You can connect IFTTT to any public Telegram channels, where you are an administrator. If you do this, you will be able to import data to that channel via IFTTT or use posts in the channel as triggers for outside events.

To connect a channel:
- Add this bot to the channel as an administrator.
- Then send me the channel username (e.g. telegram.me/telegram or @telegram) or simply forward any message from the target channel to this chat.
