Your own bot
You create the bot with @BotFather and add it as a channel admin, so you stay in full control.
Why Telegram with AutoPost?
Formatted for channels
A short headline on the first line, then the value in bullet points — sized for quick reading.
Image with the message
The image is sent with the text; if the text exceeds Telegram’s caption limit, the image is sent first and then the message.
Available free
Telegram is included in the free plan, along with WordPress and Facebook.
Setting up Telegram posting
1
Create a bot
Open @BotFather, send /newbot and copy the token.
2
Add it to your channel
As an admin with permission to post messages.
3
Enter the details in AutoPost
The token and the channel name, e.g. @mychannel.
4
Pick a frequency
Publishing starts automatically.
Public and private channels
For public channels just enter the channel name as @channelname, and the link to each published message appears in your publishing log. For private channels use the numeric ID that starts with -100.
Telegram does not give bots the usual view statistics, so AutoPost shows the publishing status and message link. You can publish the same content to Facebook, Instagram and X at the same time, with text tailored to each platform.
FAQ
Can it post to a Telegram group?
Yes. Add the bot to the group and use the group’s numeric ID instead of a channel name.
Does the bot read my channel messages?
The bot is used for sending only; AutoPost does not read channel messages.
What is the maximum message length?
Messages are written at roughly 50–110 words, well under Telegram’s limits.
Do I need a phone number or a special account?
No — the bot and the channel are enough.
