Telegram Bot
What Is the Telegram Bot?
The Receiptix Telegram bot lets you track expenses without opening the app. Send a photo of a receipt or a text description to @receiptix_bot on Telegram, and the bot processes it into an expense that syncs with your account.
You can use the Telegram bot as your primary way to add expenses — it works independently from the mobile app. As long as your account is linked, everything you send gets recorded.
Linking Your Account
Connect your Receiptix account to Telegram in six steps:
Open Settings
In the Receiptix app, go to Settings > Telegram.
Get Your Code
Copy the unique 6-character alphanumeric code shown on screen.
Send /login
Type /login and send it to the bot.
Paste Your Code
When the bot asks, paste the 6-character code from the app.
Done
Your account is linked. Start sending receipts and expenses.
What You Can Send
The bot accepts two types of input:
Receipt Photos
Send a photo of a receipt. The bot extracts the merchant, items, and amounts automatically.
Text Descriptions
Type a description of your expense. The bot parses the details and creates the entry for you.
Everything the bot processes syncs automatically with your Receiptix account across all your devices.
Managing the Connection
Once linked, the Telegram settings screen in the Receiptix app shows your connection status along with convenient options:
- Connected status — confirms your Telegram account is linked
- Open bot — a button to jump directly to your conversation with @receiptix_bot
- Unlink — one-click disconnect if you want to stop using the bot or switch accounts
Tips and Details
- You can use the Telegram bot without the mobile app installed. As long as your account is linked, the bot works independently.
- The linking code is 6 characters, alphanumeric. It's single-use and expires after a short period for security.
- Unlinking is instant. Tap the disconnect button in app settings and the bot stops processing your messages immediately.
- Works on any platform where Telegram runs — iOS, Android, desktop, and web.
