How to Send TradingView Alerts to Telegram with Images and Cards
Most guides stop at pushing plain text from TradingView into Telegram. This one shows how to deliver a designed image card instead: the symbol, entry, targets, stop loss and your branding, drawn onto a clean design and posted to your channel automatically.
How do I send a TradingView alert to Telegram as an image?
You connect a TradingView webhook alert to a service that renders the alert into an image card and posts it to your channel through a Telegram bot. TradingView fires the alert, the renderer turns the alert data into a branded PNG, and your bot delivers it, usually within a few seconds. No screenshots, no manual editing, no copy-paste.
The three moving parts are always the same: TradingView (the trigger), a renderer (turns data into a card), and a Telegram bot (delivers to your channel). The step-by-step below wires them together.
Why send a card instead of a screenshot or plain text?
Because a designed card is the only format that is both readable and yours. A chart screenshot is noisy on a phone and carries no structure. Plain text is easy to skim past and looks like every other relay bot. A branded card puts the direction, the numbers and your name in one glance, and it gets forwarded, which is free reach for your channel.
- Screenshots are heavy, hard to read on mobile, and expose your indicators.
- Plain text is a commodity, dozens of bots do it, and it is forgettable.
- Designed cards are scannable, branded, and screenshot-proof: your name travels with every signal.
What do I need before I start?
You need three things, and two of them are free. A Telegram bot (free, made in two minutes with BotFather), a Telegram channel with that bot added as an admin (free), and TradingView alerts with webhooks (webhooks are a paid TradingView feature, available on the Essential plan and up). The renderer is the fourth piece, and it is what turns the raw alert into the card.
Honest note: TradingView webhook alerts require a paid TradingView plan. Everything else in this guide, the bot and the channel, is free.
Does this work for any market?
Yes. TradingView covers crypto, forex, stocks, indices and commodities, and the card is generated from whatever symbol and numbers your alert sends. The same setup delivers a BTCUSD scalp, an EURUSD swing or a NIFTY positional call, each with the correct ticker logo and your branding.
Send TradingView alerts to Telegram as image cards
- 1
Create a Telegram bot
Open Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot, and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token it gives you. This bot is what posts to your channel, so subscribers see your brand, not a third party.

Add the bot to your channel as admin
Create or open your Telegram channel, go to Administrators, add your new bot, and give it permission to post messages. Grab the channel's chat id (public channels use @yourchannel).

Pick a card design and get your webhook URL
In your card tool, choose a design and copy the ready-made alert message and the unique webhook URL it gives you. The message is the data contract; you paste it once and never touch it again.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to code to send TradingView alerts to Telegram as images?+
No. The webhook and the ready-made alert message do the wiring for you. You paste one message into TradingView and point the alert at a webhook URL. There is no script to host and nothing to maintain.
Is a paid TradingView plan required?+
Yes, for webhooks. TradingView webhook alerts are a paid feature (Essential plan and up). The Telegram bot and channel are free.
Will my subscribers see my brand or someone else's?+
Yours. The card carries your branding and the message is posted through your own Telegram bot, so there is no third-party watermark on your channel.
How fast does the card arrive?+
Usually a few seconds from the moment the alert fires. The card render itself takes milliseconds; the rest is network and Telegram delivery.
What happens if the image fails to generate?+
A good setup falls back to a formatted text message so the alert always lands. You never miss a signal because of a rendering hiccup.
