Why Creatives on Squarespace Need Telegram

Squarespace users are different from typical website builders. They are photographers, graphic designers, architects, filmmakers, and boutique shop owners. Their websites are portfolios first, lead generators second. And their clients are often international.

A photographer in Berlin gets inquiries from clients in Moscow. An architect in London works with developers in Dubai. A fashion designer in Paris sells to buyers in Sao Paulo. All of these clients prefer Telegram.

Squarespace's contact form collects a name and email. Then you wait for the client to check their inbox. On Telegram, the conversation starts instantly and continues across devices. Clients can send reference images, mood boards, floor plans, and project briefs up to 2GB without the file size limits of email.

The other big advantage: Telegram uses usernames instead of phone numbers. International clients who would hesitate to share their phone number on a contact form will happily message @yourstudio on Telegram. The barrier is lower. You get more inquiries.

Share 2GB Files Through Your Squarespace Site

Creative work involves large files. Reference images, brand guidelines, mockups, contracts, video clips. Email caps out at 25MB. Telegram handles 2GB. When a client contacts you through the Telegram widget on your Squarespace portfolio, they can send everything you need in one conversation. No Dropbox links, no WeTransfer, no "my email bounced because the file was too big."
  • ✓Clients send project briefs, images, and documents up to 2GB via Telegram
  • ✓You send proofs, mockups, and drafts back through the same conversation
  • ✓All files sync across desktop and mobile. Access from anywhere
  • ✓Conversation and files stay together. No searching through email threads
  • ✓AI answers initial questions about your services and availability

How Squarespace Creatives Use Telegram with Boei

Photographers Serving International Clients

A wedding photographer in Amsterdam gets inquiries from Russian and Middle Eastern clients who plan destination weddings. Clients browse the portfolio on Squarespace, click the Telegram widget, and send reference photos of the style they want. The conversation stays on Telegram for months as details evolve.

Designers and Architects with Global Portfolios

An interior designer showcases work on Squarespace. A client in Dubai sends floor plans (50MB+ files) via Telegram. AI answers initial questions about rates and availability. The designer follows up with mood boards and quotes, all in the same Telegram thread.

Squarespace Commerce Sellers

An artist sells limited edition prints on Squarespace Commerce. Buyers from Eastern Europe want to ask about framing, shipping costs, and customs duties. Telegram answers these questions in the buyer's language. The print sells. Without Telegram, that buyer would have bounced.

We initially installed Boei on our agency website to test its capabilities, and the results were so impressive that we've now implemented it across approximately 10 client sites. The AI chatbot not only learns from each website's unique content but also provides valuable data for our SEO strategies.

What do you like best about Boei? I'm giving 10 points. Why? This app is super easy. You can configure your chat widget in 5 minutes, add a JS script to your "header" in your theme and wooollaaa done. Nothing hard. We have been using Boei mainly for small corporate websites. It really solves our need to have a small chat widget which does not add up 150Kb and XXXXX JS scripts. It's really lightweight and it does not affect your website speed.

I have been using Boei for over a year. It is very simple yet effective to implement it. Support is great - Ruben is always responsive and helpful. The product has also added new features which I have not yet needed but good to know Ruben is always working hard to add value to users of Boei. I am sure there are other similar solutions but for the price, support and features (and future updates), this is a great value.

I have a quick chat on each page, so it simplifies the way my clients can get in touch with me. It was very easy to implement and they continue to improve this software and are open to feedback. An easy way to add a communication widget to the website. I like best that it supports Messenger and Whatsaap, phone, email and live chat and it is easy to translate for multilingual pages. I can't think about real drowbacks. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] reply all the support questions quickly and effectively, they are open to feedback. I had no issues at all with this software. Maybe if they could add some protection against spammers if you use the contact form and in some future add a chatbot, that would be fantastic.

I was looking for a chat app to easily communicate with my customers. I didn't want to install anything overly complex and I just wanted something that worked within minutes. After briefly using Boei, I knew it was right for me. It's super lightweight and easy to use, plus it has all the chat bots that you might need! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something simple. I wish there was a better UI or more design options.

We have been using Boei for many clients over the past year and the impact on the page speed is negligible and helps convert website visitors to warm leads. Ease of deployment, lightweight code, and overall flexibility and functionality. The form component isn't exactly flexible and extensive enough for most uses so we often have to use another form solution.

The greatest chat widget for websites I have ever tried. It's quite light and not reduce the site loading speed. Quite easy to install on any type of sites/CMS platform. The features and integrations is continuously developed. The support Ruben and his team provide is the best. Easily number one pick.

