How to Get Telegram Channel Messages on WhatsApp
Get Telegram channel posts on WhatsApp without the noise. Tgscan alerts you only for messages matching your keywords, with Hebrew-aware matching. Early-access beta.
Following news, deals or job channels on Telegram means a constant flood of posts. Here is how to get only the ones you care about on WhatsApp, instead of forwarding everything.
Tgscan is in early-access beta. Access is by waitlist and invitation.
Why forwarding everything gets noisy
The simplest way to move Telegram content to WhatsApp is a bridge or forwarding bot that copies every post from a channel into a chat. It works, but an active channel can post dozens of messages a day, and the one you needed is buried among the rest.
Mute the chat and you miss the message; keep notifications on and WhatsApp turns into a second feed to scroll. What you actually want is a filter: a message reaches you only if it is about something you chose.
How Tgscan forwards only keyword matches
Connect your Telegram account
Link Telegram by scanning a QR code in your Tgscan settings. Tgscan reads only the channels you choose to follow.
Choose your channels
Search for public channels, or pick ones you already follow, and mark them as tracked.
Add your keywords
Add the words and places you care about. Matching can be exact or broader, negative keywords block unwanted posts, and a place keyword combined with an event keyword lets you get alerts only when both appear.
Get WhatsApp alerts
Matching messages are sent to your WhatsApp number as they're received, per your plan and settings. Anything delayed or skipped stays visible in your dashboard.
Forward everything vs keyword alerts
| What you get | Forward everything (bridge bots) | Keyword alerts (Tgscan) |
|---|---|---|
| What reaches WhatsApp | Every post published in the channel | Only messages that match your keywords |
| Noise | Grows with the channel's activity | Stays low, because you decide the keywords |
| Matching | None, posts are copied as they are | Hebrew-aware matching (prefixes, plural forms), exact or broad modes, and negative keywords |
| Other languages | Messages arrive in their original language | Optional translation, plus translated keyword variants so one keyword can match in several languages |
| Control | Mute or unmute the whole chat | Per-keyword rules, channel selection, and a dashboard of every match |
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with channels I don't own?
Yes. Tgscan reads channels through your own Telegram account, so you can track any public channel, or a channel your account has already joined. You don't need to own or administer it.
Does it support Hebrew?
Yes. Matching is Hebrew-aware: a keyword can match with the common one-letter prefixes, and the broader mode also catches plural and singular forms. The interface is available in Hebrew and English.
Can messages be translated?
Optionally. Messages in other languages can be translated, and you can add translated versions of a keyword so it matches across languages. Translation usage is metered by your plan.
Is it free, and what does it cost?
Tgscan is in early-access beta, joined through a waitlist and invitation. Plans, trial terms and prices are listed on the pricing page.
How long do alerts take?
Alerts are sent for matches as they're received, per your plan and settings. A message can be delayed or skipped (for example because of a provider issue, credits or your monthly quota), and the status of each one is shown in your dashboard. A message that would arrive very late may be dropped rather than sent late.
What about privacy?
Tgscan follows only the channels you choose and does not read your private chats. Only messages that match your keywords are stored, for a retention period you set, and then deleted. Details are in the privacy policy.
