Telegram's Gmail bot stops notifying after a few days

Hey everyone,

I’m having trouble with the Gmail bot on Telegram. At first, it worked fine when I set it up and allowed the necessary permissions. However, after a few days of normal operation, the bot suddenly stops sending notifications for new emails. It seems to fail without any apparent reason.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I’ve tried restarting the bot, but the problem only temporarily resolves itself. Any suggestions for keeping it running consistently would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I encountered a similar situation with the Telegram Gmail bot recently. In my case, ensuring that background app refresh and disabling battery optimization in the device settings resolved the issue. This seemed to keep the bot active without interruptions. I also found that occasionally sending a manual command (like /start) helped stabilize its performance. If the problem persists, it’s worth reviewing Gmail account permissions and considering if recent changes in security settings are affecting the bot’s functionality.

I’ve dealt with this exact issue before. The root cause often lies in Telegram’s server-side limitations for bots. To mitigate this, I found success by setting up a cron job on a personal server that pings the bot every few hours. This keeps the connection alive and prevents the bot from going dormant.

Another workaround is using IFTTT instead of the native Telegram bot. It’s more reliable for long-term email notifications, though it lacks some of the Telegram bot’s features. If you’re tech-savvy, consider building a custom solution using Telegram’s API. It requires more setup but offers better stability and customization options.

Remember to check your Gmail account’s security settings periodically, as changes there can impact bot functionality.

i had this problem too. its super annoying! wat worked for me was logging out of telegram completely and then logging back in. also, check ur gmail settings - sometimes they change without u knowing. if all else fails, maybe try a different email notification bot? theres a bunch out there that might be more reliable
