The gap this fills: Jotform doesn't ship an official Telegram app. If you want form submission to show up in Telegram the moment it happens, the usual options are a paid third-party bot, custom code, or routing everything through a $20–50/month automation platform just to move one webhook from one URL to another. ZestyGlue does exactly that one thing for $9/month.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Jotform — New Submission
A real Jotform event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Telegram.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Jotform → Telegram connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Jotform at it. Go to Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, and paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL. That's the only setting — Jotform's webhooks have no secret to configure.
- Point Telegram at ZestyGlue. Message @BotFather to create a bot and copy its token. Add the bot to your group or channel, then find its chat ID (e.g. via @userinfobot) and enter both into ZestyGlue.
Tip: Jotform doesn't sign its webhooks, but it does send your form's raw field data — ZestyGlue automatically strips Jotform's internal field-name prefixes (like q3_) so notifications read naturally.

Questions
Does this work with conditional logic and multi-page forms?
Yes — Jotform sends the final submitted answers regardless of which conditional path a respondent took or how many pages were shown.
Why are some field names shortened, like 'name' instead of 'q3_name'?
Jotform prefixes every field with an internal question number. ZestyGlue strips that prefix automatically so notifications read like normal field names.
Does the bot need to be an admin in my group?
No, a regular member is enough for the bot to post messages. Admin rights are only needed for things like pinning messages, which ZestyGlue doesn't do.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Jotform's side — Jotform never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
