Owners and admins When you connect her own Telegram account, her fans keep writing to the account they already know. You sign in to it from OnlyX with her phone number and a code that Telegram sends to her.

Before you start

  • You need an owner or admin account.
  • Plan the sign-in with the creator. Telegram sends the code to her, not to you. She must be able to pass it on within a few minutes.
  • She keeps Telegram open on a phone or computer where her account is signed in. The code usually arrives there.
  • If she turned on two-step verification in Telegram, you also need her Telegram password. She can also type it in herself on your screen.

Wait for Telegram to confirm

The window shows “Confirming your connection”. When Telegram confirms, the title changes to Telegram connected.Click Edit profile to change how fans see her, or click Done. Her profile card shows Connected, her @username and On her own account.
OnlyX passes the code and the password to Telegram. It does not keep them.

After you connect

OnlyX reads the chats that her Telegram account already has. It adds them as history, not as new messages, so they do not show as unread. Hugo answers only the fans who are still waiting for a reply. New fans arrive in the Master Inbox as they message her. OnlyX’s sign-in shows in her Telegram app as a signed-in device. If you delete the creator in OnlyX, her account is not deleted on Telegram, and that sign-in can stay. She can end it in her Telegram settings.

Reconnect her account

Telegram can sign her account out. Then her profile card shows Signed out or Disconnected, and Reconnect. A line under it can say why. Nothing syncs and Hugo cannot reply until you sign it in again. Her fans and conversations stay in OnlyX. If the account stays down for 45 minutes, owners and admins get the Creator signed out alert, unless they turned it off.

If something goes wrong

OnlyX cannot sign in her own number right now. Connect a managed account instead. See Connect a managed Telegram account. To ask for phone sign-in, email support@onlyx.ai.The same cause can show “Phone sign-in is unavailable right now. Use a managed account or contact support.”
The number is not complete. Start with the plus sign and the country code. The number needs 7 to 15 digits in all.If the message reads “That does not look like a phone number. Use the full international form.”, check the country code.
Look at the line under Enter your verification code: it says where Telegram sent the code. Ask her to check her Telegram app on another device, her text messages, or her calls.To try again, click Use a different number or send a new code. Then check the number and click Send code. You can start 5 sign-ins an hour for one creator.
Too many codes were asked for. Wait until the countdown ends, then try again. The wait can be long.The message can be “Too many sign-in attempts. Wait before requesting another code.” It can also be “Telegram is limiting sign-in attempts. Wait before requesting another code.” The second one is Telegram’s own limit.
A sign-in stays open for 15 minutes. Start again from her phone number, and have the creator ready for the new code.“This sign-in expired. Send a new code to try again.” and “There is no sign-in waiting for that. Start again from her phone number.” have the same fix.
Telegram accepted the sign-in, but her account did not come online within a minute. Do not start again. Email support@onlyx.ai and include her name.
Someone signed in a different Telegram account. Reconnect with the account that shows on her profile card.
Telegram banned or froze her account. OnlyX cannot sign it in until Telegram lifts that. Her profile card says which one. Only Telegram support can lift a freeze.
OnlyX does not have the number of this account, so it cannot send a code. Email support@onlyx.ai and include her name.
OnlyX could not read the sign-in that was already in progress. Close the window, then open it again.
