Before you begin
- A signed-in Harmonise account
- A Harmonise environment with the selected messaging provider configured
The Messaging integrations section in Settings lets you connect Telegram or WhatsApp where the provider destination and live delivery are configured for your Harmonise environment. Both mobile and web expose the connection controls, but availability remains limited by deployment and provider configuration.
Connect a provider
On mobile, open Settings and find Messaging integrations. On web, open Settings and find the same section.
- Choose Connect Telegram or Connect WhatsApp.
- Choose Open Telegram or Open WhatsApp when available, or copy the displayed command.
- Send the complete command to the intended provider conversation before it
expires. Telegram uses
/start <link-token>. - Return to Harmonise and choose Check connection when needed. The connection dialog or sheet can also check while it remains open.
- Review the active integration settings.
Linking commands are short-lived, single-use, and private. Copying a command does not prove that the provider bot or delivery service is live. If a command expires or has already been used, create a new command rather than editing or reusing it. Direct opening depends on a configured provider destination.
Settings available after connecting
Both clients currently expose these settings for an active provider:
- Create events and tasks controls ordinary natural-language planning requests.
- Inbox notifications sends eligible Harmonise Inbox updates through the connected provider.
- Daily summary enables or disables the scheduled summary.
- Summary time chooses the local delivery time when Daily summary is on.
- Disconnect stops the provider connection.
Create events and tasks is the setting shown by the current mobile and web
clients for ordinary natural-language planning requests. Whether
natural-language creation can run also depends on the saved preference, the
required paid entitlement, whether entitlement verification is available,
assistant availability, and current usage and rate limits. Deterministic
Telegram commands such as /create_task, /create_event, /today, and
/tasks are documented separately and do not rely on natural-language
interpretation in the same way.
Inbox notifications
Telegram or WhatsApp is an additional delivery channel. Receiving a message does not mark an Inbox item as read, accepted, dismissed, approved, completed, or otherwise acted upon. Open Harmonise when the required action is not available or is not safe to perform in the provider conversation. Turning off Inbox notifications or Daily summary changes delivery only; it does not delete the underlying Plan.
Daily summaries
Enable Daily summary and select Summary time. The time uses your Harmonise account timezone, and Settings can show the next scheduled summary when it is available. A summary can include relevant Events, scheduled or due Tasks, overdue work, and Inbox counts where supported.
A daily summary is a planning view, not a second copy of the calendar. Delayed delivery does not change the times saved on your Events or Tasks. Changing the account timezone can change the local time of the next delivery. The current mobile and web Settings screens do not expose editing for daily-summary templates.
Disconnect and reconnect
Choose Disconnect and confirm when you no longer want to use the provider conversation. Disconnecting prevents new protected commands and notifications through that integration, but it does not delete your Harmonise account, Events, Tasks, Inbox items, or unrelated settings.
To use the provider again, return to Messaging integrations, create a new linking command, and consume it in the intended conversation. A previous command cannot be reused.
Availability and troubleshooting
Messaging integrations remain limited. Delivery can depend on the provider bot or account configuration, webhook configuration, enabled backend capabilities, required workers, outbound delivery, paid entitlement for natural-language processing, rate limits, and current deployment certification. The Settings card can be connected even when one of those services is temporarily unavailable.
If a provider is still pending, send the complete linking command to the correct conversation and choose Check connection again. If natural-language creation is unavailable, check the Create events and tasks switch and use a deterministic Telegram command or the Harmonise app while the capability, entitlement, or rate limit recovers. If a daily summary arrives at the wrong time, check the account timezone, saved Summary time, recent reconfiguration, and the Next summary value shown in Settings.
