Telegram is a primary distribution point for plugins and objects that enhance standard Archicad capabilities:
Copy the provided (e.g., 123456789:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRsTUVwxyZ ). Step 2: Get Your Chat ID Create a new Telegram group and add your bot to it. Send a dummy message to the group (e.g., "Hello Bot").

Telegram offers several distinct advantages for AEC workflows: ARCHICAD - Telegram
Using the requests library in Python, you can send commands from ARCHICAD to a Telegram Bot. Here is a practical use case:
bot = Bot(token="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN") chat_id = "YOUR_CHAT_ID" # Get this from @userinfobot
ARCHICAD is a comprehensive BIM software solution that enables architects, engineers, and contractors to design, visualize, and simulate building projects. Its intuitive interface and powerful features facilitate collaboration, reduce errors, and increase productivity. Telegram is a primary distribution point for plugins
Look for channels (broadcast-only) vs. groups (two-way discussion). Most active help happens in with 500–10,000 members.
import requests from archicad import ACConnection # Connect to the running Archicad instance conn = ACConnection.connect() assert conn # Fetch basic project info project_info = conn.commands.GetProjectInfo() project_name = project_info.projectName # Telegram Configuration BOT_TOKEN = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN" CHAT_ID = "YOUR_CHAT_ID" message = f"🚀 Archicad Update: Project 'project_name' has been synchronized by the design team." # Send the notification url = f"https://telegram.orgBOT_TOKEN/sendMessage" payload = "chat_id": CHAT_ID, "text": message response = requests.post(url, json=payload) if response.status_code == 200: print("Notification sent to Telegram successfully!") Use code with caution. Advanced BIM Workflows Using Telegram
The combination of is not a replacement for official support; it is an amplifier. For the modern architect, Telegram provides the speed and file capacity that traditional BIM collaboration tools lack. Whether you are a student looking for free library parts, a firm owner seeking rapid troubleshooting, or a developer automating notifications, the Telegram ecosystem offers a dynamic, real-time extension to your ARCHICAD workflow.

The most advanced use of "ARCHICAD - Telegram" involves the ARCHICAD JSON-RPC API. Developers and BIM managers are increasingly creating custom Telegram bots to interact with their BIM data.