I want to leave this review because I want to tell you 2 important things: one is that those who don't speak English well often find themselves having to live with Google Translate as their best friend, and the other is that BOEI is fantastic, simple and intuitive even for those who don't speak English well. I am really enthusiastic about the ease of use from the first time, which I rarely find in a similar app. Personally I recommend it to everyone!

Very happy to give 5 Stars for this plugin. Over 70% of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Google Analytics. Boei allows those users to contact me on their preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. It's a pop up with a GIF that looks great on my site. And it gives the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now, and I am very happy to recommend. I would try the free version first so you are sure. Thanks Fran

It was very easy to configure and setup on my website. The only issue I had to deal with was to decide what channels not to include in the pop up on the website. I need to be clear what are the essential channels to include for each site that I design. Very happy to give Top Marks to this Plugin. Most of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Analytics. Boei allows those users in particular contact me on the preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. Its a pop up and also give the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now and I am very happy to recommend. I need to make sure I am not including channel options that are not relevant, so I need to be sure of my target audience to avoid clutter when the pop up is activated.

It makes it easier for website visitors to engage with me on the channel of their choice. Installing Boei was simple, took less than 5 minutes, and I was up and running. What I liked is that you can install it on Wordpress, HTML, and even on other page builders. You can use it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Live chat, Facebook messenger, or any combination of them at once so that visitors can pick the channel they're most comfortable with. None at the moment, everything is working as it should be.

How is this possible? I have been searching for a service like boei, without success for over a year. What magic is this? Isn't set up supposed to be supremely complicated, involving a coding degree, extensive technical knowledge and possibly a miracle? Boei just works. It works so well I was suspicious of it for nearly a whole week, sending endless texts and emails to myself in utter disbelief, when it failed to keel over! Set up is straight forward, easy and takes minutes. Seriously, I cannot recommend Boei enough.

Just about as easy as it gets. It uses all the ways you already have to connect to you, lets your customers choose how they want to connect, and doesn't give you another place to check for messages. Has plenty of configuration options, and support has been very responsive, and willing to listen to ideas to make improvements. Really pleased with how it looks on my sites as well. Bit of a bargain!

Boei has been a time saver for me. I was looking for a way to integrate various social media chat options into my website so that my customers can contact me using the platform of their choice. I tried 3-4 other platforms but nothing came closer to the experience I finally got from Boei. Its WhatsApp and Google Map integration bought me over. I just wish it has support for Frase assistant and Gist assistant. Ease of use, and painless integration of various chat platforms. lacking integration with Frase and Gist and some of the labels are confusing.

I like that Boei is an AI that learns and continues improving by using our website's information to best answer user questions and guide them on our site. The ease of use is fantastic, requiring no coding or extensive setup work. I was able to have it running on our website in less than 30 minutes even with full customization. If I were to grade the setup ease on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11.

Nowadays, omnichannel offers us great advantages, but when we want to incorporate all the channels in our site we face a great dilemma: to include icons for each channel, generating visual saturation and confusion.

FAQ

Telegram for Squarespace Questions

How do I add Telegram to Squarespace?

Sign up for Boei, add your Telegram username, customize the widget. In Squarespace, go to Settings, Advanced, Code Injection, and paste the snippet in the footer. Takes 5 minutes. Full Squarespace guide.

Will the widget ruin my Squarespace design?

No. You control every visual detail: colors (hex values), position, size, icon, and animation. Most creatives match their accent color for a native look. The widget sits quietly until a visitor clicks it.

Can clients send large files through the widget?

Yes. Telegram supports files up to 2GB. Clients can send project briefs, reference images, mood boards, and documents directly through the Telegram conversation that started on your Squarespace site.

Do clients need to share their phone number?

No. Telegram uses usernames. Clients message @yourstudio without sharing personal phone numbers. This lowers the barrier for international clients who are cautious about sharing contact details.

Does it work with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?

Yes. Works with both versions, all templates including Brine, Bedford, and the 7.1 fluid engine. The widget loads independently and never conflicts with your template.

Can I show Telegram to international visitors only?

Yes. Geo-targeting shows Telegram to visitors from countries where it is dominant (Russia, Iran, Central Asia). Western visitors see WhatsApp or your preferred channel.

Does the AI answer questions about my services?

Yes. AI trains on your Squarespace pages: services, rates, portfolio descriptions, availability. When a potential client asks "do you shoot weddings in Tuscany?" the AI answers from your content.

How much does it cost?

From $19/mo. Includes Telegram widget, AI chatbot, shared inbox, lead capture, and 50+ channels. No per-seat AI fees. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
