Introduction

Telegram shopping bots have become a popular tool for automating purchases, order tracking, and customer support. Meanwhile, tools like Acbuy Spreadsheet (or similar purchasing management sheets) help businesses organize orders, inventory, and financial data. Integrating these two systems can significantly streamline operations.

This article explores step-by-step methods to connect a Telegram shopping bot with Acbuy Spreadsheet for seamless data synchronization.

Prerequisites

• A working Telegram shopping bot (built using Python, Node.js, etc.)
• Access to Acbuy Spreadsheet or a similar cloud-based spreadsheet tool
• Google Sheets API (if using Google Sheets as the backend)
• Basic knowledge of APIs and webhooks

Integration Methods

1. Using Google Sheets API (For Google Spreadsheets)

If Acbuy Spreadsheet is powered by Google Sheets, leverage the Google Sheets API to read/write data:

# Python Example using gspread
import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

# Authenticate with Google Sheets API
scope = ["https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds"]
creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name("credentials.json", scope)
client = gspread.authorize(creds)

# Open your Acbuy Spreadsheet and update data
sheet = client.open("Acbuy_Orders").sheet1
sheet.append_row([order_id, product_name, customer_id])

Configure your Telegram bot to push order details to the spreadsheet whenever a purchase is made.

2. Webhook-Based Integration (For Custom Systems)

If Acbuy uses a proprietary system, set up a webhook to send data from Telegram to the spreadsheet:

1. Create an API endpoint in Acbuy to receive order data (e.g., /api/orders).
2. Configure your Telegram bot to send HTTP POST requests to this endpoint with order details in JSON format.

// Node.js Example (Telegram Bot =    Acbuy)
axios.post('https://acbuy.example/api/orders', {
    orderId: '12345',
    product: 'Smartphone',
    customer: '@john_telegram'
});

3. Zapier/Automation Tools (No-Code Option)

For users without coding expertise, platforms like Zapier can bridge the gap:

• Set up a Zapier "Zap" to trigger on new Telegram bot messages.
• Filter messages containing orders.
• Auto-add rows to Acbuy Spreadsheet using Zapier’s Google Sheets or Excel integrations.

Key Benefits

• Real-time Sync:
• Reduced Errors:
• Automated Reporting:
