Telegram access is checked in layers. Each must pass before you can send or use live features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Product enabled<\/strong> \u2014 without it, the Telegram menus don’t appear at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Subscription active<\/strong> \u2014 if not, you get the blocked screen, and API sends return a subscription error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. UI or API permission<\/strong> \u2014 UI sending disabled blocks the Send Telegram page; API disabled blocks programmatic sends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bot connected<\/strong> \u2014 sends fail until the bot token is saved and the webhook registered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The two subscription states<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    What you see<\/th>Meaning<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    Subscription not enabled, badge reads Not enabled<\/strong><\/td>Telegram subscription has not been turned on for your account<\/td><\/tr>
    Plan expired, badge shows the expiry date<\/td>The subscription period has ended<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    What is blocked, and what isn’t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Blocked:<\/strong> sending from Send Telegram, reading and managing the Inbox, templates and most live Telegram screens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Kept:<\/strong> your bot connection, templates and saved settings. Nothing is deleted, and everything resumes on renewal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Still readable:<\/strong> the Telegram documentation in the panel, so you can prepare while access is paused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How to restore access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Contact support or your account manager to renew.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Both the subscription flag and a current expiry date are needed, so ask for both to be confirmed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Reload the Telegram pages once renewal is done, then send a test message to yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
