Notifications

Set up push notifications via Telegram and Google Spreadsheets

Overview

Happ can send notifications about important events to your team through Telegram groups or Google Spreadsheets. This is especially useful for alerting managers when a conversation needs human attention.

For the full API reference, see api.happ.tools/reference.

Telegram Push Notifications

Send instant notifications to a Telegram group or channel when events occur. This is the recommended way to alert your team when the AI hands off a conversation (see AI Control & Human Handoff).

Setup

  1. Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather (or use an existing one)
  2. Add the bot to your target Telegram group/channel as an admin
  3. In Happ, go to Integrations > Add Integration > Telegram Push Notifications
  4. Enter:
    • Bot Token — From BotFather
    • Group/Channel ID — The Telegram group or channel ID
  5. Complete the authorization process
  6. Activate the integration

Use Cases

  • Human handoff alerts — Get notified when AI mode is turned off for a conversation (either manually or via the turnOffAiMode built-in tool). This tells your team a customer needs human attention.
  • New lead alerts — Get notified when a new customer starts a conversation
  • Escalation alerts — Notify the team when AI cannot handle a specific query
  • Daily summaries — Receive conversation summaries in your group

How It Works with Human Handoff

  1. A customer asks to speak with a human, or the conversation requires escalation
  2. The AI assistant calls the turnOffAiMode built-in tool (see Tools > Built-in Tools)
  3. AI mode is disabled for that conversation
  4. If Telegram Push Notifications are configured, your team is instantly alerted in the Telegram group
  5. A manager can open the conversation in the dashboard or mobile app and respond manually

Google Spreadsheets

Log events to a Google Spreadsheet for tracking and analysis.

Setup

  1. Go to Integrations > Add Integration > Google Spreadsheets
  2. Authorize access to your Google account
  3. Select or create the target spreadsheet
  4. Configure which events to log

Use Cases

  • Conversation log — Record all conversations in a spreadsheet
  • Lead tracking — Log new leads with contact details
  • Call records — Track voice call metadata and outcomes
  • Reporting — Build custom reports and dashboards in Google Sheets

Tips

  • Combine with AI Control — Set up Telegram Push Notifications alongside the turnOffAiMode tool so your team is always alerted when human intervention is needed
  • Dedicated group — Create a separate Telegram group specifically for Happ notifications to avoid noise in your main work chats
  • Google Sheets for analytics — Use Google Sheets logging alongside the built-in analytics for custom reporting needs
