Not possible at the moment if telegram doesn’t allow the domain into their system.  
But, Ghost can help them to prioritise which domain that should be added by adding telegram channel option into the meta data. i know this can be done from theme code, but it’s more blogger friendly if done from the setting panel.

like what i suggested here

> [@Ghost-Admin - add Telegram option in site meta settings and social accounts setting](https://forum.ghost.org/t/ghost-admin-add-telegram-option-in-site-meta-settings-and-social-accounts-setting/10808):

> Request to add Telegram to this General Settings \>\> Site Meta and Social Accounts Once in a while, telegram hold a contest for any domain to be able to have instant view version for their site. It is good to allow any content creator that prefer their site to be viewed in instant view to add their telegram channel easily without hardcoding it.

@Sarah it’s possible to make manually for your dedicated website. Just visit: [https://instantview.telegram.org/](https://instantview.telegram.org/), and generate new template.

For example, here is an instant view template for **digest - theme** posts:

```auto
~version: "2.0"

?exists: //meta[@property="og:type"]
!exists: //meta[@content="article"]

body: //article/section[has-class("gh-content")]
title: $body//h1[1]
cover: //figure[has-class("gh-article-image")]

```

Unfortunately telegram doesn’t accept any new domain or template. Yes it’s possible but not as good as accepted domain

That’s not true. Telegram provides wide ability to setup instant view for your personal resource.

All you need is to:

1. Build correct rules (check my example for **digest-theme** [above](https://forum.ghost.org/t/telegram-instant-view-support/30/3))
2. Go through at least 10 urls and verify that everything looks nice and sweet
3. Submit template

You right, so you could create your own template for your own website. And verify it, by making those three action I highlighted above.

Just find out that you can fix something in your theme and it can be seen [via instant view in Telegram.](https://instantview.telegram.org/)

I’m not a coder nowdays, so I can’t do it mysef. Maybe you can tell me?)
