Telegram bot

Track expenses by sending a Telegram message

Message @ledger_copilot_bot the way you'd tell a friend what you spent. FinLedger logs it in the right category and keeps your dashboard in sync.

Log spending in plain language

  • spent 500 food → an expense of ₹500 under Food & Dining
  • paid 18000 rent → an expense under Rent & Housing
  • got 65000 salary or +45000 freelance payment → income
  • summary → this month's income, expenses and top categories

For anything else, just ask — the assistant answers questions using your own data.

Split group expenses from the chat

  • groups — your groups and your balance in each
  • debts — everything pending across groups
  • balance in Goa Trip — your balance in one group
  • add 1200 in Goa Trip for dinner — a new equal-split expense
  • settle with Priya in Goa Trip — settle what's pending with one member

Anything that changes money — adding a group expense or settling — shows a preview first and waits for you to confirm.

Bill reminders

If you've added recurring bills, the bot reminds you about ones due in the next three days, at most once a day per bill. Reply with /paybill once it's paid.

In the web app, open Settings → Security and choose to link Telegram. You'll get a one-time code and a button that opens the bot with the code filled in — send it, and the page confirms the link.
