Comprehensive Guide to Telegram tgid Export: Field Meanings, Marketing Integration, and Screening Tool Comparison

In overseas marketing and community management, Telegram number screening has become a standard operational procedure. However, after completing the screening, many teams face a critical issue: How to efficiently connect the screened results with their own CRM, automation tools, or mass messaging systems? The answer lies in the tgid export feature. tgid is the unique numeric ID assigned by Telegram to each user, stable and independent of username changes. It is the core data for precision marketing integration.

This article provides a complete, actionable guide covering the definition of tgid export, field meanings, integration methods, platform comparisons, and operational procedures. Whether you are preparing to build a private traffic pool or need to optimize existing delivery processes, this content will help you find the most suitable solution.

What is tgid Export? Why is it Crucial for Overseas Marketing?

tgid stands for Telegram User ID, a positive integer numeric ID (e.g., 123456789) assigned by the Telegram system that never repeats. It differs from the user-customizable @username, which can be modified or released, whereas tgid is permanently bound.

tgid export refers to extracting the tgid corresponding to verified numbers after number screening (e.g., checking whether a Telegram account is active) and downloading them as a CSV or TXT file.

Core value of tgid in overseas marketing:

• Avoid duplicate additions: Storing tgid as an external ID in CRM ensures the same user is not contacted multiple times, saving communication costs.
• Precise user profiling: Combined with activity level and gender recognition (avatar recognition) results, user activity tags can be built even without WeChat IDs or email addresses.
• Cross-platform synchronization: When operating multiple channels simultaneously (Telegram, WhatsApp, Email), tgid can serve as the primary key to align data across all channels.
• Automated push notifications: Using the Telegram Bot API, tgid enables targeted message delivery to specific users, supporting tiered operations (e.g., only pushing to active users, excluding invalid numbers).

For overseas marketers, tgid export is the bridge connecting number screening with marketing systems—without this field, screening results are just a collection of isolated numbers.

Detailed Explanation of KK-DATA’s tgid Export Fields: Numeric Format and Business Use Cases

KK-DATA is a platform specializing in customer acquisition data screening, supporting multi-platform checks including Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, and RCS. When running a Telegram screening task, you can enable the tgid export option on the configuration page. The downloaded CSV/TXT file contains one row per number, with the following main fields:

Field Name	Format Example	Business Use
phone	8613800138000	Original number, used for linking with other systems
tgid	123456789	Telegram unique user ID, used as CRM primary key or API push target
active	active_7d	Indicates the number was active within the last 7 days; can be used for tiered push
gender	male	Based on avatar recognition; used for gender targeting (e.g., push games to male users, beauty products to female users)
is_valid	true	Indicates the number is registered with Telegram; used to exclude invalid numbers

Role of each field in marketing integration:

• tgid: Unique identifier, external ID in CRM, avoids duplicate customers; target recipient in automation tools.
• active (activity level): Determines push frequency. For example, users “active within 7 days” can receive high-priority messages, while “potentially valid” users enter a reactivation flow.
• gender: Assists in ad creative optimization, but note the data volume is small (only users with identifiable avatars).
• is_valid: Basic threshold; only retains activated numbers, reducing wasted invalid pushes.

tgid Numeric Format and Common Misconceptions

tgid is a positive integer, e.g., 5801234567. It is not an @username (e.g., @usa_fan). Many people mistakenly fill tgid into the @username field after export, causing API call failures. Remember:

• tgid: 5801234567 → Used for the chat_id parameter in Bot API.
• @username: @usa_fan → Used for search or invitations, but changeable.

The biggest advantage of tgid is stability—even if a user changes their username ten times, the tgid remains unchanged. This is crucial for long-term user value tracking and avoiding duplicate customer acquisition.

Export Format and Field Mapping Suggestions

Assume your exported CSV file (tgid_export.csv) contains:

phone,tgid,active,gender,is_valid
8613800138000,5801234567,active_7d,male,true
8613900239000,5802345678,active_30d,female,true
8615500340000,5803456789,invalid_90d,unknown,false

Mapping tgid to CRM fields:

• CRM’s “External ID” field → Insert tgid for deduplication and association.
• CRM’s “Custom Tags” → Combine active and gender into tags, e.g., active_7d_male, for convenient future filtering and push.
• “Notes” field → Record the raw active value for secondary decision-making by operations staff.

