Telegram Client
Turning Telegram into a sales and engineering hub
Table of Contents
Most B2B sales conversations in crypto don't happen on the CRM. They happen on Telegram, where the founders are. The hard part is turning that messy stream of group chats into something a sales team can manage at scale: deals tracked in Attio, follow-ups assigned to engineers, conversations that don't drop because the right person wasn't reading the right channel that week.
Telegram Client is Holdex's internal answer. It's a Telegram automation built end-to-end by Holdex that turns the messaging app into a unified hub for sales and project ops.
What it does
- Group and CRM sync. A single trigger message spins up a Telegram supergroup for a new deal, generates invitation links for the team, and creates matching Company and Group records in Attio CRM with pre-filled attributes. From there it keeps watching: new members are added as Persons in Attio, and membership changes and message activity stream back into the records in real time.
- GitHub issues from Telegram. React to any message with a designated emoji and the bot creates a GitHub issue that links back to the originating conversation. The message becomes the issue body, and the issue is auto-assigned through a Telegram-to-GitHub user mapping, so engineering picks up the context without anyone copy-pasting.
- Broadcast messaging. Compose a message in Saved Messages, reply with the broadcast trigger and a list of chat IDs, and the client delivers it across every target with built-in rate limiting and a delivery summary on completion. It's for the moments when sales needs to push the same update across thirty groups without spamming.
The automation rides on Telegram's cross-platform client surface, running across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and web. The operator account authenticates through a terminal-based session with phone number and 2FA.

How Holdex uses it
The design mirrors how Holdex itself runs deal flow. One Telegram group per deal, every group synced to Attio, every emoji-flagged message turning into an engineering ticket. The tool was built for Holdex's own operations and is now listed publicly so other studios and DeFi-native sales teams that want the same wiring can adopt it.
