So I found out I could use a link like this in HTML:

<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone={{phone_number}}" target="_blank">WhatsApp</a>

in order to let a user contact {{phone_number}} directly from a webpage (via WhatsApp web).

My question is: how to do the same but instead of WhatsApp, via Telegram?

Thank you in advance

Welcome to StackOverflow.

You should create a link like https://telegram.me/YourUsername for that purpose.
