Hi Vrinda,
It's important to exercise caution when communicating with clients, especially on external platforms like Telegram. While many clients may use other messaging services for convenience, it's always a good practice to ensure your communication remains within Upwork's platform for security and transparency.
If you feel comfortable, you can politely ask the client if they would be willing to discuss the project details on Upwork's messaging system. If they insist on using Telegram, be cautious and avoid sharing sensitive information until you have established a level of trust with the client. Remember to follow Upwork's guidelines and policies to protect yourself and your work.
Best regards,
