Connect Telegram

Authorize the intended Telegram account and confirm its connection before scheduling.

Steps

  1. Open Telegram and contact the official @BotFather yourself.
  2. Use /newbot and follow its instructions to create a bot.
  3. Copy the bot token and keep it private.
  4. Open your target channel's administrator settings.
  5. Add your bot as an administrator with permission to post messages.
  6. In Postial, open Brands → select your brand → Connect a channel, then choose telegram.
  7. Paste the token into Bot token.
  8. Enter the channel's @username or numeric chat ID, including any minus sign.
  9. Save and confirm that the displayed channel is correct.
  10. Write at most 4096 characters, including any attached link.
  11. With images, the first 1024 characters become the caption; remaining text follows separately.
  12. Postial supports up to four images per post (Telegram itself supports ten per album), with the caption on the first image.
  13. Public channels get a message link; private channels may not expose one.
  14. If a warning says the remaining text failed, send it manually instead of reposting the images.
  15. If access fails, check the token, chat ID, and bot administrator permissions.
