Lightweight Support Desk with Telegram and Postgres Database Tracking

What It Does

This lightweight support desk solution empowers small teams to transform their Telegram conversations into a fully organized and trackable customer service pipeline. By integrating directly with Telegram, it automatically captures incoming messages, converting them into actionable support tickets stored in a robust Postgres database. Agents can then manage these tickets directly, updating statuses (e.g., open, pending, closed), assigning them to specific team members, and logging detailed resolutions. This ensures no customer inquiry ever falls through the cracks, centralizes communication, and builds a valuable historical record of all support interactions, enhancing overall responsiveness and accountability.
