Implement Telegram Channel Join Tracking as Google Ads Conversions

Job ID: 39137785

Budget: ₹100 – ₹400 INR

Project Overview: We need a skilled developer to set up an end-to-end system that tracks Telegram channel joins as conversions in Google Ads. By using a Telegram Bot, a backend server, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads, the system should accurately record when a user clicks a special link on our website, joins our Telegram channel, and thereby triggers a verified conversion.

This approach is outlined in the “Flow of Telegram Joining.pdf” and we’d like the hired freelancer to implement it from start to finish.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Ads & GTM: Familiarity with Google Tag Manager triggers, events, and server-to-server conversion tracking.
Programming Languages/Frameworks: Node.js or a similar server-side framework for both the bot and backend logic (preferred).
Telegram Bot API: Experience creating and managing Telegram bots, handling bot commands, and subscribing to chat/member updates.
Database: Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases to store the UUID/GCLID pairs and conversion status.

Scope of Work

Telegram Bot Setup
Create (or update) a Telegram bot using @BotFather.
Configure the bot with the necessary permissions (admin on the Telegram channel, ability to see membership changes).
Implement the bot logic to handle start commands (with a UUID payload) and detect channel joins.

Backend Server Development
Create REST endpoints to:
Store click data (UUID + GCLID).
Verify successful channel joins and mark them as conversions.
Update a database table (e.g., conversions) to track the UUID, GCLID, and status (converted or not).
Implement server-side integration for Google Tag Manager triggers or direct Google Ads conversion API / Measurement Protocol calls.

Website Integration
Add JavaScript that:
Generates a unique UUID and captures the GCLID (if present) from the URL.
Sends this data to the backend (track-click endpoint).
Redirects users to the Telegram bot with the UUID.
Ensure that the user flow from the site to the Telegram bot is smooth and robust.

Google Tag Manager & Google Ads Setup
Configure Google Tag Manager to listen for a custom event (e.g., telegram_conversion).
Trigger the Google Ads conversion tracking tag when the event is received.
(Optional) Use Measurement Protocol/Server-to-Server tracking for reliable conversion reporting in Google
Analytics or Google Ads.

Testing & Verification
Provide test scenarios to confirm the system accurately detects a Telegram channel join and correctly sends a conversion signal to Google Ads.
Ensure reliability (e.g., reconnection or retry logic if any service is temporarily unavailable).
