Step 1 - Start the bot
Open the Runekist bot in Telegram and press Start. This allows the bot to send private Runekist results.
Telegram integration
Add Runekist to Telegram
Runekist's Telegram bot gives members private chest progress lookups and gives leaders and officers private clan lookup tools.
Privacy model
Private by default
Member names, chest data, and link URLs are sent by private Telegram message when possible.
Safe group fallback
If the bot cannot message a user privately, the group only receives a generic prompt to start the bot.
One account link
Telegram is linked once to your Runekist account, not once per clan.
Explicit public posts
Public Runekist cards remain officer-gated and must be posted intentionally.
Step 2 - Connect your account
In Runekist account settings, choose Connect Telegram and open or scan the Telegram link.
Step 3 - Map a group
A Runekist clan setup admin adds the bot to a Telegram group, runs /rk_ping, and maps the chat ID or topic ID to the clan.
FAQ
Common questions
Can members use Runekist chat commands privately?
Yes. Members can link their Discord or Telegram account to Runekist and receive private progress replies when the platform allows it.
Do Discord roles or Telegram groups replace Runekist permissions?
No. Chat mappings choose the clan context. Runekist membership and permissions still decide what a user can see or do.
Can one Runekist account belong to several clans?
Yes. If a member belongs to multiple Runekist clans, Runekist asks them to choose the clan context where needed.
