# Telegram

> Answer review requests inside Telegram with the HITL mini app, join workflows with a code, and invite reviewers.

The HITL mini app runs inside Telegram, so reviewers can answer without installing anything else. A review step sends to Telegram when **Telegram** is on under **Send to** in its [Reviewers](https://docs.hitl.sh/concepts/review-steps.md#reviewers) settings.

## Get started

Open [@Human\_ApprovalBot](https://t.me/Human_ApprovalBot) in Telegram and launch the mini app. It signs you in with your Telegram account; if you already use HITL, sign in with your email once to link the two.

## Answer a request

The **Dashboard** lists what is waiting for you. Open a request, choose your answer under **Your response**, and tap **Submit Response**.

## Invite reviewers

On a workflow you own, **Invite** shows its join code with **Copy link** and **Share**, so you can send it to a Telegram chat. **Edit on my.hitl.sh** opens the editor.
