Send PDF Files to Telegram Groups in VBA - Complete Guide

Automate Telegram Group Document Sharing with VBA

Need to integrate Telegram group PDF sharing into your Excel macros, Access databases, or Office automation workflows? This guide shows you how to deliver PDF files to Telegram groups using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and the WhatsMate Telegram Gateway REST API. Perfect for Office automation specialists, Excel power users, and VBA developers building document delivery solutions for group chats.

📋 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. A WhatsMate Telegram Gateway account - Required for API access
2. Group membership - The gateway must be a member of the target Telegram group
3. Microsoft Office with VBA support - Excel, Access, or other Office applications
4. PDF file ready - Have the document you want to send available locally
5. VBA development environment - Access to Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11 in Office apps)
6. Windows system - VBA scripts require Windows environment

⚠️ Important: The gateway must be a member of the Telegram group you want to send messages to. The group admin phone number is used to uniquely identify the group.

📄 File System Access: The VBA script reads PDF files from your local file system, so ensure your Office application has appropriate file permissions and the PDF file exists at the specified path.
