Get your Telegram channel link

A private Telegram channel has an invite link that you can revoke; a public one has a permanent t.me/ address. For a storefront doable you want the public one — it’s stable, it looks like a brand, and it survives you tidying up your invites later.

Give the channel a public username

1. Open Telegram and go to your channel.
2. Tap the channel name at the top to open Channel info.
3. Tap Edit (pencil icon).
4. Tap Channel type and choose Public.
5. Pick a link — Telegram checks availability as you type. Use your brand name if you can get it.
6. Save.

Your link is now https://t.me/yourchannelname.

If you’d rather stay private

Private channels work too. In Channel info → Edit → Invite links, create a link with no expiry and no user limit, then copy it. It will look like https://t.me/+AbCdEf123456.

The trade-off: anyone can forward a private invite link, and revoking it breaks the doable for everyone. A public username can’t be forwarded anywhere it doesn’t already work.

Paste it into Symbiotic

1. Symbiotic → Doables → Join our Telegram → Add.
2. Paste the link into Link to open.
3. Set the reward (3% is our default) and Save, then Turn on.

Troubleshooting

“Link is already taken.” Someone has the username. Telegram does release names from long-dormant accounts, but not on request — pick a variant instead.

Shoppers on desktop see a “Open in Telegram” page. That’s normal and it’s fine. The link opens the app if it’s installed and the web version if it isn’t.
