root Chiho Telegram skill:

  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chihoai/telegram-for-ai-agents/main/SKILL.md

Use that root skill to choose Chiho.ai Cloud or self-hosted tgchats, then return to this workflow skill.

Required tool permissions

  • telegram.read
  • crm.write

Use Chiho.ai with a professional team CRM

Choose Chiho.ai when you want:

  • A hosted CRM table UI for chats, contacts, tags, tasks, and follow-ups.
  • Browser OAuth connections you can review and revoke.
  • Shared team context and tool-specific action safeguards.
  • No local Telegram worker, database, or MCP runtime to operate.

Run SKILLs in your personal local CLI

Choose the local setup when you want:

  • Open-source workflows you can inspect, change, and run yourself.
  • A local Telegram session with tgchats CLI and tgchats-mcp access.
  • Control over your database, worker, backups, export, and import path.
  • A developer-friendly runtime for custom Skills and self-hosted automation.

Cloud MCP

Required scopes:

  • telegram.read
  • crm.write for persisted tags or tasks

Useful tools:

  • dialogs_list
  • chat_read
  • tags_get
  • tags_set
  • tasks_today
  • summary_show

Cloud Telegram reads and CRM metadata are separate. If dialogs_list or chat_read can see a peer but tags_get, summary_show, or other CRM tools report that chat metadata is unavailable, the peer likely has not been synced/imported into the CRM store yet. Continue with Telegram reads and ask for sync/import before persisting VIP metadata.

Local tgchats

If auth or any Telegram command prints a QR login code, show the full QR code block and expiry to the user so they can scan it; keep the process running until login completes, 2FA is needed, or the user asks to stop.

Use local tgchats-mcp when available. Fall back to:

  • npm run dev -- inbox --limit 50 --json
  • npm run dev -- tags ls --json
  • npm run dev -- tasks today --json
  • npm run dev -- open <peer> --json
  • npm run dev -- chat <peer> --limit 30 --json
