What You Need

  • A Telegram account (free — download it from telegram.org)
  • Notifications enabled on your phone

That's it. No credit card needed for the free version.

Step 1: Create Your Account (30 seconds)

  1. Go to telvin-bot.com
  2. Click "Get Started with Telegram"
  3. Authorise access in the popup
  4. Done — you're in!

Note: We only collect your public Telegram username. Zero sensitive data.

Step 2: Set Up Your Telegram Bot (free version)

To use the free version, you need to create your own Telegram bot. It's straightforward:

  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather (or click here)
  2. Send the command /newbot
  3. Follow the instructions to name your bot
  4. Copy the token that BotFather gives you (keep it safe!)
  5. Go back to your Telvin Bot dashboard
  6. In the "Set up your bot" section, paste the token
  7. Click "Save bot"

Your bot is now ready to send you alerts!

Step 3: Create Your First Alert

Free version: Use the /add command

  1. Open the chat with your Telegram bot (the one you just created)
  2. Type the command /add
  3. Follow the instructions to set up your alert:
    • Enter your keywords (e.g. "Nike Air Max 90 size 42")
    • Refine with the suggested filters

Tip: Be specific with your keywords to avoid useless notifications. "Jordan 1 new 42" > "trainers".

Useful commands:

  • /add — Create a new keyword alert
  • /addurl — Create a URL-based alert (Premium)
  • /show — View all your alerts
  • /help — List of all commands

Premium version: URL alert with /addurl

For ultra-precise searches with up to 5 alerts, use the /addurl command in your Telegram bot.

Option 1: Copy the URL from Vinted

  1. Go to Vinted and run your search with all the filters (brand, size, price, condition, colour...)
  2. Copy the page URL (it contains all your filters)
  3. In the chat with your bot, type /addurl
  4. Paste the URL when the bot asks for it

Option 2: Use the Telvin filter builder

  1. Go to telvin-bot.com/filters
  2. Set up your filters directly on the site
  3. Copy the generated URL
  4. In the chat with your bot, type /addurl
  5. Paste the URL when the bot asks for it

The URL contains all your filters. Telvin Bot monitors exactly what you want.

Step 4: Receive Your Notifications

Notifications arrive directly on Telegram. Each alert includes:

  • Photo of the item
  • Price
  • Direct link to Vinted

Speed:

  • Free: 10 seconds
  • Premium: 750ms

Make sure notifications are enabled on your phone (Settings > Telegram > Notifications).

3 Pro Tips

1. Search for typos

Sellers often misspell brand names. These items are undervalued because fewer people find them.

Example alerts to create:

  • "Aire Max" (instead of Air Max)
  • "Adiddas" (instead of Adidas)
  • "Zarah" (instead of Zara)

Result: 30% less competition = better chances for you.

2. Create multiple variants (Premium)

If you're on Premium with 5 alerts, create variants for Air Max 90:

  • "Nike Air Max 90"
  • "Air Max 90" (without Nike)
  • "AM90" (abbreviation)
  • "Aire Max 90" (with typo)

The wider your coverage, the more you find.

3. React fast

70% of the best deals sell within the first 5 minutes. With your notifications enabled and your payment method saved on Vinted, you can buy in 30 seconds flat.
