@cadoumebot is the official Telegram bot for Cadou.me. Send any product link — the bot saves it as a wish to your collection or wishlist in seconds. Works in personal chats and group chats.

  • Instant — paste a link, wish is saved.
  • Group chats — everyone adds to one shared collection.
  • Any store — Amazon, AliExpress, Ozon, Wildberries, Rozetka, IKEA, and more.
  • Free — no subscription, no limits.

Part 1: Personal Chat — Your Private Wish Capture

Step 1: Open the Bot

Search @cadoumebot in Telegram or open t.me/cadoumebot. Tap Start.

Step 2: Connect Your Account

Tap Authorize or type /auth. The bot sends a one-time link — open it, log in to Cadou.me (or register free), and you're linked. Do this once.

Step 3: Pick a List

Tap My Collections or type /bind. Choose a collection or wishlist — or create one on the spot. Every product link you send from now on lands there.

Part 2: Group Chat — Collective Gift Planning

Step 1: Create or Open a Group

Add @cadoumebot to any existing group, or create a dedicated one — e.g. "Gift for Masha — March 15".

Step 2: Add @cadoumebot

Group Info → Add Members → search @cadoumebot → add.

Step 3: Make It an Admin

By default, bots in groups only see messages that mention them. To let the bot detect any link anyone pastes: tap the bot in the members list → EditPromote to Admin. The only permission needed is Read Messages — leave everything else off.

Step 4: Authorize and Bind a Collection

The organizer types /auth in the group, opens the link, logs in. Then types /bind and selects a collection. Done — the group is live.

Step 5: Participants Authorize Once

Anyone who wants to add wishes types /auth in the group chat and follows the same link flow — takes about 60 seconds. People who only want to view the collection need nothing — just share the Cadou.me collection URL.

Use Cases

A colleague's birthday in two weeks. Create a group chat, add the bot, everyone sends product links. The team browses the shared collection, picks a favourite, and splits the cost. No duplicate gifts, no spreadsheets.
Everyone says 'I don't need anything.' Add the bot to the family group. Each person binds their own collection, adds links over a few days. By Christmas everyone has a real, buyable list. Works great for Secret Santa too.
Bind a shared 'Wedding Wishlist' collection to your couple chat. Every time either partner spots something online, they paste the link. By the time invites go out you have a complete registry — no outside service needed.
See something you want while browsing? Paste the link to the bot — done in 10 seconds. Your wishlist stays current. When someone asks what you want for your birthday, share the link.
It's 10 PM and a birthday is tomorrow. Find the product, send the link to the bot, download the wish image from Cadou.me, send it with a note. Two minutes, zero panic.
Kids mention things they want constantly and you forget. Create a collection 'Leo's Wishes,' paste links when they say 'I want that.' Grandparents get a real, specific list instead of a shrug.
HR creates a Telegram group per upcoming birthday, adds the bot, invites colleagues. Everyone adds gift ideas asynchronously. Works across timezones without a single meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The bot and Cadou.me are both free — no paid tiers, no limits, no ads.
No. @cadoumebot is a native Telegram bot. Search for it and tap Start.
Any store with standard Open Graph tags — Amazon, AliExpress, Ozon, Wildberries, Rozetka, IKEA, Zara, Apple, Steam, and thousands more. If the bot can't parse a page it saves the URL and lets you fill in details manually on Cadou.me.
It detects your Telegram language. Supported: English, Romanian, Russian, and other languages available on Cadou.me.
No — social platforms don't expose product data. Find the item on the brand's website and send that link instead.
Only your Telegram chat ID linked to your Cadou.me account. The bot never reads private conversations — it only processes messages sent to it directly or links in groups where it's a member.

Tips

  • Pin the bot chat so it's one tap away when you find something you want.
  • Use "Share via Telegram" in your browser — send the page directly to @cadoumebot without copy-pasting.
  • Bind a seasonal collection early — make "Christmas 2026" in October and everything you find lands there automatically.
  • Create the gift group 3–4 weeks early so everyone has time to add ideas without a deadline rush.
  • Add a budget to the collection description on Cadou.me so everyone adds ideas in the right price range.
