Route support escalations in Telegram
Classify inbound tickets by urgency in flight and route only the ones that need a human now — so the on-call channel sees escalations, not every ticket.

the event
You emit support.ticket.created with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("support.ticket.created", {
ticket_id: ticket.id,
subject: ticket.subject,
body: ticket.body,
customer_tier: ticket.account.tier,
channel: ticket.channel,
}, {
idempotencyKey: ticket.id,
});route it to Telegram
Message a person, group, or channel through a connected bot.
- 01
connect a bot
Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.
- 02
start a chat
Send /start to the bot from the target chat — or add it to the group/channel — then pick the chat from the list.
- 03
format the text
Messages use MarkdownV2; the default template bolds the event name and lists fields. Reserved characters in field values are escaped for you.

notes
- Telegram caps a bot at roughly 30 messages per second overall, and one per second to a single chat.
- The bot must be added to a group — and promoted to admin for a channel — before it can post.
- MarkdownV2 requires escaping characters like _ * [ ] ( ); ingestlayer escapes field values, but custom templates are your responsibility.
questions
- What model does the classify step use?
- Yours. You bring the model, prompt, and label schema; ingestlayer runs it in flight and returns a typed label the pipeline branches on.
- Does every ticket hit the model?
- Only if you want it to. classify is per-event and cached by payload hash, so identical tickets reuse one call.
- Can the same ticket go to two places?
- Yes — fan out to several destinations with different when conditions, e.g. critical to chat and everything to Postgres.
