Lovable: Telegram Bot Can Now Use Your Connected Tools
Lovable in Telegram can now read from and act on a builder's connected tools, such as Slack, Notion, or HubSpot, under the same rules that already govern Chats. Lovable reads from a connected tool without asking first, but always requests explicit approval, shown as a Permission needed card, before it creates, sends, or changes anything through a connected tool. The update turns the existing Telegram bot into a fuller remote control for a builder's connected workspace, not just their Lovable projects.
Key Takeaways
- Lovable's Telegram bot can now read and act on a builder's connected tools, not just manage Lovable projects.
- Supported tools include Slack, Notion, and HubSpot, the same connectors already available elsewhere in Lovable.
- Lovable reads without asking, but always requests approval before writing.
- Write actions trigger a "Permission needed" card inside the Telegram conversation itself.
- The permission rules are shared with Lovable's Chats feature, keeping behavior consistent across chat surfaces.
- The update lets builders manage connected-tool workflows from their phone, without opening a browser.
Connected Tools, Now Reachable From Telegram
Lovable's Telegram bot already let builders chat with Lovable and manage projects from their phone. Lovable extended that bot so it can also work with a builder's connected tools, the same integrations, such as Slack, Notion, or HubSpot, that Lovable already supports inside the web app.
Read Freely, Ask Before Acting
The permission model mirrors how Lovable's other chat surfaces handle connected tools. Lovable can read from a connected tool, such as checking a Notion page or a Slack channel, without asking for approval each time. Before it creates, sends, or changes anything through a connected tool, though, it shows a Permission needed card in the Telegram conversation and waits for the builder to approve the action.
Why It Matters
The change means a builder no longer has to switch to a desktop browser to have Lovable act on their connected tools. They can review a Slack update, kick off a HubSpot workflow, or check a Notion doc directly from a Telegram chat, with the same safety rails around write actions that already apply everywhere else Lovable can touch connected tools.
