Receive emails
Set up your email feed
You can receive emails on Telegram and in your channels or groups.
Use the /add_email command.
The command creates a dedicated @thefeedreaderbot.com address.
This command creates an email address ending with @thefeedreaderbot.com and adds the Email feed to your account.
Any email sent to this address will then be sent by the bot on Telegram.
You can use this address to subscribe to newsletters, or configure automatic forwarding in your email box.
For Gmail, see Google's forwarding guide: automatically forward Gmail messages.
Be careful: do not automatically forward emails containing sensitive information.
The /add_email command also creates an Email template. Use the /template command to open the template page.
Default Email template created by /add_email.
By default, you receive:
- From:
%AUTHOR%
- Subject:
%ITEM_TITLE%
- Body as a link:
%EMAIL_BODY_LINK%
- Body as text:
%ITEM_CONTENT%
Complex HTML emails only display a link, because HTML is too complex to be displayed directly in Telegram.
If the email contains a text body, you can display it in Telegram with %ITEM_CONTENT%.
%SEND_EML_FILE%Add this anywhere in the template content to receive the whole email as a .eml file.
To receive the files attached to your emails, check send files in the feed settings.
Enable send files to receive email attachments.
