Disconnecting Telegram

Disconnecting the Telegram integration breaks the link between a LightLead workspace and Telegram. There are two scenarios: workspace-level disconnection (affects everyone) and unlinking a personal account (affects only you).

Who can disconnect

  • Workspace owner — full disconnection of the Telegram integration for the whole workspace
  • Any member — unlinking their own personal Telegram from the workspace

Where to find it

Full disconnection (owner)

  1. Google Sheets: Settings → Integrations → Telegram
  2. Click Disconnect Telegram
  3. Confirm in the dialog

Unlinking a personal account (member)

  1. Mini app: Profile → Unlink account
  2. Or Google Sheets: Settings → My profile → Telegram → Unlink

What data is affected

When disconnecting at the workspace level:

  • All Telegram channel alerts are disabled (but not deleted)
  • All notifications stop being sent
  • The mini app becomes unavailable to all members
  • Member links to Telegram are preserved but inactive

When unlinking a personal account:

  • Your personal alerts are disabled
  • You stop receiving notifications
  • The mini app is unavailable for your account
  • Other members are not affected

Actions

Full disconnection

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Telegram
  2. Click Disconnect Telegram
  3. In the dialog, choose what to do with alerts:
    • Keep and disable — alerts are preserved but not checked, and can be restored on reconnection
    • Delete all alerts — irreversibly deletes all Telegram alerts in the workspace
  4. Click Disconnect

Unlinking a personal account

  1. Open the mini app or Google Sheets
  2. Profile → Unlink account
  3. Confirm in the dialog
  4. The bot sends a message: "Your account has been unlinked from LightLead. To connect again, use /start"

What requires confirmation

  • Full disconnection — two-step confirmation:
    1. Dialog "Disconnect the Telegram integration for [workspace]? This will affect [N] members"
    2. Choice of what to do with alerts (keep or delete)
  • Unlinking a personal account — dialog "Unlink your Telegram from LightLead? You will lose access to the mini app and notifications"

Result

After disconnecting:

  • The integration status changes to "Disconnected" in settings
  • All members receive a notification about the disconnection (in the case of full disconnection)
  • The event is logged in the workspace audit trail
  • The Open app button in the bot becomes inactive

Reconnecting

  1. Click Connect Telegram in settings
  2. Go through the connection process again
  3. If alerts were kept — they activate automatically
  4. Member links are restored (no need for each member to re-link individually)

Important notes

  • Disconnecting does not delete the chat with the bot — message history is preserved in Telegram
  • Report data is not affected — it remains in Google Sheets
  • When the workspace owner changes, the Telegram integration keeps working without reconnection
  • If the workspace is deleted — the Telegram integration is disconnected automatically
