Vercel events, straight into Telegram
Every deployment succeeding, failing, or being promoted — posted to Telegram the moment it happens. No Telegram app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: Vercel doesn't ship an official Telegram app. If you want deployment succeeding, failing, or being promoted 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
Vercel — Deployment.Succeeded
my-app
my-app-git-main-myteam.vercel.app
A real Vercel event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Telegram.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Vercel → Telegram connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Vercel at it. Go to your team's Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the deployment events you want.
- Copy the signing secret. Vercel shows a secret when you create the webhook (shown only once) — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Vercel.
- 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.
Under the hood: Vercel's webhook secret is only ever displayed once, at creation — copy it into ZestyGlue immediately, since there's no way to view it again afterward (only rotate to a new one).

Questions
Is my Vercel Webhook Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Can I scope this to just one project instead of my whole team?
Yes — when creating the webhook, choose specific projects instead of "All Team Projects" to limit which deployments trigger it.
Will this fire for preview deployments too, not just production?
Yes, deployment events fire for preview and production deployments alike unless you scope the webhook or filter by branch on Vercel's side.
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 Vercel's side — Vercel 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.