If your CRM or automation tool supports custom fields, it is strongly recommended to set tgid as a required external ID rather than just storing the phone number, as numbers can be replaced or recycled.

How to Connect tgid Export Results to Your Marketing System (CRM / Automation Tools)

There are three common integration methods for feeding the tgid export file into your marketing system.

Scenario 1: Manual Import into Salesforce / HubSpot and Other CRMs

Suitable for: Small teams using standard CRM features without real-time sync needs.

Steps:

1. Download the CSV file containing tgid from KK-DATA.
2. In the CRM, find the “Import Contacts” or “Import Customers” option.
3. Upload the CSV and map fields: map phone to “Phone Number,” tgid to “External ID” or “Custom ID.”
4. After import, the CRM automatically detects duplicates (based on external ID or phone number), avoiding duplicate customers.
5. Use the CRM’s “activity” tags or gender tags to tag each customer accordingly.

Pros: No development required, easy to learn and use.
Cons: Manual import each time after screening, no real-time updates.

Scenario 2: Integration with Telegram Bot and Automation Scripts for Targeted Push

Suitable for: Teams with technical staff or those using automation platforms like Zapi, n8n.

Steps:

1. Create a Bot: Create a Telegram Bot via @BotFather and note the Bot Token.
2. Write a Script: Use Python (python-telegram-bot or Telethon library) to read tgid from the CSV and push messages via the send_message method.
3. Tiered Push: Implement conditional logic based on the active field. For example:
   • If marked active_7d: Push high-frequency promotional messages.
   • If marked active_30d: Push low-frequency re-engagement messages.
   • If invalid or not activated: Skip.
4. Avoid Duplicates: Maintain a “pushed tgid list” in the script to prevent the same message from being sent twice.

Pros: High automation, can work with scheduled tasks (e.g., weekly push).
Cons: Requires technical skills; note Telegram’s restrictions on Bot pushes to users (user must have initiated a chat or the bot must not be in privacy mode).

Scenario 3: Secondary Processing via API (Custom Development)

If you use a self-built CRM or third-party marketing platform (e.g., SendPulse, ActiveCampaign), you can develop a middleware program:

1. Download CSV from KK-DATA.
2. Call the platform’s API to store each row of data (tgid, activity, gender) as user attributes.
3. Use the platform’s custom fields and triggers to set up automated marketing flows.

Minimal Example (pseudocode):

for row in csv_reader:
    tg_id = row['tgid']
    active = row['active']
    gender = row['gender']
    
    # Call CRM API to create/update user
    crm.create_user(
        external_id=tg_id,
        phone=row['phone'],
        tags=[active, gender],
        last_active=active
    )

Comparison of tgid Export Features: KK-DATA vs. 007data, thdata, and Other Major Platforms

Several Telegram number screening platforms exist, but they differ in tgid export functionality. Below is an objective comparison across four dimensions: feature completeness, pricing model, export format, and console usability. Note: The comparison is based on public documentation and user feedback; prices should be confirmed on each platform’s official website.

Dimension	KK-DATA	007data	thdata
tgid Export	Supported, field name tgid, pure numbers	Supported in some versions, field name may be user_id	Supported, but fewer export fields
Activity Detection	Supports 7/15/30-day activity windows, plus “valid” level	Supports activity detection, but fewer window options	Supports basic activity check, no sub-windows
Gender Recognition (Avatar)	Supported, export field includes gender	Not publicly supported	Not publicly supported
Export Format	CSV, TXT; fields can be customized	CSV	CSV
Pricing Model	Per-record deduction, no subscription; fee deducted after task completion	Subscription + usage-based billing	Subscription + usage-based billing
Console Usability	Clear task creation wizard, intuitive field selection	Feature-rich but somewhat complex	Fewer features, simple interface
Data Dedup Repository	Cross-task number deduplication to avoid re-checking	No built-in dedup; manual handling required	No built-in dedup

Objective Interpretation:

• If you need pay-per-use billing, complete activity windows, gender recognition, and want to export pure numeric tgid for direct use, KK-DATA is a more comprehensive choice.
• 007data and thdata are comparable in basic screening capabilities but may fall short in export fields (especially gender and fine-grained activity levels) for sophisticated operations.
• Pricing: KK-DATA uses a pay-per-record model with no subscription, suitable for teams with variable usage; 007data and thdata mostly use subscriptions. Long-term costs may be comparable depending on your volume.

