Three Steps to Done: How to Filter Telegram 3-Day Active Data – A Practical Guide for Efficient Batch Number Screening

In overseas marketing, the quality of active Telegram users directly determines the conversion rate of private messages and the cost of community acquisition. You may have already collected tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of phone numbers, but a large portion of them are “zombie accounts” that were registered but have been inactive for a long time. To precisely reach high-value users who have been online within the last 72 hours, you must learn to filter Telegram 3-day active data. This article uses the KK-DATA console as an example to walk you through the complete process from 0 to 1, and provides practical advice on active window selection, result interpretation, and pre‑preparation.

What Is Telegram 3-Day Active Data and Why Do Overseas Marketers Need It?

“3-day active” means that the user has at least one online record within the last 72 hours (including actively sending/receiving messages, joining/leaving groups, etc.). Corresponding options include 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day active – the shorter the window, the higher the user engagement, but the fewer numbers screened out.

For overseas marketing teams, 3-day active users are high-conversion touchpoints:

• Time‑limited promotions: Flash sales, coupon campaigns – you need users to see and reply quickly;
• Community invitations: Active users are more likely to speak and drive viral growth after joining a group;
• Private message verification: Many third‑party tools limit daily send volumes; prioritizing 3-day active users significantly improves open and reply rates.

In contrast, 7-day or 15-day active numbers are larger in quantity but include some “low‑frequency” users, making them suitable for long‑term community management or brand exposure campaigns. 3-day active data is best for campaigns that demand instant feedback.

Complete Process for Filtering Telegram 3‑Day Active Data (5 Steps)

Below is a demonstration using the KK-DATA console, from uploading numbers to exporting a 3‑day active list.

Step 1: Log in to the Console and Enter the “Number Screening” Module

Open https://app.kkdata.cc/ and log in with your registered account. Find the “Number Screening” entry in the left navigation bar on the main interface, then click to enter the task creation page.

Step 2: Upload Phone Numbers and Select Telegram Detection Type

1. Click “New Task”, then under “Data Source” choose “Upload Number File” (CSV/TXT supported, one number per line).
2. In the detection platform, select Telegram.
3. In the detection type list, you must check both:
   • tg valid (checks whether the number is registered on Telegram)
   • tg active detection (checks the recent online status)
4. In the “Active Window” dropdown, select 3 days (representing 72 hours).
5. If needed, you can also check tg gender identification (analyzes gender from the profile picture) to assist with later copywriting.
6. Confirm the estimated cost (the page will automatically show the estimated balance consumption), then submit the task.

Step 3: Submit the Task, Wait for Results, and Export the Active List

After submission, the system starts detection. You can monitor progress in the “Task Details” area of the console. When completed, you can either receive a Telegram notification (requires binding a bot in “Settings → Notifications”) or refresh the page to view the result.

Export operation:

• Go to the completed task page and click “Export Results”.
• Choose the format (CSV / TXT), and check “Export only passed items” – this will include only numbers with the result “tg valid + 3‑day active”.
• Download the file and use it for subsequent private messages or community invitations.

Three Preparations Before Batch Screening to Avoid Wasteful Consumption

Making these preparations before formal screening can significantly reduce balance usage:

1. Deduplicate Data: Duplicate numbers across multiple files will cause repeated detection charges. It is recommended to first import all numbers into KK-DATA’s Data Dedup Warehouse, which automatically removes duplicates and generates a unique list.

   Note

   Use the data dedup warehouse first to filter out duplicate numbers, avoiding repeated detection and wasting balance.

2. Ensure Sufficient Balance: Before submitting a task, check your balance in the upper‑right corner of the console. If the balance is insufficient, the task cannot be submitted – you need to recharge first. Recharge is done via USDT (TRC20), with a minimum of approximately 50 USDT; the balance updates automatically after arrival. For specific unit prices, see the official pricing page or real‑time prices shown in the console.

3. Validate Number Format: Ensure numbers include the country code (e.g., +86, +1) and contain no spaces or symbols. The system automatically filters malformed numbers, but cleaning them in advance reduces unnecessary detection.

