The Gap Calculator & Telegram Alerts

Your Skandage Site is designed to do one thing: generate warm leads. The engine that makes this happen is the Coverage Gap Calculator.

Instead of a boring "Contact Me" form that nobody fills out, the calculator offers visitors something of value. Prospects answer a few quick questions about their life stage and income to see if they have enough coverage. To get their final results, they leave their contact information.

Here is how you make sure you get notified the exact second they do.

Why Telegram?​

We built Skandage to send your leads directly to your Telegram app, rather than your email.

Email gets buried under newsletters and agency updates. When a prospect is looking at their financial gaps on your website, they are a "hot" lead. A Telegram notification alerts your phone instantly, allowing you to reach out while they are still thinking about their finances.

How to Connect Your Telegram​

Connecting your site to your Telegram is a one-time setup process.

  1. Make sure you have the Telegram app installed on your phone or computer.
  2. Go to your Skandage Dashboard and navigate to your Account Settings (or Integrations).
  3. Look for the Telegram Lead Alerts section.
  4. Click the button to Connect Telegram. This will automatically open a chat with our secure Skandage Lead Bot.
  5. Tap Start at the bottom of the Telegram chat.

That's it! The bot is now permanently linked to your specific website.

Test Your Engine​

Never trust that a system works until you test it yourself.

  1. Open your live website on your phone or computer.
  2. Scroll down to your Gap Calculator and fill it out as if you were a potential client. Use a fake name like "Test Prospect."
  3. Hit submit.
  4. Check your phone. You should receive a Telegram message from the Skandage Bot within 3 seconds containing your fake prospect's details.

Skandage Tip: Speed to lead is everything. When you get a Telegram ping, the prospect is literally holding their phone looking at your website. A quick WhatsApp message saying, "Hi [Name], I saw you just used my calculator. Do you have 5 minutes to run through the results?" has an incredibly high response rate.

Next Step​

Now that your site looks great and is ready to capture leads, it's time to build your credibility so visitors actually trust you enough to use the calculator.