Conclusion: If you need stable tgid export along with multi-level activity detection and gender recognition, KK-DATA is worth trying.

Best Practices for tgid Export and Data Security Considerations

tgid is a unique user identifier. Leakage or misuse may lead to user complaints or even account bans. Here are some proven best practices:

1. Hash and Desensitize tgid After Export

   • If tgid is only used for deduplication (not direct push), encrypt it with SHA256 and store it in the database to avoid plaintext storage.
   • If needed for Bot push, plaintext tgid must be retained, but ensure strict access control to the database.

2. Regularly Clean Up Expired Data

   • Activity data is time-sensitive. For example, a user marked as “active” 30 days ago may no longer be active today. It is recommended to re-screen numbers weekly to update tgid activity status.
   • Set a “Last Active Time” field in CRM; data inactive for over 90 days can enter a recycling flow.

3. Use the Dedup Repository to Save Detection Costs

   • KK-DATA has a built-in data dedup repository: when you submit a new screening task, the platform automatically compares against previously uploaded numbers and skips already checked numbers (balance is not refunded, but duplicate charges are avoided).
   • Suggestion: Keep a local record of “already screened numbers” using phone numbers as the primary key (since one phone number could theoretically correspond to different users’ tgid, though unlikely).

4. Compliant Use

   • Strictly adhere to privacy regulations in your country/region (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
   • Do not use tgid for illegal activities (e.g., spam ads, scams). Telegram has strict restrictions on Bot pushes, and misuse can lead to Bot bans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between tgid and @username? What is the use of exporting tgid?

A: @username is a user-customized nickname (e.g., @marketing_pro) that can be changed or deleted, whereas tgid is an automatically assigned numeric ID (unique and permanent). After exporting tgid, you can use it as an external primary key in CRM to accurately track individual users, avoiding duplicate identification due to username changes. Additionally, using tgid to call Bot API for message push is more stable and efficient than scanning @username.

Q: Does 007data support tgid export?

A: Some versions of 007data support exporting a user_id field (synonymous with tgid), but the field name may differ. It is recommended to check the CSV header after downloading. The export format of 007data is not fully public; you may need to contact customer support. Compared to KK-DATA, 007data does not publicly support gender recognition and multi-level activity windows. If you need these two types of data, KK-DATA may be a more suitable choice.

Q: How is thdata’s tgid export function? How does it compare to KK-DATA?

A: thdata supports tgid export, but with fewer export fields (usually only number and user_id). Its activity detection only distinguishes between “valid” and “invalid,” without 7/15/30-day windows. KK-DATA has advantages in activity granularity, gender recognition, and pay-per-use billing. Which platform to choose depends on your needs: if you only need basic registration detection, thdata may suffice; for sophisticated operations, consider trying KK-DATA.

Q: After exporting tgid, how do I integrate it with my Telegram marketing bot?

A: Use the tgid field from the exported CSV as the chat_id parameter in Bot API. For example, in Python using python-telegram-bot, call bot.send_message(chat_id=tgid, text="Hello"). Note: Bots can only send messages to users who have initiated a conversation with the bot (unless the admin sets the user as “Contact with bot” in a group). It is recommended to first invite users to interact with the bot via groups or channels to establish conversation association.

Q: Does tgid export involve user privacy? How to use it compliantly?

A: tgid itself is public information (as long as the user has Telegram and the number has been publicly accessible, the tgid may be obtained). However, if you store tgid in association with personally identifiable information such as phone numbers or email addresses, you must comply with privacy regulations like GDPR. Compliant practices include encrypting stored data, implementing access controls, informing users of data usage, and setting data retention periods. Never expose tgid together with full personal details in public places.
