thesaasfactory

teleCast connects your Telegram group to your WordPress website, turning it into a live chat system (aka “widget”) your visitors can use directly from any page where you place our shortcode.
IMPORTANT
This plugin requires an account at thesaasfactory.net to function. There is a one-time registration fee of USD15.00 to onboard. If you wish to use the translation option then you will also need to top up translation credit once an initial 50000 characters have been used for evaluation/testing. Pre-purchase of 1M (one million) characters costs USD25.00.
The plugin loads the teleCast widget JavaScript from thesaasfactory.net servers, and all chat messages are relayed through the teleCast service to enable real-time communication between your website and Telegram. Our translation services are powered by DeepL Pro. Available languages therefore match those available from DeepL.
Live demo normally available at https://demo.thesaasfactory.net – please contact demo@thesaasfactory.net if you would like to share your Telegram handle and join the demo group.
<h3>How it works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Visitors send messages through the widget on your WordPress site </li>
<li>Messages are transmitted to thesaasfactory.net servers via WebSocket connection </li>
<li>thesaasfactory.net relays messages to your Telegram group </li>
<li>Replies from your Telegram group follow the same path back to your website visitors </li>
<li>Messages are translated in both directions when visitors use a different language than your group</li>
</ol>
Messages flow in both directions — visitors on your site chat with your Telegram group in real time. No page reloads, no polling delays. teleCast uses a persistent WebSocket connection for instant delivery and harnesses the power of Telegram bots to place/read messages in the group.
<h3>Key features</h3>
Telegram bridge 
— your Telegram group becomes your chat backend. Manage conversations from any device using the Telegram app you already use and know.
Real-time, bi-directional 
— messages from your Telegram group appear almost instantly in the widget, and visitor messages appear in your group.
Multilingual translation 
— teleCast includes English and your choice of a second language. Messages are automatically translated in both directions so visitors and group members can communicate naturally in their own language. Powered by DeepL Pro.
Shadow DOM isolation 
— the widget is fully isolated from your theme’s CSS. It looks great on any site without style conflicts but may be further customized if desired. Light and dark themes are configured with a simple attribute but more options are available for precise styling.
Simple shortcode 
— add <code>[telecast token="YOUR_TOKEN" channel="your-channel"]</code> to any page or post.
No jQuery, no dependencies 
— a single lightweight vanilla JS file.
<h3>Service requirements</h3>
<ol>
<li>Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather and add it to your group as an admin. </li>
<li>Register for an account at <a href="https://thesaasfactory.net" rel="nofollow ugc">thesaasfactory.net</a> and create a teleCast channel.</li>
<li>Add the <code>[telecast]</code> shortcode to any page with your token and channel slug.</li>
</ol>
Translation credits are managed via your account at thesaasfactory.net. Recognising that some phrases are used repeatedly in chat sessions, we cache translations and try to match our cache first. All such matches are free, credits are only consumed when fresh translation is required.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin requires and relies on the teleCast service hosted at thesaasfactory.net to 
function.
What data is transmitted:
When you use this plugin, the following data is sent to thesaasfactory.net:
Chat messages 
— All messages sent by website visitors through the widget are transmitted to thesaasfactory.net servers, which relay them to your Telegram group. Replies from your Telegram group are transmitted through thesaasfactory.net back to your website visitors.
Visitor display names 
— The display name entered by visitors when they start chatting is transmitted to identify the sender in your Telegram group.
Translation requests 
— When messages need translation (visitor language differs from group language), the message content is sent to thesaasfactory.net for translation via DeepL Pro before being relayed.
WebSocket connections 
— The widget establishes a persistent WebSocket connection to wss://ws.thesaasfactory.net for real-time message delivery. * Widget JavaScript — The plugin loads the teleCast widget JavaScript file from https://thesaasfactory.net/telecast/assets/telecast.js on every page where 
the shortcode is used.
When data is sent: 
– When a visitor opens a page containing the <code>[telecast]</code> shortcode (widget JavaScript loads) 
– When a visitor enters their name and starts chatting (WebSocket connection establishes) 
– Every time a message is sent or received (messages are relayed through the service) 
– When messages require translation (sent to DeepL Pro via thesaasfactory.net)

By using this plugin, you acknowledge that chat messages and visitor display names will be transmitted through thesaasfactory.net servers to enable the Telegram bridge functionality. Messages are encrypted in transit but are processed by the service to enable translation and relay to Telegram.
