In the era of information noise, Telegram channels have become a powerful tool for communication, promotion and knowledge sharing.
However, many channel administrators face a problem: how to organize the flow of information and better understand their audience?
In this article, we will tell you how to use the Conoted application to create a structured knowledge base and contacts from a Telegram channel, automatically tag subscribers by their interests and why this is beneficial for attracting channel authors.
Why create a knowledge base and contacts?
Telegram channels often become a repository of valuable information: from professional advice to discussions in the comments. But without structuring, content turns into chaos, and subscribers remain an anonymous mass. Creating a knowledge base and contacts allows you to:
- Organize content: Transform messages into structured notes with tags for quick search.
- Understand the audience: Identify the interests of subscribers and segment them for targeted interaction.
- Attract authors: Give channel administrators a tool for targeting ads and increasing engagement.
- Create a mailing list: Export a copy of contacts to an Excel file for further mailings, while maintaining control for the channel owner.
Important: Conoted does not collect your channel contacts. We create a copy of the data (logins, IDs, interest tags) and provide it to you as an Excel file so that you, as a channel owner, can use it for mailings or targeting. Legally, we cannot and do not collect data from real Telegram users without their consent - only copies with tags for your convenience.
Conoted is a platform that helps turn Telegram messages into a knowledge base, automatically structure them and link them to contacts, and tag users by interests.
Step 1: Create a knowledge base from a Telegram channel
1.1. Integrating Telegram with Conoted
You connect a Telegram bot to Conoted (it takes 2 minutes).
After connecting:
- All posts from your channel are automatically added to Conoted as separate notes;
- Each note is automatically tagged — topics, concepts, keywords are highlighted;
- The system links similar posts together.
Already at this stage, your feed becomes a convenient content system — instead of endless scrolling, users can move from topic to topic, see connections and structure.
1.2. Structuring messages
Conoted uses knowledge management methodologies, such as Zettelkasten, to organize content:
- Automatic tagging: Each message from the channel automatically receives tags based on content. For example, posts about running are tagged #running, about marketing — #marketing.
- Manual adjustment: You can add additional tags or create new connections for a more precise structure.
- Creating groups: Useful notes can be combined into other thematic groups within Conoted. For example, all messages about productivity are transferred to the “Productivity” group, and all users who are interested in this topic can also be transferred there. This will make it easier to manage your targeting.
Step 2: Collecting and tagging contacts
2.1. Audience parsing
- Active user filtering: Conoted focuses only on active subscribers, excluding “dead” (inactive) users to ensure high-quality segmentation.
- Excel export: Collected data (logins, IDs, tags) is exported to an Excel file, which you can use for mailings or analysis. Conoted does not store this data - it belongs to you.
- Ethics and legality: Data collection is carried out in accordance with Telegram rules and data protection laws (e.g. GDPR). We only create a copy of user data (IDs and tags), and real users remain under your control.
2.2. Automatic tagging by interests and Audience segmentation
Conoted uses AI to analyze subscriber activity and their interaction with content:
- Comment analysis: If a subscriber comments on posts with the #run tag, Conoted automatically assigns this tag to him.
- Divide your subscribers into interest groups (e.g. #marketing, #technology, #education). This allows you to create personalized newsletters or targeted advertising.
2.4: Topic targeting
What does this give you as a channel author?
You can select an audience by topic. For example, select everyone who commented or was active in notes with the tag “finance” or “web3”.
These people are your warm contacts. You know that they are already interested.
You can:
- send them a personal message,
- offer an advertising integration, product or service,
- invite them to a closed community or webinar.
This is no longer broad advertising “for everyone”, but smart communication with a precise audience.
Step 3: Attracting channel authors
3.1. Why is it beneficial for authors?
Telegram channel authors strive to increase engagement and monetization. Conoted helps:
- Learn about subscribers: Authors receive an Excel file with copies of active subscribers' data and their interests (for example, 30% are interested in technology, 20% in business), which allows them to create relevant content.
- Target advertising: Segmentation by tags allows you to offer advertisers targeted placement (for example, advertising running shoes for users with the #run tag).
- Control over data: You, as the channel owner, retain full control over the contact copy, using them for mailings or integration with other platforms.
- Increase in revenue: Targeted advertising has a higher conversion rate, which increases its cost and attractiveness to advertisers.
3.2. How to attract authors?
- Value Demonstration: Show authors how Conoted structures their content and provides an Excel copy of their contacts for mailings. Offer a trial period to analyze their channel.
- Partnership: Offer mutual PR or barter: you provide access to Conoted, and authors talk about the platform in their channels, attracting new users.
- Case Studies: Share examples of how other channels increased engagement by 20-30% thanks to segmentation and targeting through Conoted.
3.3. Integration with Advertising Platforms
Conoted can integrate with Telegram Ads or other services (e.g. eLama, click.ru) to automate advertising campaigns.
- Set up targeting based on tags from an Excel file created by Conoted.
- Analyze advertising performance through Conoted's built-in analytics to show authors the growth of subscribers and engagement.
Practical example:
Imagine you have a Telegram channel about a healthy lifestyle with 5,000 subscribers. You connect the channel to Conoted:
- Create a knowledge base: All posts about running, nutrition, and yoga are automatically tagged (#running, #nutrition, #yoga). You create groups for each topic.
- Tagging: Subscribers who comment on posts about running receive the #running tag. Those who participate in surveys about nutrition receive the #nutrition tag.
- Mailings and advertising: You use an Excel file for targeted mailings or pass data to advertisers, offering sneaker ads to an audience with the #running tag.
- Attracting authors: You contact authors of fitness channels, showing that 40% of your subscribers are interested in running, and offer advertising using the data from Excel.
Benefits for channel creators

- Control over data: You own a copy of contacts and can use it for any purpose.
- Increase loyalty: Personalized content increases subscriber engagement.
- Monetization: Targeted advertising attracts more advertisers willing to pay for targeted coverage.