How to Set the Active Window More Reasonably? A Practical Comparison of 3‑Day vs. 7‑Day vs. 15‑Day

Different businesses have different requirements for user real‑time activity. The following table provides a visual comparison:

Active Window	Use Cases	Advantages	Disadvantages
3 days	Flash sales, limited‑time offers, high‑urgency private messages	Highest conversion, strong online willingness	Smallest quantity, requires a larger raw number pool
7 days	Long‑term community recruitment, brand outreach	Balances quantity and quality, stable performance	Some users have lower reply willingness
15 days	Batch following, basic data cleaning	Large volume, suitable for mass screening	Contains many low‑frequency users, low reply rate
30 days	Full export of valid numbers	Covers almost all registered users	Many zombie accounts, high risk for private messages

Three Practical Suggestions:

• Scenario 1: Highly time‑sensitive marketing campaigns → Choose 3 days. For example, “Limited discount at 8 PM tonight” – you need to send private messages a few hours before the event; 3‑day active users are most likely to see and participate.
• Scenario 2: Long‑term community operations → Choose 7 days or 15 days. If you are running a Telegram course‑sharing group or a product beta group, immediate replies are not required; 7‑day active is sufficient, and the quantity is 3–5 times larger than 3‑day active.
• Scenario 3: Data cleaning → Run “tg valid” first, then filter activity from those results. This eliminates unregistered numbers early and then grades by active window, saving more balance.

How to Read Detection Results: tg Valid, tg Active, and Gender Tags

After each screening, you’ll see the result fields for each number. Understanding the differences helps you build more precise outreach strategies:

• tg valid (True/False): Whether the number is registered on Telegram. Being “valid” alone does not mean the user will reply – many users never use Telegram after registration.
• tg active (True/False): Whether there is an online record within the window you set. This is the core metric for user activity. Only numbers that are both “valid + active” are worth prioritizing.
• tg gender (Male/Female/Unknown): AI recognition based on the profile picture; can help with gender‑specific copy. Note: Returns “Unknown” when the avatar is missing or unclear.

Recommended Export Combination: Set the export condition to “tg valid = True AND tg active = True AND tg gender ≠ Unknown”. This gives you high‑value, reachable users.

How to Manage Screened Active Numbers After Batch Screening?

After screening, don’t simply discard the original list. We recommend the following management strategy:

1. Export immediately: After the task completes, download the “passed items” list and save it locally or in your CRM.
2. Keep a record in the dedup warehouse: Upload the already‑screened numbers to KK-DATA’s “Data Dedup Warehouse” and mark them as “processed”. New numbers imported later will be automatically excluded, avoiding repeated detection.
3. Add tier labels: In the exported CSV, add an “activity level” column (e.g., 3‑day active, 7‑day active, valid but inactive) so you can send targeted messages for different campaigns.

Common Billing and Task Delay Issues

• When charges occur: Balance is deducted only after the task is completed. If the task is cancelled or fails mid‑way, no charge is incurred.
• Queue waiting: When the system is under high load, tasks may enter a waiting queue. Your balance is still sufficient, but the start time of detection will be delayed. You can see the estimated wait time in the console.
• Insufficient balance: When submitting a task, if the estimated cost exceeds your account balance, the system will prompt “Insufficient balance” and the task cannot be submitted. You need to recharge first and try again.
• Viewing unit prices: The unit price for each detection type (tg valid, tg active, tg gender) is updated on the console’s “Real‑time Price” page or the official pricing page. Prices are shown as they are; there is no fixed package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I filtered Telegram 3‑day active data, but the result only shows “valid” without “active”. What should I do?

A: Please make sure that when uploading the task, you checked “tg active detection” in the detection type and set the active window to “3 days”. If you only checked “tg valid”, you will only get registration results.

Q: Does 3‑day active data mean the user must have sent a message within the last 72 hours?

A: “Active” means the user has had online behavior (including entering/leaving groups, sending/receiving messages, etc.) within the past 72 hours. It is not limited to sending messages. The specific judgment criteria are returned by the platform system in real time and cannot be manually intervened.

Q: Can a batch of over 1 million numbers be screened at once?

A: The upper limit for a single task is approximately 1 million. If the data set is larger, we recommend uploading in batches or using the data dedup warehouse to split the list and then submit tasks one by one.

Q: Can the active numbers screened be directly used for bulk group joining or private messaging?

A: The screened active numbers are valid targets, but actual group joining/private messaging operations must comply with Telegram’s platform rules. Control the frequency carefully to avoid account restrictions.

Q: How long do I have to wait after submitting a screening task?

A: Processing time depends on the task size and system load. Small tasks (a few thousand numbers) are usually completed within minutes to tens of minutes. You can check the result via Telegram notification or in the console.
